Binoy Singh & Th. Rojen Singh Ecology Section, Center of Advanced Study in Life Sciences, Manipur University, Imphal West - 795003, Manipur ABSTRACT Sacred groves are small patches of land area which cover a certain area of forest or woodland preserving unique flora and fauna and having a very rich biodiversity. They are generally associated with strict socio-cultural and religious practices and social taboos. These inherited social taboos help in the conservation of biodiversity in the sacred grove of Manipur. In each and every sacred groves there must be some plants which are strictly associated with the natural beliefs of the deities resided and protected the grove. Each species has its own uniqueness including the resting place of the deity resided, an indicator of disaster, saviour of the place etc. These plants are strictly restricted from being cutting any branches and even felling. Besides these, the other tree species growing in the sacred groves are also strictly prohibited from felling down. Therefore the totem trees of the sacred groves play a significant role in the conservation of plant species and maintenance of the biodiversity in the region.

    Popular Beliefs and Superstitions in Meiteis

    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Modern Education (IJMRME) ISSN (Online): 2454 - 6119 (www.rdmodernresearch.org) Volume II, Issue I, 2016 POPULAR BELIEFS AND SUPERSTITIONS IN MEITEIS SOCIETY Khongbantabam Naobi Devi Research Scholar, Department of English, Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai, Tamilnadu Abstract: The Meiteis perform a number of social and traditional practices since olden days that are mostly based on beliefs, customs and superstitions. The reasons of some practices are inexplicable but some are beliefs have values in imparting some kind of discipline to the people in the form of utilization of agricultural products and other things. The beliefs and superstitions are strongly embedded in the minds of the Meiteis even the modern scientific education cannot succeed in dispelling those beliefs and superstitions. Nevertheless, the rapid urbanization and the continuous blows of modern education through radio, television, newspapers and electronic media are gradually breaking the very foundation of such beliefs and superstitions. Mostly in rural area, there is still environment for survival of such superstitious beliefs and beliefs. This paper is an attempt to bring out some of the beliefs and superstitions performed in the Meiteis society. For the convenience of the discussion, the issue can be discussed under heads, e.g. (a) Beliefs and (b) Superstitions. Introduction: The Meiteis perform a number of social and traditional practices since olden days that are mostly based on beliefs, customs and superstitions. The reasons of some practices are inexplicable but some are beliefs have values in imparting some kind of discipline to the people in the form of utilization of agricultural products and other things.
  • The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat

    The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat

    179 The Ashkenazi Custom Not to Slaughter Geese in Tevet and Shevat By: ZVI RON The notes of R. Moshe Isserles supplement the Shulhaṇ Arukh by bringing the rulings and customs of Ashkenazi authorities. Scattered throughout his comments are references to various folkloric practices. These include the idea that placing the keys of the synagogue under a sick person’s head will cause them to pass away (Yoreh De‘ah 339:1),1 that blessing two grooms at once can bring on the evil eye (Even Haezer 62:3),2 and that a person can tell if they will survive the upcoming year by checking their shadow in the moonlight on Hoshana Rabbah (Orakh Hayyiṃ 664:1).3 In this article we will trace the origin of one such custom which is virtually forgotten today. R. Judah ha-Hasiḍ of Regensberg (1140–1217), a leading figure among the German Pietists (Hasideị Ashkenaz), is named as the source of an unusual Ashkenazi custom regarding the slaughter of geese. R. Moshe Isserles in his commentary to the Tur (Darkei Moshe, Yoreh De‘ah 11:2) notes that he found in the name of R. Judah ha-Hassiḍ that some slaugh- terers are careful not to slaughter geese during the month of Shevat. This is based on a tradition that whoever slaughters a goose during a particular hour in this month would die within the year. Since the precise hour is not known, slaughtering geese is avoided during the entire month. This is the reason people are careful not to eat geese during Shevat, lest they come to slaughter a goose during the dangerous hour.

    Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions Since 1990

    Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions Since 1990 This book examines contemporary artistic practices since 1990 that engage with, depict, and conceptualise history. Examining artworks by Kader Attia, Yael Bartana, Zarina Bhimji, Michael Blum, Matthew Buckingham, Tacita Dean, Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica, Omer Fast, Andrea Geyer, Liam Gillick and Philippe Parreno, Hiwa K, Amar Kanwar, Bouchra Khalili, Deimantas Narkevičius, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Walid Raad, Dierk Schmidt, Erika Tan, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Art, History, and Anachronic Interventions since 1990 undertakes a thorough methodological reexamination of the contribution of art to history writing and to its theoretical foundations. The analytical instrument of anachrony comes to the fore as an experimental method, as will (para)fic- tion, counterfactual history, testimonies, ghosts and spectres of the past, utopia, and the “juridification” of history. Eva Kernbauer argues that contemporary art—developing its own conceptual approaches to temporality and to historical research—offers fruitful strategies for creating historical consciousness and perspectives for political agency. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, historiography, and contemporary art. Eva Kernbauer is Chair of Art History at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna.

    doi: 10.31674/ijrtbt.2021.v05i01.007 IJRTBT PANDEMIC AND ITS IMPACT ON TRADITIONAL DOLL SELLERS OF IMA MARKET: A CASE STUDY Sophia Lisam Centre for the Study of Social Systems, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India *Corresponding Author's Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This qualitative research study illustrates the relationship between ongoing pandemic crisis and the economic impact on a small section of women of Ima market, Manipur, whose livelihood depends on making and selling of traditional dolls of the Meiteis, known as laiphadibi. In many significant ways, laiphadibi is also a socio-cultural element of Meitei society. In this particular study, the participants are all women as the laiphadibi making, selling, and playing is culturally conditioned as roles of women in Meitei society since antiquities. This case study is based on unstructured interviews and conversation analysis of four women who were engaged in traditional doll business in Ima Market before COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate that the shutdown of Ima Market for more than seven months due to pandemic crisis-related lockdown adversely affected their livelihood. The art of laiphadibi making is already on the verge of losing as only a small section of women engages in this business in present-day Meitei society, and Ima Market is their primary point of business. Furthermore, the pandemic ensued lockdown paused their livelihood as they cannot sell laiphadibis in conventional shops as dolls are not included as essential items according to the guidelines of the Government. Therefore, at this critical juncture, it is crucial to analyse the discourses on the future of this socially and culturally significant artefact and the livelihood of those women engaged in this business.

    Courtship, Marriage, Consent and Violence Against Women in the Meitei Society a Feminist Viewpoint

    Courtship, Marriage, Consent and Violence against Women in the Meitei Society A Feminist Viewpoint Shanthalembi Lisham* Abstract: The emotive vocabulary woven by the mothers of Meitei society in their voices against the state violence on the female body is substantially effective in highlighting the violence against women by the state forces. The other side of the story is the disturbing trend of the recurrent cases of violence against women particularly rape, betrayal and killing of young girls and women in Meitei society which are evident in the local dailies and reports on crime against women. The paper seeks to nuance the expressions of violence against women in the tradition of “koiba” and “chenba” by employing the Bourdieusian concept of habitus and feminist criticism on its limits. Key Terms: Violence against Women │ Status of Women │ Love, Courtship & Marriage │ Meitei Society │ Feminist *Shanthalembi Lisham is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work, Assam Don Bosco University, Guwahati and can be contacted at [email protected] Introduction reports of the local dailies.
