Website: www.thecho.in Manipuri Queens in the Royal House of Tripura: A Historical Study Memchaton Singha Asst. Prof., Dept. of History, Rabindra Sadan Girls‘ College, Karimganj, Assam Abstract Manipur and Tripura are two important states of North east India with a long glorious history of their own. Both the states maintained cordial relationship from the very early period despite regular intervals of conflicts. Marriage alliances between the royal families of Manipur and Tripura were common which began from remote antiquity and continued till 20th century. The instance of first marriage alliance between Manipur and Tripura is recorded to be occurred during the reign of Tripuri king Taidakshin around 5th century A.D. However, the most notable cases of matrimonial alliances between Manipur and Tripura started towards the end of 18th century. The Rajas of Tripura married not only Manipuri princesses but also many Manipuri girls belonging to plebeian family. Among them many girls were inhabitants of Tripura who came during the Burmese invasion of Manipur. The marriage alliances not only brought cordial relations between the two kingdoms but also there was cultural assimilation. The tradition of marrying Manipuri girls were even followed by many noblemen of the Tripura royal family. Tripura also witnessed various public welfare works that was contributed by the Manipuri Maharanis. Thus, we find that the Tripura royal house was filled with descendents from the Manipuri queens. The present state of Manipur and Tripura are the native kingdom of Tripura also merged situated in the North Eastern part of India. with the Indian Republic in 1949. Thus, Manipur is geographically bounded by geographically it is only a portion of Assam Nagaland in the North, Mizoram in the that stands between Manipur and Tripura.

    OBITUARY Bravo Raja Sahib (1923-2010) On Friday May 7th 2010 Raja Mumtaz Quli Khan passed away peacefully at his home in Lahore. Physically debilitated but mentally active and alert till his death. His death is most acutely felt by his family but poignantly experienced by all with whom he was associated as he was deeply admired by his students, patients, colleagues and friends. In him we have lost a giant in ophthalmology and the father of Ophthalmological Society of Pakistan. His sad demise marks the end of an era. It is difficult to adequately document and narrate the characteristics and qualities which made him such a dedicated teacher, organizer and most of all a great friend known as Raja Sahib to all of us. He was an inspiration to his colleagues, to his students and children of his students who ultimately became his students. Raja Sahib was born in a wealthy, land owning family in a remote village of Gadari near Jehlum on July 16th 1923. He went to a local school which was a few miles from his village and he used to walk to school as there were no roads in that area, although with his personal effort and influence he got a road built but many years after leaving school when he had become Raja Sahib. Did metric in 1938 and B.Sc. form F.C College Lahore in 1943 and joined Galancy Medical College Amritser (Pre- partition) and after creation of Pakistan joined K.E. Medical College Lahore.

  • Bru-Reang-Final Report 23:5
    Devising Pathways for Appropriate Repatriation of Children of Bru-Reang Community Ms. Stuti Kacker (IAS) Chairperson National Commission for Protection of Child Rights The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) emphasizes the principle of universality and inviolability of child rights and recognises the tone of urgency in all the child related policies of the country. It believes that it is only in building a larger atmosphere in favour of protection of children’s rights, that children who are targeted become visible and gain confidence to access their entitlements. Displaced from their native state of Mizoram, Bru community has been staying in the make-shift camps located in North Tripura district since 1997 and they have faced immense hardship over these past two decades. Hence, it becomes imperative for the National Commission of Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to ensure that the legal and constitutional rights of children of this community are protected. For the same purpose, NCPCR collaborated with QCI to conduct a study to understand the living conditions in the camps of these children and devise a pathway for the repatriation and rehabilitation of Bru-Reang tribe to Mizoram. I would like to thank Quality Council of India for carrying out the study effectively and comprehensively. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Nirbhay Sharma, Mr. Mahesh Singla, IPS, Advisor (North-East), Ministry of Home Affairs, Ms. Saumya Gupta, IAS, Director of Education, Delhi Government (Ex.

  • Food Security in North-East Region of India — a State-Wise Analysis
    Agricultural Economics Research Review Vol. 28 (Conference Number) 2015 pp 259-266 DOI: 10.5958/0974-0279.2015.00041.5 Food Security in North-East Region of India — A State-wise Analysis A. Roy*, N.U. Singh, D.S. Dkhar, A.K. Mohanty, S.B. Singh and A.K. Tripathi ICAR Research Complex for North-Eastern Hill Region, Umiam - 793 103, Meghalaya Abstract With the adoption of high-yielding varieties of paddy, the foodgrains production has increased in North- East region of India. To estimate the growth performance of agriculture, time series data on area, production and productivity of foodgrains have been analysed for the period 1972-73 to 2011-12, which was divided into three decades, viz. 1982-83 to 1991-92 (I decade), 1992-93 to 2001-02 (II decade), 2002-03 to 2011- 12 (III decade) and overall period 1972-73 to 2011-12. During the overall period, among the states, Nagaland registered the highest significant growth in area, production and yield, followed by Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. All the NE states have shown positive growth rates in area, production and yield increase. The decomposition analysis of growth has suggested that sources of output growth were almost same in all the periods. During the first decade, the major contribution in the change of foodgrain production in the region was of area effect (74.8%), followed by yield effect (22.8%), whereas in all-India, the yield effect was 71 per cent. During the second period, the region had almost half sharer (50.3%) of area effect in food security, followed by yield effect (42.7%).

As the Burmese also occupied the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam and the Cachar Kingdom threatening the British India, the latter declared war against Burma in 1824. The Manipuris, under Gambhir Singh, agreed terms with the British and fought the war on the latter’s side. The British also established the Manipur Levy to wage the war and defend against the Burmese aggression thereafter. In the war (1824-1826), the Burmese were defeated and the kingdom of Manipur was re-established. But the British, conceptualizing political economy, ceded the Kabaw Valley of Manipur to Burma. This delicate issue, coupled with other haughty British acts towards Manipur, precipitated to the Anglo- Manipur War of 1891. In the beginning of the conflict when the British attacked the Manipuris on 24th March, 1891, the latter defeated them resulting in the killing of many British Officers. But on April 4, 1891, the Manipuris released 51 Hindustani/Gurkha sepoys of the British Army who were war prisoners then giving Rupees five each. Another important feature of the war was the involvement of almost all the major communities of Manipur showing their oneness against the colonial British Government.

Dharmen Singh* Abstract Manipur is well known for its archaeological sites and remains.

Among the remains, temples and tombs are considered as the most important monuments of religious architecture. The most important example of religious architecture is the temple of Shri Shri Govindaji, Imphal West, Temple of Lord Hanuman, Imphal east, etc. Staunch and devout Hindu rulers with their patronages helped to build a large number of temples and tombs in each and every parts of the state. However, architecture differs greatly from culture to culture. Generally, a temple or tomb was built on a raised platform with flight of steps in front. Its plan is square, sometimes rectangular.

The sanctum is preceded by a porch and mandapa or hall for the congregation of worshipper and devotees.
