    OBITUARY Bravo Raja Sahib (1923-2010)

    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. After completing his MBBS in 1948 from KEMC he did his house job with Prof.

India is known for its rich cultural heritage has harnessed the energy of theatrical forms since the inception of its civilization. A rich cultural heritage of almost 3000 years has been the nurturing ground for Theatre and its Folk forms. Emerging after Greek and Roman theatre, Sanskrit theatre closely associated with primordial rituals, is the earliest form of Indian Theatre. Ascribed to Bharat Muni, ‘Natya Sastra or Natyashastra’2 is considered to be the initial and most elaborate treatise on dramaturgy and art of theatre in the world. It gives the detailed account of Indian theatre’s divine origin and expounds Rasa. This text becomes the basis of the classical Sanskrit theatre in India. Sanskrit Theatre was nourished by pre-eminent play-wrights like Bhasa, Kalidasa, Shudraka, Vishakadatta, Bhavabhuti and Harsha.3 This body of works which were sophisticated in its form and thematic content can be equaled in its range and influence with the dramatic yield of other prosperous theatre traditions of the world like ancient Greek theatre and Elizabethan theatre.

    International Journal of Social Science and Economic Research ISSN: 2455-8834 Volume:04, Issue:01 "January 2019" POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE BRITISH AND THE MANIPURI RESPONSES TO IT IN 1891 WAR Yumkhaibam Shyam Singh Associate Professor, Department of History Imphal College, Imphal, India ABSTRACT The kingdom of Manipur, now a state of India, neighbouring with Burma was occupied by the Burmese in 1819. The ruling family of Manipur, therefore, took shelter in the kingdom of Cachar (now in Assam) which shared border with British India. 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.

    Folk Theatre in India: Role, Needs and Challenges

    Wor ld Wide Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development WWJMRD 2015; 2(9): 49-51 www.wwjmrd.com Impact Factor MJIF: 4.25 e-ISSN: 2454-6615 Folk Theatre in India: Role, Needs and Challenges Deepak Kumar Deepak Kumar M.A. English, UGC-NET, Panjab University, Abstract Chandigarh, India Folk theatre in the past was instrumental in channelizing newer ideas among the rural masses in their native languages. The ideals of freedom, messages of reform as against child marriage, favouring widow remarriage and girl education were reached out to masses via theater. Even Indian values as truth, sacrifice and love were disseminated via this mode. People in villages, today, do not feel attracted towards folk theatre and it has become an archaic entity representing a dead culture. The present research paper aims to study and examine the reasons for stagnancy in Indian Folk theatre, with relevant examples from folk theatres of some states. It shall suggest the changes that must be incorporated to make this form of art more acceptable, dynamic and progressive. Keywords: Folk, Native, Truth, Sacrifice, Love, Education, Culture, Remarriage, Theatre, Progressive. Introduction Folk theatre has played a great role in infotainment in the past but failed in the present because it did not re-invent itself. It did not modernize its subject unlike its urban counterpart. People also want something besides tales of demons, gods and queens. Any dynamic and progressive change is readily accepted by the society, while static entities are bound to fail in long run. The present research paper traces historical influence of folk theatre on masses and present times with relevant examples from folk theatres of some states, and examines the reasons for stagnancy in present Indian Folk theatre,.
