World’s oldest Parliamentarian

Rishang Keishing, who expired in Imphal on 22 August, at the age of 98, was elected to India’s first Parliament in 1952. He entered politics without any political background — he was a former school headmaster. He contested the elections on a Socialist Party ticket, lured by the voice of stalwarts like Ram Manohar Lohia and others.

Tete a tete with the Education Minister

The misconception that the public bears towards our elected representatives is basically skewed and filled with skepticisms as such we tend to revile and denounce them with blankets of accusation after pinching them off every penny they had earned during elections; and deriding them for all the evils that has befallen the state. Well it’s one example of the pot calling the kettle black.

Wars happen when intolerance reaches epic proportions; when the reasons for war become greater than the sanctity of peace. Wars happen when we fail to realize the value of being alive. World leaders try to bring peace, but it is not an issue of institutions. It is human being who starts war. Before a war begins outside, it starts inside.
