The Prime Minister of India had just made an official visit to Manipur on the 4th Jan 2019.
The Prime Minister inaugurated 8(4+4) development projects.
He also laid the foundation stones for another 4 new developmental projects.
So,the crucial number is 4.
To try to understand the meaning of this crucial number let's have a re-look at a particular para of my post(13th Dec 2018):
-------
Now comes the crucial recollection of a moment some 50 days ago.I vividly remember the moment.It was the night after the shooting down of the State Secy of BJP in Jammu and Kashmir.The Prime Minister was on All India Radio telling us that his govt is guaranteeing clearance of MSME sector loans in just 59 minutes.Noting the shooting down of the J&K BJP leader the previous day,I immediately suspected that the Prime Minister was speaking on a coded message.I thought for a moment and then came to the conclusion that he was referring to the 6th month,June and the date,10--I simply added 1 to both 5 and 9.I then thought that the Prime Minster was talking of avenging the shooting down of J&K BJP leader on the 10th June 2019.Wow,how he spoke in a code,I thought.
Now,I have to re-work my decoding.
1 minute less an hour is 59.(Note that 59 minutes by the Prime Minister).
1 day less a month is either 29 or 30.
Now,the crucial point--
1 unit less a dozen is 11.
-------
Going by the above method of decoding,the number 4 for the month of January 2019 signifies either 9th or the 23rd of the month.We come to the 9th of January if we start the decoding from the beginning of the month and 23rd,from the end of the month.
Personally. I'll bet for the 9th of January 2019.
The reason is that the date 9th of January is the day the Manipur king Chinglen Nongdren Khomba(Gambhir Singh) passed away on the way back from a military expedition to Burma.And New Lazang is everything to do with Burma.
It must also be noted here that before coming to Imphal the Prime Minister inaugurated the 106th Indian Science Congress in Punjab.We have to remember here that this 'Kurukshetra stuff' all began with the 105th Indian Science Congress in Imphal.
I'll now reproduce a portion of my post(31st March,2018) dealing with this topic:
------
....we will be hugely rewarded if we remember that the Prime Minister of India himself was in Imphal on the 16th of March 2018 for something connected with 100 and 5.
It would be easy for anybody to remember that 100 signifies the Kouravas and 5,the Pandavas.
....The Prime Minsiter of India,the Kouravas and the Pandavas--what a significant co-relation!
------
So,by inaugurating the 106th Indian Science Congress just a day before his Manipur visit,the Prime Minister reiterated that this 'Kurushetra stuff' is alive and kicking.
Going by this lead,should we expect the 3rd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra at New Lazang on the 9th of January 2019?
One last thing--I'm not certain of this but I'm just musing.
Is it feasible to keep a tab on areas around New Lazang on the 9th January by using Google Earth?
UPDATE-1
13-1-2019
3:39 pm
So,what did they do on the 9th January 2019?
India's Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary affairs scheduled the Budget Session from the 31st of January to the 3rd of February 2019.The interim budget is to be presented on the 1st of February.
In other words,they had re-scheduled the date of the 3rd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra.
What is the reason behind this assertion?
If we look back at my last post,it will be clear that the 2nd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra was on the 11th December 2018.It is the day the Winter Session of India's parliament commemced.It seems that they want to send out the message that this war is by the people owing allegiance to the doctrine of Democracy.Thus,it stands to reason that the 3rd battle should also re-state this message.
Before going further,it will make our perspective more lucid if we go some days back from the day they announced the new schedule.
On the 8th January 2019,another official of Huawei was arrested in Poland.We have to remember here that it all started with the arrest of Ms Meng Wanzhou,CFO,Huawei, on the ist December 2018.(My last post).
On the 8th January 2019, the lower house of India's Parliament passed the Citizenship amendment Bill.
On the 10th January 2019, India's Chief of Army Staff met the Press as his annual Meet the Press programme.During the Press Meet,he talked,among other things,about cross-border threats and India's response to them.
Earler,on the 4th January 2019,during his second stop-over at Silchar(after Imphal),the Prime Minister of India had publicly announced that the Citizenship Amendment Bill would be passed by the Parliament.We have to remind ourselves here the significance of the number 4.The announcement was made on the 4th and the Bill was actually passed by the lower house of the Parliament on the 8th(4+4).We have already discussed the significance of the number,4,in the main body of this post.
Coming upto this point,we must not fail to put up another assertion.The 2nd War of Kurukshetra is not a limited scale assault on the rebel hideouts along New Lazang sector of Manipur Burma border.By now it's clear that the 2nd War of Kurukshetra is the full scale assault on all things associated with the narrative of 'indigenous'.The social upheaval(against the Citizenship Amendment Bill) we have been witnessing right across the NE Region bear testimony to our assertion.
Now,we come to the crux of the problem.Should we try our hands on another decoding exercise using the newly available numbers,namely,31,1,2 and 3?Here,we have come face to face with 4 numbers--again.Ah!The significance of the number,4!!
Let's strike out the number,1,because they are going to present the interim buget on the 1st day of February.
Now,we are left with three numbers,namely,31,2 and 3.
We know 31 is the last day January 2019.So,what's the last day of February of the same year?No effort here--it's the 28th.Now,we have the 28th of February 2019 as our new number.Then,what we make of the remaining numbers, 2 and 3?
For my part,I add up the two numbers and come to another new number,5.Then I go backwards from the 28th February upto the fifth spot.Doing so,we come to our newest number,the 24th of February 2019.
We can assert that this new number,namely,the 24th of February 2019,is the magic number we have been looking for.The reson for this assertion is that the number 24 is the one which is clearly associated with the oldest rebel group of Manipur.
Here is the final word.The re-scheduled date for the 3rd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra is the 24th February 2019.
UPDATE-2
20-1-2019
3:22 pm
They had made some changes on the duration of the interim Budget Session.Now,it starts on the 31st January and concludes on the 13th February 2019.
The most notable thing here is that the changes were announced on the 16th January 2019.
we must remind ourselves that the narrative of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra started with the Prime Minister's visit to Imphal on the 16th March 2018 for the 105th National Science Congress.The first post dealing with this narrative was published on the 31st March 2018 .The numbers noted there were 100,5 and 16.The numbers 100 and 5 point to 100 brothers against 5 brothers--the identifying feature of the War of Kurukshetra.The number 16 points to the 16th of October,one of the probable dates of the actual start of the War of Kurukshetra.We need to go back to that particular post to get the full details.
Now,the decoding exercise we did on my first update goes haywire.We need to do it all over again.
As we had done on the first decoding,let's strike out 1st February as they are still presenting the interim Budget on this particular day.Doing this we get the number 12(13-1).
We have another new number--16.The 16th October,the probable date of the commencement of the original War of Kurukshetra,which was hinted at by the 16th January 2019 announcement.
Adding the numbers,12 and 16,we get the number 28.
The crucial month associated with our number 16 is October.So,starting from October we must reach February.Doing so,we get our newest number--5.
As we had done on our first decoding,we now go backwards from the number 28 upto the 5th spot.Doing so,we again come face to face with our magic number--24.
So,in my scheme of things,24th February 2019 is still the D-day for the 3rd battle of the 2nd war of Kurukshetra.
UPDATE-3
24-1-2019
12:13 pm
I'm reproducing the whole report from Newsonair regarding the Government of India's Cabinet decision of 23rd Jan 2019.
-----
Cabinet has approved the landmark amendment to Article 280 of the Constitution to increase powers of Autonomous Councils in Sixth Schedule areas of North East.
The proposed amendment will give more powers to Autonomous District Councils of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura.
State Finance Commissions will be set up in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Territorial Council and Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council.
Finance Commission will recommend devolution of financial resources to ten Autonomous District Councils, and village and municipal councils in Sixth Schedule areas.
More funds will be given to local government institutions for development works in these tribal areas. The proposed amendments will have elected village and municipal councils ensuring grass root democracy.
The State Election Commissions will hold elections to Autonomous Councils, village and municipal councils in the scheduled areas of Assam, Mizoram and Tripura. One-third of seats will be reserved for women in the village and municipal councils. At least two nominated members in all autonomous councils will be women.
-----
In my mind,this Cabinet decision is the precursor to the announcement of the final settlement of Naga Peace talk.
As the main backbone of the final settlement,they will have several of these newly empowered Autonomous District Councils(by virtue of the application of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India).
If the Nagas have these Autonomous District Councils,another round of several Autonomous District Councils for the Kuki Mizo Chin people is not the question of 'if' but 'when'.
Encircled by those Autonomous District Councils,Manipur as a State will be destroyed.
I also think that this Cabinet decision is another strand of the complex strategy of the Government India's 2nd War of Kurukshetra.
UPDATE-4
24-2-2019
2:11 pm.
We should not fail to note the date on which the Nagas took out the rally in New Delhi demanding the early resolution of the Indo-Naga Peace Talk.The rally was on the 23rd of February--exactly one month after the Government of India's Cabinet decision to increase the powers of the Autonomous District Councils under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution of India.The details regarding the anatomy and portents of the Cabinet decision taken on the 23rd January 2019 are discussed in the last update of this post.
Before going any further we should arm ourselves with the significance of two other game changing dates.
1) The date on whcich the Telengana state was formed under the Article 3 of the Constitution of India.If we remember correctly it was the date on which the Government of India bulldozed the formation of a new State by the application of the Article 3 of the Constitution of India.The Telengana State was forcibly formed against the overall resistance of the people of Andhra Pradesh.The Date is 2nd of June 2014.
2) The date on which the Governemnt of India signed the Framework Agreement with the NSCN(IM).The date is 3rd August 2015.
After this exercise,we can now proceed further.
The Prime Minister of India,Mr Narendra Modi landed in the South Korean capital in the night of 21st February 2019.While he was in Seoul,the giant Korean tech company,Samsung announced the existence of Galaxy Fold.Samsung was announcing its own foldable phone--the Galaxy Fold.
For us here in the North Eastern part of India,the life threatening news comes up in the next part of the Samsung announcement.Samsung announced that the Galaxy Fold would be available for purchase from 26th April 2019 onwards.
We have another new date--the 26th of April 2019,which I dare to brand as 'life threatening.'
Why?
I'm dealing with the question in the coming paras.But why should we drag in the impeccable global brand,like Samsung into the sordid political machination of the Government of India?The answer to this question is not really hard to find.For one thing,we find that the sordid political machination of the Goernment of India has been somehow entangled with Huawei and its Chief Finance Officer,Ms Meng Wangzhou.And we come to a slow realization that Huawei,not Apple,is going to be the real competitor to Samsung.In this scenario,they might have thought it perfectly aligned with their battle plans for the 2nd War of Kurukshetra to drag in the would-be competitor of Huawei to the battle fields as well.
Now comes the Telengana part of our story.
It might have failed to come to the radar of ordinary newspaper reader because of its sheer ordinary sheen.Some days ago the Election Commision of India had quietly announced the Biennial Election of the Legislative Councils Andhra Pradesh and Telengana Assemblies for the members retiring on the 29th of March 2019.
Now,we have another new date,namely,the 29th March 2019.
So,what to make of our two dates--the 29th March and the 26th of April?
To my mind,they point to either 2nd or 3rd of April 2019.
[I think it is quite confusing for anybody in figuring out how I come to the above two numbers.I should spell out what;s there in my mind while arriving at them.It's quite simple.I wrote down the numbers between 29 end 26 ie 29,28,27,26.Firstly,the difference between 29 and 26 is 2.Secondly,if we think of travelling from 29 to 26,it would take 3 places to reach the goal.We may well get the two numbers 2 and 3 but should we arbitrarily attach the month 'April' to them?I barely think along that line and,to be honest,when I first read Samsung Galaxy Fold news,something inside me told me that there were more in the story than met the eyes--there seemed to be some coded messages in them.Besides that(and more importantly for the way of arriving at the said numbers),we are made to travel from 29 to 26 and that should mean travelling from March to April]
That throws us right into the middle of a big riddle.We can think that 2nd symbolizes the date of partition of Andhra Pradesh(creating Telengana).The 3rd,of course,the signing of the Framework Agreement.If one has to choose between 2nd and 3rd as the date of announcement of the final settlement of Naga Peace Talk.which one is more proper?2nd would definitely symbolize the partition of Manipur.3rd would symbolize the historic stature of the signing of the Framework Agreement.Anybody would be hard pressed to make the agonizing choice.
But,in the context of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra,the Framework Agreement does not count.So,3rd is definitely out.They would be delighted to make the announcement on the 2nd of April 2019.But any descendant of Chanakya worth his salt would never present himself in the world as that brazen.
So,what's likely in their mind?
We can go to an altogether different plane of reasoning.We can safely see ourselves as being presented with 2nd and 3rd of any measurable unit.Now,we can ask ourselves--what's missing in the game?
Of course,the 1st!!
So,would they make the announcement of the final settlement of the Indo-Naga Peace Talk on the 1st of April 2019?
Of course,everybody knows that 1st of April is the Fool's Day.
UPDATE-5
30-03-19
3.05 pm
Imagine introducing your debut product in the market on an April Fool Day!
Yes,a debut product--that too,the one which is supposed to lead the pioneering journey into the world of spatial computing.
We are talking about the spatial computing pioneer,Magic Leap.
(As we are traversing through the numerous updates of this post it should be clear to all that they are playing to the hilt the narrative of the West's technology superiority as exemplified by their tech companies like Samsung.They are playing the game in a playing field populated by Chinese upstarts--doing this,they intend to magnify manifold the visibility of their superiority.At the moment,Magic Leap faces no competition from Chinese tech companies,though Huawei is supposed to come out with their own spatial computing device in this current year.So,in the context of our story,Magic Leap is the poster boy of the West.Personally,I'm excited about the doses of spatial computing hours in my daily computing needs.I'll grab a spatial computing device when the manufacturers achieve a certain level of economies of scale providing common users, like me, an affordable price point).
Magic Leap is introducing their spatial computing device,Magic Leap One to the market on the 1st April 2019.They are stocking the device in another store in second location on the 3rd,then in yet another store on the 6th April.
We should remember here that we are in the business of collecting dates to see if there is any pattern developing amonst them!
So,here we are--1st,3rd and 6th of April 2019.
Yet,we are not done with the task of collecting the dates!
On the 5th April,Samsung is releasing the 5G version of its flagship Galaxy S 10.
Most importantly,on the 25th March 2019,President of the USA,Mr Donald Trump proclaimed that Golan Heights would now be recognized as the rightful territory of Israel.(Golan Heights, a highland captured by Israel during the Sixth Day War,will now be treated by the US as the rightful territory of Israel.Would the fate of Golan Heights befall the highlands of Manipur in the near futures?).Is it a mere coincidence that Mr RN Ravi also landed in Dimapur on the 25th of March for further talks?
For our purpose,we now have final five number of dates--1st,3rd,5th,6th and 25th.
Now,let the game begin!
To my mind,when we talk of Magic Leap's numbers,namely,1,3 and 6,the unsaid items ,namely, 2,4 and 5 are also equally significant.How about making them to come to 22(5x4+2).Now,let's add the openly uttered numbers of dates,namely,3.Then,it comes to 25.
Surprisingly,Magic Leap's numbers suddenly come to that of Donald Trump's.
Surprise!Surprise!!
Let's have a good look at our newly derived number against the backdrop of yet another date--Samsung's date.Samsung's date is 5th April.
Is it 25th day of the 5th month of the year 2019?
So,we have the crucial date--25th May 2019.
We know that the counting of votes of India's parliamentary election begins on the 23rd May.They would have the full result latest by the 24th of May.That means they would have the latest mandate from the India's electorate on the 25th of May.
That would mean that the incumbent Prime Minister would resign if the verdict goes against him.Even if he gets the majority of parliamentary seats,it is a well-established convention to take the government as a caretaker one and he has to tender his resignation to take the oath of prime minsitership for another term.
By the 25th of May,New Delhi would land in a situation whereby no political leader can take any executive or policy decision.
If the final settlement of the Naga Peace talk is announced on the 25th of May 2019,no political leader would be responsible for it.Only a bureaucrat,namely,Mr RN Ravi would be responsible for it.All the political leaders in New Delhi would say that the announcement of final settlement of the Naga Peace talk is the culmination of the due process of the slow grind of the bureaucratic machineries.We have to note here that,right at the moment,Mr RN Ravi is negotiating with the Nagas at a pace which is supposedly dictated by the Indian administration's bureaucratic sloth.
So,is it the 25th May 2019?
UPDATE-6
03-06-2019
2:41 pm
I'm not a constitutional expert.But the normal convention is that before the term of an outgoing parliament ends the incoming parliament should be constituted by appointing a protem speaker and then,the newly elected members of the parliament should be duly sworn in by the newly appointed protem speaker.
The term of the outgoing parliament of India ended on the 2nd June 2019.
So,the question crops up--what is the legal status of the incoming Indian parliament?
More specifically,from the 3rd of June onwards until the 19th of June,when the protem speaker would be appointed,where does the incoming Indian parliament stand?
Can a council of ministers,headed by a prime minister,exist without the incoming parliament duly constituted and its newly elected members duly sworn in by the protem speaker?
To my mind,we are witnessing a bizarre scenario in New Delhi.
Coming to our point,we were betting that the final agreement of the India Government-NSCN(IM) talk might be announced on the 25th May 2019.The main crux of our assertion was that on the 25th of May there would be power vacuum during the transition of the outgoing and the incoming parliaments(my last update).We did have that power vacuum on the 25th of May but the anticipated announcement did not materialize.
But,now, we know that this question remains unanswered--is the parliament of India still in a transition mode?
Last,but not the least,we should not leave behind one important thing.On the 25th and 26th May 2019,the embassy of Tunisia suddenly thought it fit to showcase their cinemas in Imphal.
So,what about Tunisia?
Tunisia is a North African country comprising of 99% Sunni Muslim(and so,potential Wahabists).Despite that,it was the birthplace of 'Arab Spring'--the widespread 'uprisings' all over the Arab world.It all started with the self-immolation of a youngman whose pushcart(he sold stuffs in his pushcart to support his family) was confiscated by municipality officials of his town.
Arab Spring symbolizes 'uprising' just like our own uprising in the month of June 2001.
(I also think that we should not get distracted by a distant entity,like,Tunisia.We urgently need to size up what's currently happening neaer home.For example,we need think carefully over how the incoming Indian parliament is being convened right at the moment.It is being scheduled to start from the 17th of June,ie,just one day ahead of 18th of June.It is also ending its inaugural session on the 26th July ie, just one day ahead of the date on which the words 'without territorial limit' were deleted from the Bangkok Declaration .Doesn't the inaugural session of the latest edition of the Indian parliament also point to an 'uprising'?).
UPDATE-7
18-6-2019
2:46 pm.
Right at the moment,we are in the midst of a swirl of words of mouth and leaked news which say that the Citizenship Amendment Bill,2016 would be re-introduced in the parliament of India today,ie,the 18th of June 2019.
It does not matter whether the actual introduction of the Bill takes place on this day.
What matters us most is what lies behind it--the leaked news.To my mind,it is certain that the strategic thinkers in New Delhi are trying to invent another issue that rivals the likely upsurge in the agitation of the Manipuri people in the aftermath of the looming announcement of the final settlement of the Govt of India--NSCN(IM) peace talk.
So,what are the objectives of the strategic thinkers of New Delhi?
1)Foremost,they are trying to see if they can make a diversion in the minds of Manipuri people in response to the looming announcement of the final settlement of the Govt of India--NSCN(IM) peace talk.In other words,they want to examine the anatomy of an agitation of a society which is still pre-occupied with another(and,perhaps,rivalling) issue.What,form and,the degree of the agility, of an agitation in response to the looming announcement of the final settlement of the Govt of India--NSCN(IM) peace talk would present itself in this real world?
2)After studying the above anatomy of the agitation,the strategic thinkers in New Delhi want to experriment if they can sow the seed of a deep fissure right in the middle of the Manipuri society.
3)The strategic thinkers in New Delhi are aiming for an objective not less than the total destruction of the Manipuri Society,
In the meantime,the same set of people who together with the embassy of Tunisia showcased the cinema of Tunisia on the 25th and 26th of may were again on the game of showcasing another cinema on the 16th June 2019.This time the Italian film--Cinema paradiso.
We should not fail to notice the significance of the date.The parliament of India starts its session on the 17th June,just one day ahead of the 18th of June(My last update).Then,Cinema Paradiso came to Manipur on a date which is just one day ahead of the commencement of the session of the parliament of India.
So,I've been watching Cinema Paradiso(on YouTube) on a daily dose of 40 minutes per day for the last two days.It's perplexing how I come to this pass--I simply can't find time to watch a film at one go!How life changes!!
In one crucial scene of the film, the protagonist was seen crossing out dates on a calendar of circa 1954.He started the crossing out from the 15th of October until the 30th of December.
So,can we expect some important happenings from around the middle of October to the end of December this year?
Oh!I almost walk away forgetting the central theme of this update!!
Italy(whose film Cinema Paradiso is) is the place from where the present Western civilization as we know it emerges.
With Huawei issues entangling with the 2nd War of Kurukshetra,with the women power of Manipur and now ,with 18th of June,they are saying that the fight is between the West and the East.
West vs East.
UPDATE-8
24-7-2019
4:09 pm
It has been nearly 100 hrs and 5 days since the latest move on the chessboard by the strategic thinkers in New Delhi.
Yes,100 and 5!
This post of mine,together with the 8 updates,is the longest one of this blog.This longest post,together with the last two posts,deal with the symbolic numbers,100 and 5.Symbols that make us remember the epic war of Kurukshetra and make us further probe if there is a new War of Kurukshetra in the present time,that too,in front of our own eyes.
The latest move on the chessboard by New Delhi leaves entire Manipur flummoxed.In other words,the latesr incarnation of the numbers,100 and 5, is shining light on the agonizing moments in the intellectual and political spaces of Manipuri society,in not knowing what to make of the latest move by New Delhi and thus,in being clueless about the appropriate countermoves.
Incidentally,this collective agonizing moments intersect with that of the personal one of this blogger.
This blogger fancies himself to be an optimist.As an optimist,he always think we should face any emerging challenge,how-so-ever big it might be and how-so-ever creepily covert it might be.Despite being so,when he sees the entire spectrum of Manipur society entrapped inside the box of ages old feudal values,he agonizes at the scene to no end--his optimism nearly vanishing from this world.
Now,this blogger firmly wishes that these collective agonizing moments serve as the impetus for an inflection point for us (specially,our leaders)to jump out of the box of pettiness and feudal values.
Come out of the box,quickly.
How-so-ever agonizing these moments might be,we should not fail to note the drama that unfolded in front of our eyes just preceeding those moments.First,the Manipur Governor was despatched off to a vacation in the US.Immediately,the then Nagaland Governor was sworn in as the interim Governor.Then,the appointment of Mr RN Ravi as the Governor of Manipur was announced.The unfolding of the entire drama was concluded on the 20th of July 2019.
As with the symbolic numbers,100 and 5,the number 20 symbolizes the Manipuri Language Day,whose 28th edition would be celebrated on the 20th August 2019.
The push to amend the 8th Schedule of the Constitution of India,back in 1992,was powered by a huge force.Which constituent within our society represent this force?(We can definitely say the present day custodian of the Manipuri Language Day celebration,namely,the literary and cultural organiztions were not the actual power behind the force that initiated the agitations in 1992).Did the push to amend the 8th Schedule of the Constitution of India drag down the pace of the revolutionary'movement of Manipur? What is the present status of this particular constituent of our society?(Are they still gunning for more amendments to the Constitution of India?)Did this particular constituent infiltrate the mainstream 'revolutionary'movement of Manipur?
A new spectacular pattern we make out during the last few years is the assassination of the Vice Chairman of the oldest 'revolutionary' group by using chemical(in his food,obviuosly).We were all witness to a lots of bloodshed as the direct consequence of the presence of so many 'revolutionary' groups in our society.But we never did witness the use of chemical as a weapon of assssination--that's a new pattern.
Did the pattern-making use of chemical as the weapon of assassination mark the first publicly visible sign that there was a new entrant in 'revolutionary' scene of Manipur?
Were those new entrants the infiltrators?
Continuing on this theme,I also think the recent murder of Robert Naorem's mother was a chemically-induced one.Robert Naorem's father was made to strike the victim in a chemically-induced rage.(He probably did not have the intention to kill his wife--he was probably lost in the chemically-induced rage).I also believe that the real target was Robert Naorem himself--not his parents.It was a subtle and cruel move to 'socially'murder Robert Naorem.So,why was Robert Naorem targeted?
Before trying to answer (we need to give a credible answer to support the assertion that the murder was chemically-induced) this question,we need to ask another volatile question.
Was the murder of little Babysana(of Thangmeiband) in her school hostel in Canchipur also a case of chemically-induced one?
We need to look out for one particular hostelmate of Babysana,who is a few years older to her and (most crucially) have a lesbian crush on Babysana.It stands to reason that little Babysana spurned those lesbian overtures--repeatedly.The killers have the intimate knowledge of those relations and cross-relations within hostel rooms.The killers fed the lesbo girl with chemical in her food.Just like Robert Naorem's father,this lesbo girl,in a chemically-induced rage,killed Babysana.
I strongly suspect that all these murders were carried out by this constituent within our society who had successfully infiltrated the mainstream 'revolutionary' movement of Manipur.To substantiate this assertion,we need to find a credible answer to the 'why' question.But,to do that, we need to go the
actual murder scene and launch a full scale investigation.To my mind,all of that are outside the purview of this blog.
So,by enacting the Governor-switching drama on a day symbolized by the number 20 New Delhi is winking at the this particular constitution within our society--come on board,let's make friend.
New Delhi is creepily right on target in identifying this constituent within our.Judging by the scale of news-making power they are presently unleashing,it is quite evident that this constituent is rapidly gaining more power within the 'revolutionary' movement and outside of that,witihn the larger spaces of Manipuri society.
(One last thing,the recent deaths in Shihai Khullen,Ukhrul,presumbaly by ingesting wild mushroom was also the handiwork of this constituent of our society.Sometimes before the assassiantion of the Vice-Chairman of the oldest 'revolutionary' group of Manipur there was a death of a female singer in
Churachandpur,also, by virtue of the ingestion of a wild mushroom.Now,I suspect the death of the Churachandpur singer was the first foray of this constituent of our society in their long march of chemically-induced murders.The deaths at Shihai Khullen might be an indication of the things to come up in the near future--they might be planning to kill not only a female singer but also her entire family.I think we have duly been forewarned).
Oh!This update is turning itself into a longish one!!
We need to come to the crux of the matter quickly.
!)The framework Agreement between the Prime Minister of India and Mr Thuingalen Muivah of NSC(IM) is a fact of life--it exists.
2)Flowing down from this Framework Agreement,several new elements are discernible in the stream of events.Nagaland will be a State within the Union of India but with 'a little bit of difference'--like having a separate constitution,flag,coin etc.
From the above two statements,it is easy to deduce that the new Nagaland will also have a Governor with 'a little bit of difference'.
What might this 'little bit of difference 'come out in real-life form in the person of the future Governor of Nagaland,whose seat is presently occupied by the person none other than Mr RN Ravi?
1)It might be 'ceremonial'(just like,normal Governors of India's States being all ceremonial)
2)Now,we can make a match of the above in the form of a 'ceremonial' Pan Naga body.
3)What about making the 'ceremonial 'Governor of Nagalang the presiding officer of the equally 'ceremonial' Pan Naga body?
4)They would still say that all the real stuffs that matter stay within the confines of the present day territory of Nagaland.
5)They would again say that all that stuffs that identify the concept of Nagalim are all just 'ceremonial'.
How-so-ever 'ceremonial'all those stuffs might be,a very significant 'institutional seed 'of Nagalim would be firmly planted.Obviously,they are chasing a long-term goal.
At this very juncture,New Delhi is winking at the particular constituent within our society to brush aside any future Naga Peace Accord as of purely 'ceremonial'value and to focus,instead,on another rival issue,the Citizenship Amendment Bill(CAB).
The net result--the united and full force of the Manipuri society in confronting the final accord of the Naga Peace Settlement would be stymied.
Now is not the time to stay flummoxed.There is the critical need to jump out of the box of feudal values so as to enable ourselves to identify the vile constituent within our society which had successfully infiltrated the 'revolutionary' movement of Manipur and the equally vile overtures to this constituent from New Delhi.
Unless they attempt to quickly jump out of the box there is imminent danger of them being cast aside by the impact of the waves of geopolitical forces coming our way.
They are coming.(HINT:Rahul Gandhi-Imphal-Wayanad).
The Prime Minister inaugurated 8(4+4) development projects.
He also laid the foundation stones for another 4 new developmental projects.
So,the crucial number is 4.
To try to understand the meaning of this crucial number let's have a re-look at a particular para of my post(13th Dec 2018):
-------
Now comes the crucial recollection of a moment some 50 days ago.I vividly remember the moment.It was the night after the shooting down of the State Secy of BJP in Jammu and Kashmir.The Prime Minister was on All India Radio telling us that his govt is guaranteeing clearance of MSME sector loans in just 59 minutes.Noting the shooting down of the J&K BJP leader the previous day,I immediately suspected that the Prime Minister was speaking on a coded message.I thought for a moment and then came to the conclusion that he was referring to the 6th month,June and the date,10--I simply added 1 to both 5 and 9.I then thought that the Prime Minster was talking of avenging the shooting down of J&K BJP leader on the 10th June 2019.Wow,how he spoke in a code,I thought.
Now,I have to re-work my decoding.
1 minute less an hour is 59.(Note that 59 minutes by the Prime Minister).
1 day less a month is either 29 or 30.
Now,the crucial point--
1 unit less a dozen is 11.
-------
Going by the above method of decoding,the number 4 for the month of January 2019 signifies either 9th or the 23rd of the month.We come to the 9th of January if we start the decoding from the beginning of the month and 23rd,from the end of the month.
Personally. I'll bet for the 9th of January 2019.
The reason is that the date 9th of January is the day the Manipur king Chinglen Nongdren Khomba(Gambhir Singh) passed away on the way back from a military expedition to Burma.And New Lazang is everything to do with Burma.
It must also be noted here that before coming to Imphal the Prime Minister inaugurated the 106th Indian Science Congress in Punjab.We have to remember here that this 'Kurukshetra stuff' all began with the 105th Indian Science Congress in Imphal.
I'll now reproduce a portion of my post(31st March,2018) dealing with this topic:
------
....we will be hugely rewarded if we remember that the Prime Minister of India himself was in Imphal on the 16th of March 2018 for something connected with 100 and 5.
It would be easy for anybody to remember that 100 signifies the Kouravas and 5,the Pandavas.
....The Prime Minsiter of India,the Kouravas and the Pandavas--what a significant co-relation!
------
So,by inaugurating the 106th Indian Science Congress just a day before his Manipur visit,the Prime Minister reiterated that this 'Kurushetra stuff' is alive and kicking.
Going by this lead,should we expect the 3rd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra at New Lazang on the 9th of January 2019?
One last thing--I'm not certain of this but I'm just musing.
Is it feasible to keep a tab on areas around New Lazang on the 9th January by using Google Earth?
UPDATE-1
13-1-2019
3:39 pm
So,what did they do on the 9th January 2019?
India's Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary affairs scheduled the Budget Session from the 31st of January to the 3rd of February 2019.The interim budget is to be presented on the 1st of February.
In other words,they had re-scheduled the date of the 3rd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra.
What is the reason behind this assertion?
If we look back at my last post,it will be clear that the 2nd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra was on the 11th December 2018.It is the day the Winter Session of India's parliament commemced.It seems that they want to send out the message that this war is by the people owing allegiance to the doctrine of Democracy.Thus,it stands to reason that the 3rd battle should also re-state this message.
Before going further,it will make our perspective more lucid if we go some days back from the day they announced the new schedule.
On the 8th January 2019,another official of Huawei was arrested in Poland.We have to remember here that it all started with the arrest of Ms Meng Wanzhou,CFO,Huawei, on the ist December 2018.(My last post).
On the 8th January 2019, the lower house of India's Parliament passed the Citizenship amendment Bill.
On the 10th January 2019, India's Chief of Army Staff met the Press as his annual Meet the Press programme.During the Press Meet,he talked,among other things,about cross-border threats and India's response to them.
Earler,on the 4th January 2019,during his second stop-over at Silchar(after Imphal),the Prime Minister of India had publicly announced that the Citizenship Amendment Bill would be passed by the Parliament.We have to remind ourselves here the significance of the number 4.The announcement was made on the 4th and the Bill was actually passed by the lower house of the Parliament on the 8th(4+4).We have already discussed the significance of the number,4,in the main body of this post.
Coming upto this point,we must not fail to put up another assertion.The 2nd War of Kurukshetra is not a limited scale assault on the rebel hideouts along New Lazang sector of Manipur Burma border.By now it's clear that the 2nd War of Kurukshetra is the full scale assault on all things associated with the narrative of 'indigenous'.The social upheaval(against the Citizenship Amendment Bill) we have been witnessing right across the NE Region bear testimony to our assertion.
Now,we come to the crux of the problem.Should we try our hands on another decoding exercise using the newly available numbers,namely,31,1,2 and 3?Here,we have come face to face with 4 numbers--again.Ah!The significance of the number,4!!
Let's strike out the number,1,because they are going to present the interim buget on the 1st day of February.
Now,we are left with three numbers,namely,31,2 and 3.
We know 31 is the last day January 2019.So,what's the last day of February of the same year?No effort here--it's the 28th.Now,we have the 28th of February 2019 as our new number.Then,what we make of the remaining numbers, 2 and 3?
For my part,I add up the two numbers and come to another new number,5.Then I go backwards from the 28th February upto the fifth spot.Doing so,we come to our newest number,the 24th of February 2019.
We can assert that this new number,namely,the 24th of February 2019,is the magic number we have been looking for.The reson for this assertion is that the number 24 is the one which is clearly associated with the oldest rebel group of Manipur.
Here is the final word.The re-scheduled date for the 3rd battle of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra is the 24th February 2019.
UPDATE-2
20-1-2019
3:22 pm
They had made some changes on the duration of the interim Budget Session.Now,it starts on the 31st January and concludes on the 13th February 2019.
The most notable thing here is that the changes were announced on the 16th January 2019.
we must remind ourselves that the narrative of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra started with the Prime Minister's visit to Imphal on the 16th March 2018 for the 105th National Science Congress.The first post dealing with this narrative was published on the 31st March 2018 .The numbers noted there were 100,5 and 16.The numbers 100 and 5 point to 100 brothers against 5 brothers--the identifying feature of the War of Kurukshetra.The number 16 points to the 16th of October,one of the probable dates of the actual start of the War of Kurukshetra.We need to go back to that particular post to get the full details.
Now,the decoding exercise we did on my first update goes haywire.We need to do it all over again.
As we had done on the first decoding,let's strike out 1st February as they are still presenting the interim Budget on this particular day.Doing this we get the number 12(13-1).
We have another new number--16.The 16th October,the probable date of the commencement of the original War of Kurukshetra,which was hinted at by the 16th January 2019 announcement.
Adding the numbers,12 and 16,we get the number 28.
The crucial month associated with our number 16 is October.So,starting from October we must reach February.Doing so,we get our newest number--5.
As we had done on our first decoding,we now go backwards from the number 28 upto the 5th spot.Doing so,we again come face to face with our magic number--24.
So,in my scheme of things,24th February 2019 is still the D-day for the 3rd battle of the 2nd war of Kurukshetra.
UPDATE-3
24-1-2019
12:13 pm
I'm reproducing the whole report from Newsonair regarding the Government of India's Cabinet decision of 23rd Jan 2019.
-----
Cabinet has approved the landmark amendment to Article 280 of the Constitution to increase powers of Autonomous Councils in Sixth Schedule areas of North East.
The proposed amendment will give more powers to Autonomous District Councils of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura.
State Finance Commissions will be set up in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Territorial Council and Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council.
Finance Commission will recommend devolution of financial resources to ten Autonomous District Councils, and village and municipal councils in Sixth Schedule areas.
More funds will be given to local government institutions for development works in these tribal areas. The proposed amendments will have elected village and municipal councils ensuring grass root democracy.
The State Election Commissions will hold elections to Autonomous Councils, village and municipal councils in the scheduled areas of Assam, Mizoram and Tripura. One-third of seats will be reserved for women in the village and municipal councils. At least two nominated members in all autonomous councils will be women.
-----
In my mind,this Cabinet decision is the precursor to the announcement of the final settlement of Naga Peace talk.
As the main backbone of the final settlement,they will have several of these newly empowered Autonomous District Councils(by virtue of the application of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India).
If the Nagas have these Autonomous District Councils,another round of several Autonomous District Councils for the Kuki Mizo Chin people is not the question of 'if' but 'when'.
Encircled by those Autonomous District Councils,Manipur as a State will be destroyed.
I also think that this Cabinet decision is another strand of the complex strategy of the Government India's 2nd War of Kurukshetra.
UPDATE-4
24-2-2019
2:11 pm.
We should not fail to note the date on which the Nagas took out the rally in New Delhi demanding the early resolution of the Indo-Naga Peace Talk.The rally was on the 23rd of February--exactly one month after the Government of India's Cabinet decision to increase the powers of the Autonomous District Councils under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution of India.The details regarding the anatomy and portents of the Cabinet decision taken on the 23rd January 2019 are discussed in the last update of this post.
Before going any further we should arm ourselves with the significance of two other game changing dates.
1) The date on whcich the Telengana state was formed under the Article 3 of the Constitution of India.If we remember correctly it was the date on which the Government of India bulldozed the formation of a new State by the application of the Article 3 of the Constitution of India.The Telengana State was forcibly formed against the overall resistance of the people of Andhra Pradesh.The Date is 2nd of June 2014.
2) The date on which the Governemnt of India signed the Framework Agreement with the NSCN(IM).The date is 3rd August 2015.
After this exercise,we can now proceed further.
The Prime Minister of India,Mr Narendra Modi landed in the South Korean capital in the night of 21st February 2019.While he was in Seoul,the giant Korean tech company,Samsung announced the existence of Galaxy Fold.Samsung was announcing its own foldable phone--the Galaxy Fold.
For us here in the North Eastern part of India,the life threatening news comes up in the next part of the Samsung announcement.Samsung announced that the Galaxy Fold would be available for purchase from 26th April 2019 onwards.
We have another new date--the 26th of April 2019,which I dare to brand as 'life threatening.'
Why?
I'm dealing with the question in the coming paras.But why should we drag in the impeccable global brand,like Samsung into the sordid political machination of the Government of India?The answer to this question is not really hard to find.For one thing,we find that the sordid political machination of the Goernment of India has been somehow entangled with Huawei and its Chief Finance Officer,Ms Meng Wangzhou.And we come to a slow realization that Huawei,not Apple,is going to be the real competitor to Samsung.In this scenario,they might have thought it perfectly aligned with their battle plans for the 2nd War of Kurukshetra to drag in the would-be competitor of Huawei to the battle fields as well.
Now comes the Telengana part of our story.
It might have failed to come to the radar of ordinary newspaper reader because of its sheer ordinary sheen.Some days ago the Election Commision of India had quietly announced the Biennial Election of the Legislative Councils Andhra Pradesh and Telengana Assemblies for the members retiring on the 29th of March 2019.
Now,we have another new date,namely,the 29th March 2019.
So,what to make of our two dates--the 29th March and the 26th of April?
To my mind,they point to either 2nd or 3rd of April 2019.
[I think it is quite confusing for anybody in figuring out how I come to the above two numbers.I should spell out what;s there in my mind while arriving at them.It's quite simple.I wrote down the numbers between 29 end 26 ie 29,28,27,26.Firstly,the difference between 29 and 26 is 2.Secondly,if we think of travelling from 29 to 26,it would take 3 places to reach the goal.We may well get the two numbers 2 and 3 but should we arbitrarily attach the month 'April' to them?I barely think along that line and,to be honest,when I first read Samsung Galaxy Fold news,something inside me told me that there were more in the story than met the eyes--there seemed to be some coded messages in them.Besides that(and more importantly for the way of arriving at the said numbers),we are made to travel from 29 to 26 and that should mean travelling from March to April]
That throws us right into the middle of a big riddle.We can think that 2nd symbolizes the date of partition of Andhra Pradesh(creating Telengana).The 3rd,of course,the signing of the Framework Agreement.If one has to choose between 2nd and 3rd as the date of announcement of the final settlement of Naga Peace Talk.which one is more proper?2nd would definitely symbolize the partition of Manipur.3rd would symbolize the historic stature of the signing of the Framework Agreement.Anybody would be hard pressed to make the agonizing choice.
But,in the context of the 2nd War of Kurukshetra,the Framework Agreement does not count.So,3rd is definitely out.They would be delighted to make the announcement on the 2nd of April 2019.But any descendant of Chanakya worth his salt would never present himself in the world as that brazen.
So,what's likely in their mind?
We can go to an altogether different plane of reasoning.We can safely see ourselves as being presented with 2nd and 3rd of any measurable unit.Now,we can ask ourselves--what's missing in the game?
Of course,the 1st!!
So,would they make the announcement of the final settlement of the Indo-Naga Peace Talk on the 1st of April 2019?
Of course,everybody knows that 1st of April is the Fool's Day.
UPDATE-5
30-03-19
3.05 pm
Imagine introducing your debut product in the market on an April Fool Day!
Yes,a debut product--that too,the one which is supposed to lead the pioneering journey into the world of spatial computing.
We are talking about the spatial computing pioneer,Magic Leap.
(As we are traversing through the numerous updates of this post it should be clear to all that they are playing to the hilt the narrative of the West's technology superiority as exemplified by their tech companies like Samsung.They are playing the game in a playing field populated by Chinese upstarts--doing this,they intend to magnify manifold the visibility of their superiority.At the moment,Magic Leap faces no competition from Chinese tech companies,though Huawei is supposed to come out with their own spatial computing device in this current year.So,in the context of our story,Magic Leap is the poster boy of the West.Personally,I'm excited about the doses of spatial computing hours in my daily computing needs.I'll grab a spatial computing device when the manufacturers achieve a certain level of economies of scale providing common users, like me, an affordable price point).
Magic Leap is introducing their spatial computing device,Magic Leap One to the market on the 1st April 2019.They are stocking the device in another store in second location on the 3rd,then in yet another store on the 6th April.
We should remember here that we are in the business of collecting dates to see if there is any pattern developing amonst them!
So,here we are--1st,3rd and 6th of April 2019.
Yet,we are not done with the task of collecting the dates!
On the 5th April,Samsung is releasing the 5G version of its flagship Galaxy S 10.
Most importantly,on the 25th March 2019,President of the USA,Mr Donald Trump proclaimed that Golan Heights would now be recognized as the rightful territory of Israel.(Golan Heights, a highland captured by Israel during the Sixth Day War,will now be treated by the US as the rightful territory of Israel.Would the fate of Golan Heights befall the highlands of Manipur in the near futures?).Is it a mere coincidence that Mr RN Ravi also landed in Dimapur on the 25th of March for further talks?
For our purpose,we now have final five number of dates--1st,3rd,5th,6th and 25th.
Now,let the game begin!
To my mind,when we talk of Magic Leap's numbers,namely,1,3 and 6,the unsaid items ,namely, 2,4 and 5 are also equally significant.How about making them to come to 22(5x4+2).Now,let's add the openly uttered numbers of dates,namely,3.Then,it comes to 25.
Surprisingly,Magic Leap's numbers suddenly come to that of Donald Trump's.
Surprise!Surprise!!
Let's have a good look at our newly derived number against the backdrop of yet another date--Samsung's date.Samsung's date is 5th April.
Is it 25th day of the 5th month of the year 2019?
So,we have the crucial date--25th May 2019.
We know that the counting of votes of India's parliamentary election begins on the 23rd May.They would have the full result latest by the 24th of May.That means they would have the latest mandate from the India's electorate on the 25th of May.
That would mean that the incumbent Prime Minister would resign if the verdict goes against him.Even if he gets the majority of parliamentary seats,it is a well-established convention to take the government as a caretaker one and he has to tender his resignation to take the oath of prime minsitership for another term.
By the 25th of May,New Delhi would land in a situation whereby no political leader can take any executive or policy decision.
If the final settlement of the Naga Peace talk is announced on the 25th of May 2019,no political leader would be responsible for it.Only a bureaucrat,namely,Mr RN Ravi would be responsible for it.All the political leaders in New Delhi would say that the announcement of final settlement of the Naga Peace talk is the culmination of the due process of the slow grind of the bureaucratic machineries.We have to note here that,right at the moment,Mr RN Ravi is negotiating with the Nagas at a pace which is supposedly dictated by the Indian administration's bureaucratic sloth.
So,is it the 25th May 2019?
UPDATE-6
03-06-2019
2:41 pm
I'm not a constitutional expert.But the normal convention is that before the term of an outgoing parliament ends the incoming parliament should be constituted by appointing a protem speaker and then,the newly elected members of the parliament should be duly sworn in by the newly appointed protem speaker.
The term of the outgoing parliament of India ended on the 2nd June 2019.
So,the question crops up--what is the legal status of the incoming Indian parliament?
More specifically,from the 3rd of June onwards until the 19th of June,when the protem speaker would be appointed,where does the incoming Indian parliament stand?
Can a council of ministers,headed by a prime minister,exist without the incoming parliament duly constituted and its newly elected members duly sworn in by the protem speaker?
To my mind,we are witnessing a bizarre scenario in New Delhi.
Coming to our point,we were betting that the final agreement of the India Government-NSCN(IM) talk might be announced on the 25th May 2019.The main crux of our assertion was that on the 25th of May there would be power vacuum during the transition of the outgoing and the incoming parliaments(my last update).We did have that power vacuum on the 25th of May but the anticipated announcement did not materialize.
But,now, we know that this question remains unanswered--is the parliament of India still in a transition mode?
Last,but not the least,we should not leave behind one important thing.On the 25th and 26th May 2019,the embassy of Tunisia suddenly thought it fit to showcase their cinemas in Imphal.
So,what about Tunisia?
Tunisia is a North African country comprising of 99% Sunni Muslim(and so,potential Wahabists).Despite that,it was the birthplace of 'Arab Spring'--the widespread 'uprisings' all over the Arab world.It all started with the self-immolation of a youngman whose pushcart(he sold stuffs in his pushcart to support his family) was confiscated by municipality officials of his town.
Arab Spring symbolizes 'uprising' just like our own uprising in the month of June 2001.
(I also think that we should not get distracted by a distant entity,like,Tunisia.We urgently need to size up what's currently happening neaer home.For example,we need think carefully over how the incoming Indian parliament is being convened right at the moment.It is being scheduled to start from the 17th of June,ie,just one day ahead of 18th of June.It is also ending its inaugural session on the 26th July ie, just one day ahead of the date on which the words 'without territorial limit' were deleted from the Bangkok Declaration .Doesn't the inaugural session of the latest edition of the Indian parliament also point to an 'uprising'?).
UPDATE-7
18-6-2019
2:46 pm.
Right at the moment,we are in the midst of a swirl of words of mouth and leaked news which say that the Citizenship Amendment Bill,2016 would be re-introduced in the parliament of India today,ie,the 18th of June 2019.
It does not matter whether the actual introduction of the Bill takes place on this day.
What matters us most is what lies behind it--the leaked news.To my mind,it is certain that the strategic thinkers in New Delhi are trying to invent another issue that rivals the likely upsurge in the agitation of the Manipuri people in the aftermath of the looming announcement of the final settlement of the Govt of India--NSCN(IM) peace talk.
So,what are the objectives of the strategic thinkers of New Delhi?
1)Foremost,they are trying to see if they can make a diversion in the minds of Manipuri people in response to the looming announcement of the final settlement of the Govt of India--NSCN(IM) peace talk.In other words,they want to examine the anatomy of an agitation of a society which is still pre-occupied with another(and,perhaps,rivalling) issue.What,form and,the degree of the agility, of an agitation in response to the looming announcement of the final settlement of the Govt of India--NSCN(IM) peace talk would present itself in this real world?
2)After studying the above anatomy of the agitation,the strategic thinkers in New Delhi want to experriment if they can sow the seed of a deep fissure right in the middle of the Manipuri society.
3)The strategic thinkers in New Delhi are aiming for an objective not less than the total destruction of the Manipuri Society,
In the meantime,the same set of people who together with the embassy of Tunisia showcased the cinema of Tunisia on the 25th and 26th of may were again on the game of showcasing another cinema on the 16th June 2019.This time the Italian film--Cinema paradiso.
We should not fail to notice the significance of the date.The parliament of India starts its session on the 17th June,just one day ahead of the 18th of June(My last update).Then,Cinema Paradiso came to Manipur on a date which is just one day ahead of the commencement of the session of the parliament of India.
So,I've been watching Cinema Paradiso(on YouTube) on a daily dose of 40 minutes per day for the last two days.It's perplexing how I come to this pass--I simply can't find time to watch a film at one go!How life changes!!
In one crucial scene of the film, the protagonist was seen crossing out dates on a calendar of circa 1954.He started the crossing out from the 15th of October until the 30th of December.
So,can we expect some important happenings from around the middle of October to the end of December this year?
Oh!I almost walk away forgetting the central theme of this update!!
Italy(whose film Cinema Paradiso is) is the place from where the present Western civilization as we know it emerges.
With Huawei issues entangling with the 2nd War of Kurukshetra,with the women power of Manipur and now ,with 18th of June,they are saying that the fight is between the West and the East.
West vs East.
UPDATE-8
24-7-2019
4:09 pm
It has been nearly 100 hrs and 5 days since the latest move on the chessboard by the strategic thinkers in New Delhi.
Yes,100 and 5!
This post of mine,together with the 8 updates,is the longest one of this blog.This longest post,together with the last two posts,deal with the symbolic numbers,100 and 5.Symbols that make us remember the epic war of Kurukshetra and make us further probe if there is a new War of Kurukshetra in the present time,that too,in front of our own eyes.
The latest move on the chessboard by New Delhi leaves entire Manipur flummoxed.In other words,the latesr incarnation of the numbers,100 and 5, is shining light on the agonizing moments in the intellectual and political spaces of Manipuri society,in not knowing what to make of the latest move by New Delhi and thus,in being clueless about the appropriate countermoves.
Incidentally,this collective agonizing moments intersect with that of the personal one of this blogger.
This blogger fancies himself to be an optimist.As an optimist,he always think we should face any emerging challenge,how-so-ever big it might be and how-so-ever creepily covert it might be.Despite being so,when he sees the entire spectrum of Manipur society entrapped inside the box of ages old feudal values,he agonizes at the scene to no end--his optimism nearly vanishing from this world.
Now,this blogger firmly wishes that these collective agonizing moments serve as the impetus for an inflection point for us (specially,our leaders)to jump out of the box of pettiness and feudal values.
Come out of the box,quickly.
How-so-ever agonizing these moments might be,we should not fail to note the drama that unfolded in front of our eyes just preceeding those moments.First,the Manipur Governor was despatched off to a vacation in the US.Immediately,the then Nagaland Governor was sworn in as the interim Governor.Then,the appointment of Mr RN Ravi as the Governor of Manipur was announced.The unfolding of the entire drama was concluded on the 20th of July 2019.
As with the symbolic numbers,100 and 5,the number 20 symbolizes the Manipuri Language Day,whose 28th edition would be celebrated on the 20th August 2019.
The push to amend the 8th Schedule of the Constitution of India,back in 1992,was powered by a huge force.Which constituent within our society represent this force?(We can definitely say the present day custodian of the Manipuri Language Day celebration,namely,the literary and cultural organiztions were not the actual power behind the force that initiated the agitations in 1992).Did the push to amend the 8th Schedule of the Constitution of India drag down the pace of the revolutionary'movement of Manipur? What is the present status of this particular constituent of our society?(Are they still gunning for more amendments to the Constitution of India?)Did this particular constituent infiltrate the mainstream 'revolutionary'movement of Manipur?
A new spectacular pattern we make out during the last few years is the assassination of the Vice Chairman of the oldest 'revolutionary' group by using chemical(in his food,obviuosly).We were all witness to a lots of bloodshed as the direct consequence of the presence of so many 'revolutionary' groups in our society.But we never did witness the use of chemical as a weapon of assssination--that's a new pattern.
Did the pattern-making use of chemical as the weapon of assassination mark the first publicly visible sign that there was a new entrant in 'revolutionary' scene of Manipur?
Were those new entrants the infiltrators?
Continuing on this theme,I also think the recent murder of Robert Naorem's mother was a chemically-induced one.Robert Naorem's father was made to strike the victim in a chemically-induced rage.(He probably did not have the intention to kill his wife--he was probably lost in the chemically-induced rage).I also believe that the real target was Robert Naorem himself--not his parents.It was a subtle and cruel move to 'socially'murder Robert Naorem.So,why was Robert Naorem targeted?
Before trying to answer (we need to give a credible answer to support the assertion that the murder was chemically-induced) this question,we need to ask another volatile question.
Was the murder of little Babysana(of Thangmeiband) in her school hostel in Canchipur also a case of chemically-induced one?
We need to look out for one particular hostelmate of Babysana,who is a few years older to her and (most crucially) have a lesbian crush on Babysana.It stands to reason that little Babysana spurned those lesbian overtures--repeatedly.The killers have the intimate knowledge of those relations and cross-relations within hostel rooms.The killers fed the lesbo girl with chemical in her food.Just like Robert Naorem's father,this lesbo girl,in a chemically-induced rage,killed Babysana.
I strongly suspect that all these murders were carried out by this constituent within our society who had successfully infiltrated the mainstream 'revolutionary' movement of Manipur.To substantiate this assertion,we need to find a credible answer to the 'why' question.But,to do that, we need to go the
actual murder scene and launch a full scale investigation.To my mind,all of that are outside the purview of this blog.
So,by enacting the Governor-switching drama on a day symbolized by the number 20 New Delhi is winking at the this particular constitution within our society--come on board,let's make friend.
New Delhi is creepily right on target in identifying this constituent within our.Judging by the scale of news-making power they are presently unleashing,it is quite evident that this constituent is rapidly gaining more power within the 'revolutionary' movement and outside of that,witihn the larger spaces of Manipuri society.
(One last thing,the recent deaths in Shihai Khullen,Ukhrul,presumbaly by ingesting wild mushroom was also the handiwork of this constituent of our society.Sometimes before the assassiantion of the Vice-Chairman of the oldest 'revolutionary' group of Manipur there was a death of a female singer in
Churachandpur,also, by virtue of the ingestion of a wild mushroom.Now,I suspect the death of the Churachandpur singer was the first foray of this constituent of our society in their long march of chemically-induced murders.The deaths at Shihai Khullen might be an indication of the things to come up in the near future--they might be planning to kill not only a female singer but also her entire family.I think we have duly been forewarned).
Oh!This update is turning itself into a longish one!!
We need to come to the crux of the matter quickly.
!)The framework Agreement between the Prime Minister of India and Mr Thuingalen Muivah of NSC(IM) is a fact of life--it exists.
2)Flowing down from this Framework Agreement,several new elements are discernible in the stream of events.Nagaland will be a State within the Union of India but with 'a little bit of difference'--like having a separate constitution,flag,coin etc.
From the above two statements,it is easy to deduce that the new Nagaland will also have a Governor with 'a little bit of difference'.
What might this 'little bit of difference 'come out in real-life form in the person of the future Governor of Nagaland,whose seat is presently occupied by the person none other than Mr RN Ravi?
1)It might be 'ceremonial'(just like,normal Governors of India's States being all ceremonial)
2)Now,we can make a match of the above in the form of a 'ceremonial' Pan Naga body.
3)What about making the 'ceremonial 'Governor of Nagalang the presiding officer of the equally 'ceremonial' Pan Naga body?
4)They would still say that all the real stuffs that matter stay within the confines of the present day territory of Nagaland.
5)They would again say that all that stuffs that identify the concept of Nagalim are all just 'ceremonial'.
How-so-ever 'ceremonial'all those stuffs might be,a very significant 'institutional seed 'of Nagalim would be firmly planted.Obviously,they are chasing a long-term goal.
At this very juncture,New Delhi is winking at the particular constituent within our society to brush aside any future Naga Peace Accord as of purely 'ceremonial'value and to focus,instead,on another rival issue,the Citizenship Amendment Bill(CAB).
The net result--the united and full force of the Manipuri society in confronting the final accord of the Naga Peace Settlement would be stymied.
Now is not the time to stay flummoxed.There is the critical need to jump out of the box of feudal values so as to enable ourselves to identify the vile constituent within our society which had successfully infiltrated the 'revolutionary' movement of Manipur and the equally vile overtures to this constituent from New Delhi.
Unless they attempt to quickly jump out of the box there is imminent danger of them being cast aside by the impact of the waves of geopolitical forces coming our way.
They are coming.(HINT:Rahul Gandhi-Imphal-Wayanad).
