PUNE, India – The Indian heat is searing in the gym when the power goes out.

A physio hurries over with an emergency lamp and boxing star MC Mary Kom resumes battering the punchbag.

It’s hardly an ideal training session for an Olympic hopeful, but then glory never came easily for Kom.

From her beginnings as a poor farmers’ daughter in a remote and troubled corner of India, “Magnificent Mary” has fought her way up to become five-times world boxing champion.

The mum-of-two is now tipped as her country’s best bet to win gold at London 2012 – a position few could envisage when she began learning to box.

“People were discouraging me, saying in India there are not women boxers. That was my first challenge. I took the challenge, I had to prove myself,”

she told AFP in Pune, the western Indian city where she is currently training.

Kom – full name Mangte Chungneijang Merykom – was born 29 years ago in the northeastern state of Manipur, the eldest of four to parents who struggled to support their family through working on the fields.

Mary Kom from Manipur says " I am at my best "

India’s five-time world champion, M C Mary Kom, said a podium finish in the London 2012 Olympic Games would give her the freedom to leave the ring on a high.

The 29-year-old Manipuri, who is a living legend in women’s boxing and nicknamed ‘Magnificent Mary’ by the International body, leaves for the World Championships in Qinhuangdao, China, starting May 9.

Women’s boxing makes its debut at the Olympics in London this July in three weight categories — 51kg, 60kg and 75kg — giving Mary Kom a chance to add a title that would complete her decorated cupboard.

I am at my best right now and Olympic is my biggest dream. If I win a medal there, it will set me free as far as my future is concerned. I might continue or might decide to go –Mary Kom said ahead of the 10-member team’s departure on Tuesday.

Esha Roy : Imphal, Mon May 07 2012, 00:26 hrs

In one of the first such collaborations between the two very similar cultures, Manipuris and Thais, Manipur University will now teach English to Thai students. More projects are on the agenda as the universities of Manipur and Thailand are set to collaborate on a number of matters.

“On our visit to Thai universities last year, they discussed with us a need for their students to learn English. Despite having such a strong tourism industry, the Thais are very weak in English. Their primary aim is that the students be conversant in English so that they are able to deal with the increasing number of international tourists,” says Prof Amar Yumnam, Dean of Social Studies at Manipur University. He was part of the delegation that visited Thailand.

Prof Yumnam points out that Thai students start learning English, if at all, only after Class XII.

Dean of Students Welfare and English professor in charge of the project, Professor Ratan says the project will begin in this academic session starting in July. Nearly 40-50 students are likely to come for the first certificate course. “We are keeping the number limited since this is just a certificate course. We will look at an expansion only once this course is successful,” says Prof Ratan.

Manipur University signed an MoU with Surindra Rajabhat University in the Surin province of Thailand last year.

Bangalore, May 9, 2012: The Hindu

He(Narasingh, Former Minister, Manipur and CPI state secretary, Manipur ) submits memorandum to Chief Minister on behalf of student’s father

Loitam Rajeshkumar, the father of Manipuri student Richard Loitam, who died on April 17 under mysterious circumstances in Bangalore, has appealed to the Karnataka government to order a CBI probe into the matter and arrest the culprits.

A memorandum in this regard was submitted to Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Monday through M. Narasingh, the former Art and Culture Minister of Manipur.

A student of Acharya’s NRV School of Architecture, 19-year-old Richard died in his sleep on April 17.

While Richard’s family and friends alleged that he was beaten to death by two of his seniors, the police have maintained that the boy died of injuries he sustained in a road accident two days before his death, and registered a case of unnatural death. However, following public outcry and an opinion among forensic experts that the boy could have been beaten to death by more than two students (based on the nature of wounds sustained), the police have now registered a case of murder. However, no arrests have been made.

By: Wangkhemcha Chingtamlen

In order to appreciate the early civilization of Kangleipak, we, in the 21st century, may compare the modern scientific findings of the western world with those written in the puya in the matters in consideration.

The Big Bang Theory of the Origin of the Universe.

Regarding this theory, the Britonnica Ready Reference Encyclopedia says: “Model of the origin of the Universe, which holds that it emerged from a state of extremely high temperature and density in an explosive expansion 10 billions – 15 billions years ago”.

In the background of this Big Bang theory of the very late AD, now we discover what is written in the Kanglei Puya as “Eepungloi Apakpana Mathannata Leipa Yatatuna Haina Hummakpaki Hung | Hung | Ki Eewai Eeninna Niksillaktuna Famchillakpata |
Thengnalupa Atupu Laiki Masani Haituna Laisa (Leisa) Haina Koukhipa Atupu Eenungpungtaki Eepungloinapa Apakpana Fukkhat Chingkhat Thangkhatlakpata Loinalakpa | Amati Laisapu Thengnapataki Thoklakpa Kampi | Laicha | Malangpa
Haina Koukhipa | Laipungthou Taletki Laiming Thontuna Eemai Faokhipa | Eemai Atupu Laiki Khuttamni – Lai Malle Haituna Malem Haina Koukhipa |”

What has been written in the Puya is the beginning of the creation of the Universe by the Universal God Father what the Ancient Kangleichas called Eepungloi Apakpa or Eepung Loinapa Apakpa, who is indeterminate whole Entity composed of all bloods of all living beings.
