2001 Asia Harvest Newsletters
Asia Harvest Swing the Sickle for the Harvest is Ripe! (Joel 3:13) Box 17 - Chang Klan P.O. - Chiang Mai 50101 - THAILAND Tel: (66-53) 801-487 Fax: (66-53) 800-665 Email: [email protected] Web: www.antioch.com.sg/mission/asianmo April 2001 - Newsletter #61 China’s Neglected Minorities Asia Harvest 2 May 2001 FrFromom thethe FrFrontont LinesLines with Paul and Joy In the last issue of our newsletter we introduced you to our new name, Asia Harvest. This issue we introduce you to our new style of newsletter. We believe a large part of our ministry is to profile and present unreached people groups to Christians around the world. Thanks to the Lord, we have seen and heard of thousands of Christians praying for these needy groups, and efforts have been made by many ministries to take the Gospel to those who have never heard it before. Often we handed to our printer excellent and visually powerful color pictures of minority people, only to be disappointed when the completed newsletter came back in black and white, losing the impact it had in color. A few months ago we asked our printer, just out of curiosity, how much more it would cost if our newsletter was all in full color. We were shocked to find the differences were minimal! In fact, it costs just a few cents more to print in color than in black and white! For this reason we plan to produce our newsletters in color. Hopefully the visual difference will help generate even more prayer and interest in the unreached peoples of Asia! Please look through the pictures in this issue and see the differ- ence color makes. -

The complexities within varying paradigms, that seek to determine the significance of ideologies and the hegemony that is often associated with the same, convey truly that the old must seek to coexist, in more ways than one with the new. The contentions, keenly raised within the pages of the journal seek to establish too, that a dual notion of cultural hybridity that is so often particular to almost every community has sought too, to establish a voice. Voices that may be deemed ‘minority’ undoubtedly, yet expressed in tones that are decidedly -

Contesting Militarized Violence in “Northeast India” Women Poets Against Conflict
ESSAY Brinda J. Mehta ......................................................................................... Contesting Militarized Violence in “Northeast India” Women Poets against Conflict Abstract: The northeastern states of India have been positioned as India’s postcolonial other in mainstream politics with the aim to create xenopho- bic binaries between insider and outsider groups. Comprising the eight “sister” states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura, this region represents India’s amorphous shadowlands in arbitrary political markings between the main- land and the off-centered northeastern periphery. These satellite states have been subjected to the neocolonial governance of the Indian govern- ment and its implementation of political terror through abusive laws, mili- tarized violence, protracted wars against civilians and insurgents alike, and gender abuse. Women poets from the region, such as Monalisa Changkija, Temsüla Ao, Mamang Dai, and others, have played a leading role in expos- ing and denouncing this violence. This essay examines the importance of women’s poetry as a gendered documentation of conflict, a peace narrative, a poet’s reading of history, and a site of memory. Can poetry express the particularized “sorrow of women” (Mamang Dai) without sentimentality and concession? How do these poetic contestations of conflict represent complex interrogations of identity, eco-devastation, and militarization to invalidate an elitist “poetry for poetry’ssake” ethic? ............

These people in rural villages are still more or less dependent on herbal medicines in this age of modernization also for overcoming various diseases. A field survey was conducted in the year 2010 and 2011 using field schedules and interview was taken from randomly selected 35 respondents who are practicing ethnomedicinal treatments. An informant consensus factor (FIC) was derived to determine the homogeneity of respondent’s knowledge on various reported ethnomedicinal plants. The study revealed 26 plant species belonging to 18 families used for treating various human ailments. The most common medicinal plants belong to shrubs (46%) followed by trees (35%) and herbs (19%). In most of the cases the leaves are used as medicines. However, roots, barks, stems and sometimes the whole parts of plants are also used as ethnomedicines. The respondents have good knowledge of the medicinal plants as revealed by the consensus analysis. -

Eco-Sensitivity in Nilim Kumar's Poetry
Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 7 ~ Issue 4 (2019)pp.:29-33 ISSN(Online):2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Eco-sensitivity in Nilim Kumar’s poetry Dr Bhubaneswar Deka Associate Professor & Head, Department of English, Pandu College Guwahati, Assam (Affiliated to Gauhati University, India) ABSTRACT: The present review aims to offer a reading of the poetry of Nilim Kumar (1961), one of the most admired contemporary poets of Assamese literature, India, selecting some poems from his last anthology Nilim Kumaror Nirbachta Kobita (Selected poems of Nilim Kumar, 2017), focusing on eco-sensitivity in his representations of birds, animals, reptiles and natural phenomena. An ecocritical reading of his poetry definitely shows various questions of ecological interconnectedness and environmentalism. This critique also provides an idea of Nilim Kumar’s poetic technique as he mostly builds his nature texts with implications of metaphorical as well as magical narrative. Widely acclaimed as poet of socio-cultural concerns, love, humanity, his poems have been translated into several languages of the world including English, Germany, French, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannad, Nepali etc. A winner of Indian awards like Uday Bharati National Award (1991), the Raza Foundation Award (2004) and the Shabda Award (2010), his anthologies of poems include Aachinaar Ashukh (Illness of Achina, 1985), Barikonwar (Gypsy boy, 1990), Panit Dhou, Dhoubor Mach (Waves in water, Waves are fish, 1990), Swapnar -
