Describe culture in 100 words. Nothing wrong in this, but when this question comes from the Governor of a State and is directed to an august gathering of cultural doyens, then there is something drastically wrong. And this exactly what happened when former Governor of Manipur V Shanmuganathan posed this very question to well known personalities of the State while inaugurating the University of Culture and Manipur State Film and Television Institute on August 12.

(contd from previous issue)
My prosaic translation from Bangla is:
Previously in Manipur, the Sanskrit language was highly coveted, and the nagarakshar/devanagri script was used. But, after Goswamis of Nabadvip became their mantra gurus, the Bengali language and the script began to be preferred by the people there. However, this has not resulted in the complete disappearance of devanagri. Manipuris who are well versed in Hindu dharmahastra have great respect for Srimadbhagavat and other Veishnav texts.
