Meiteis & Meiteilon never been Tibeto-Burman : Never mind the guess work

The joy of Independence Day permeated all over Manipur on August 14 1947. I was there. But, Manipur had an Achilles Heel, the Manipur State Congress. Another fatal weakness for the superficial was the inherent silliness of the premise that Meiteis and Meiteilon are Tibeto-Burman.
The aesthetic offence of the 1950’s educational revolution, seduced by Grierson, was to dupe young Meiteis into believing something that is not true.

A few days back the Union minister of Women and Child Development, Manekaji suggested legalization of Ganja (marijuana) for medical purposes. She made her suggestion in a meeting of a group of ministers (GOM) on drugs demand reduction policy. The GOM was chaired by Rajnathji Union Home minister (wishing him a quick recuperation from fracture). If I remember correctly the NITI Aayog Member Bibek Debroy also made a similar proposal a few months ago. His argument was more on economics rather than medicinal.

Cows’ rights vs women & children’s rights in India

A Joint Action Committee against Denial of Rights to Other Animals (Manipur wing) was recently formed under the leadership of Pigchandra, a renowned activist who fights for the cause of pigs. He pleaded “Pigs should also be protected under a strict legislation. Pork and beef are equally consumed by Indians but it is a discriminatory act of the government to only consider about the safety of etao cow. Beef and pork have greater consumption percentage in the Northeastern region. If so, why can’t they protect us with an appropriate legislation? “
