Nevertheless, using through sound demographical tools, a technical team can highlight the real picture through their endeavours. Among the indirect methods, Survival Analysis using Life Table technique is more scientific and gives better yield. However this method demands more detail information and needs very expert hands dealing with more sound demographic tools.

We could see many old age home because elders are not able to stay with their grown up kids for various reasons. There are instances where many elders stay on the road side without house like homeless people. The problem with elders could be seen in many places whether in India or in other developed countries.

Decoding violence : The non-Bermuda triangle of law, representation and democracy

In the wake of the ILP related protests at various parts of Manipur, irrespective of the hill valley dichotomization of politics and applying it to all people’s movement, there are some thoughts we could have a serious look at. One of the most important thought is to see through the stupidity of a movement led by leadership and organization based politics.

ILPS for valley, 6th Schedule for tribals

Manipur, once called the “Jewel of India”, has sadly often been in the news more for bad reasons than good. The protest movements for and against the 3 bills – the Protection of Manipur People Bill, 2015 (PMP Bill), the Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2015, and the Manipur Shops and Establishments (Second Amendment) Bill, 2015 – passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on 31 August 2015 has literally thrown the state into turmoil and increased hill-valley divide.

In the afternoon, people organize entertainment programme in which there is a Duidom Phaimei (throwing of the water put in a plantain leaf container) among the boys and girls (Tuna Gaan) followed by Loijaimei, tug of war between boys and girls, males and females as a symbolic representation of competition between gods and goddesses for possessing the paddy. It is usually performed at the Danshanpung (village jumping ground) and girls ritually win the game, for there would be good yield in the year. The presence of rice deity is well attested in Asia where it is the staple crop. The rice deity is normally female, and to this Northeast is no exception.

What are tonsils?
The tonsils (palatine tonsils) are a pair of lymphoid tissue collection in the throat, one on each side of the root of the tongue. Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system, which helps to fight infections. They act as filters, trapping and killing germs that could otherwise enter our airways and cause infection.

It is indeed very unfortunate that a welcome enactment of laws for protection of indigenous people of Manipur has turned out to be so fiercely contentions an issue that the very foundation of the state has been shaken.
