 Good morning friends My name is It's a very difficult name. So whenever my friends from outside Manipura asked, do you have a good name? So I said I don't have a good name because it's very difficult to pronounce and I find a lot of Nada names also very difficult to pronounce you have Difficult names first. Thank you for in my team me My resume or my little right. I think it is much more than what I am. I Have been a journalist in Manipura. I have finished my university Around 1986 or so. I'm not that old, but I'm just close to 62 years of age I'm here in Nagaland for a project. I'm writing a biography of one very senior Nala leader from Nagaland and in the process I have also been assigned a little bit of documentation on the Nala movement after 1975 So I've been traveling in and out in the remote areas of Nalaland since the post-COVID In fact my project was supposed to start before COVID all of a sudden in two years of gap And Technically I'm now based in June I Have rented a small place because coming and staying in democracy is very expensive and now I'm retired We have a subject called communication investment and every time today since I'm from Manipura People ask me. I'm a waiter. You know who a waiter is. I hope My day My day So I was invited by the Indian University of mass communication to talk on the present conflict and I said I will not I will not talk on that conflict because I'm a meeting. I'm a part of the war. You understand I am a part of that very battle that is happening in Manipura because I have a meeting and the conflict is between the mighty and the cookie So when I speak as a mind when I speak They will always look at me not as a speaker, but as a mighty first, isn't it? Am I right or wrong? If there is a conflict between two tribes in Manipura, I will not say any tribe but if there is a conflict between A and B and if you belong to that B and when you speak When you say anything you will people will look at you not as an individual First they will look at you as that A or B So today when I speak about the conflict in Manipura first They will think that I'm a mighty so my opinions would be biased I had a tough time yesterday when Mr. Royumot asked me to share some thoughts on the present conflict first before I begin my little Sharing with you about Pacific management He said please speak something about the present conflict. I said I would like to say but You already have that notion that I'm a mighty whenever I speak So will you be able to see me first as a speaker or from that community? That is very important as a young student So around 8 30 yesterday at night. I was practicing for half an hour in front of my theater Where a lot of the students come to give you Because you are a very educated person socially there is there And ultimately I called up my professor a very good professor one of my teachers He's retired and now he's in Pune After all though I'm 62 years old and I say I have a very difficult task tomorrow Get some orders and I will be sharing my thoughts I had to refer to my professor who is now 83 years old I have to I have to take his purpose Because of that vision Difficult And then around 9 30 my daughter called me said She was less bothered about what I'm going to speak my daughter said that what are you going to hear? I will wear I said a pair of jeans I do whether tolop hala say I put a new pair of t-shirts I said don't do that mistake dress up properly because Mega boys and girls are very well dressed or observe together So I had to think of a very new dress again last night So I had put my dress for this lecture and I wear this Because what you look at Is also important. I don't know whether I'm presentable look wise or What I'm going to say my professor told me you should first begin with Edward B. Bono's process of thinking and this is why I was requested for this Board we will have a very simple Uh illustration. Okay. I'll just use this Many of the others you have a name and a family name. That's right, isn't it? For the mighty you have the family name first And you have the name anyone today all the mightings They have fashion now. They use the name And this and the second letter And don't do that mistake as a young person in your own right Today every Monday they think they're very smart They will write my name and then the second letter because our ancestors go there after tradition So I always write my name first during my family name first I think it is this to not write anything There is a person called Edward B. Bono All right You can google and find later and if at all if your library has his books Don't read Why because you don't understand his writings There are many people who might use his books Show for you that I'm reading B. Bono's book Anyone who reads his book You will never understand So when I was working in Mumbai every young boy every young business management can't train a bus They say I'm reading B. Bono's book But I tell you don't read his books because you can't understand unless somebody explains Very luckily I had some professors Who explained his concepts Uh There is a saying in English in Hindi in Manipuri in any language of me Think straight In your own language, you will also be saying things straight. Is it in Manipuri? It's things straight. So this fellow says as long as you think straight You are an idiot. So he's a crazy fellow. So don't read Anyone who thinks straight You will not find any solution and you will never progress. So he gave us one example And it is called that right thinking Just just I need three days Just three days Just three more years You hold this Just presume that she is holding a piece of wood A dry piece of wood He's also holding a Dry piece of wood. He's also holding a dry piece of wood You understand We they all are holding a piece of dry wood Dry the other way But heavy whatever the future is of dry wood Now if I say Live it Now I say one two three and just live it Don't leave because my pen will break Now Imagine I say one two three and They believe it You go back to your seats. They're holding three wooden pieces This is a four if I say one two three and this is your friends to rest that piece of wood Where would it go? Good job Tell me and wait If I say that one could see and you live it. So where would this pieces go? Why are you taking us a long time? Good job? It'll fall Yeah, where will it go? It'll fall It'll fall Say loudly Have you understood Where will this piece of wood go? It will fall right It will fall everybody knows but this fellow says All those who say that these three pieces would fall is an idiot Are you an idiot? No, but this fellow says We all agree even when my professor asked I said sir it will go down obviously But this fellow says In his letter thinking which is the book it says Anyone who says that this would fall Is an idiot No, can you guess why? Because he says One will go up One will go down And one will not go It will remain Is it possible? The second proposition all will fall down Now this fellow says Anyone who says that this would fall down is an idiot And then the second chapter he says this will go up One will go down One will not go anywhere Can you make a conjecture why he said that? Because all of you, all of us We thought straight There are 800 languages recognized in China About 1,000 dialects And in that they also said think straight Whether it be Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Manipuri There is the same Children should think straight Now because we thought straight So he is falling down So he says He said It was a piece of dry wood This fellow says This man is standing inside water This is him who said that If that person was standing inside water And opening a piece of dry wood Where would it go? It would go, is it? Javanu Nagam So this man was standing inside water This man was standing on the earth So because of the G force It would go down This fellow is in the space Where there is no reputational force So it will float If you had asked me Sir, where are these three people standing? I would say this man is inside water So you can do This would not go up If this is on the earth This will go down The ego says Don't be an idiot You should ask You know I am 60 I am 62 But I want to fall into that category of youth According to UN What is the youth now? Earlier Anyone who is below 33 years Would be called a youth But the UN has changed Anyone who is above 17 or 18 And up to 22 in the youth Because during these days People are curious And people ask questions In Ireland today Do not have that category In my research There is no youth Even if you are in this category In my last Three years of research I found that Young people in Ireland They have stopped asking questions Not only in Ireland But in Thailand The entire world is For all the categories of youth They have stopped asking questions And if you do not ask questions Where? How and when this was happening There will be more growth In your culture In your society You will get a degree You will get a degree Ultimately If you do not ask questions In your own state In your own community I just saw those posters Similar to drugs When I was sitting here I was really attracted You know the drugs came through Manikur Much earlier than Nagaland Because it was through the border 1978 Was when We were preparing for our old exam To ask them and there was a time when drugs came Almost 50% of my friends Of my age They became drug users Some of them died Some of them are main now Because of that drug And we were not prepared for those days But now our children are Don't prepare in Manikur However You will still see That is a trend Because when you go up You don't ask questions Anyway Before I start My communication management Or journalism Whatever it is Maybe I will go First You should know where you are standing And what is your responsibility Your responsibility As a member of society Your responsibility As a son Or a daughter Your responsibility as So called the foundation Of your state organization And today Media or journalism Is looking at that Perspective Which we never learned You know who is Karan Thapur You know who is Karan Thapur That journalist is very active Who is asking fashion users What can you do Karan Thapur The moment the Kuki And the Mantay started Earlier he used to have a YouTube channel The viewers used to be couple of thousands Now after he started Interviewing people from Manipur Either Kuki or Maitai His viewers have gone to lax He has become very popular But he is a very responsible journalist Whom I respect Now I don't Of course this is recorded I will get this to scare I used to respect him as a journalist Because he was very well spoken Well read After this Maitai Maitai and Kuki Class started He became very popular Of a night And his YouTube channels You know there are how many viewers Lax and lax Ultimately I saw all his interviews As a citizen As a journalist After listening to his interviews He created more problem Than solving the problem He is interviewing two people Making them fight He is asking one Kuki So he will throw all the winner He is asking one Maitai He will throw all the winner And those young boys who are not away They are still fighting now So I called that fellow a donkey So he is a good man I still wouldn't call him a donkey Because he is not a good human being He is making other people fight Suppose if there is a fight between Angami, Sumi or Kiki You ask one Sumi If he is fighting with an Angami He will say something against Angami And you ask one Angami He will say something against Sumi If you ask one Au Or if they are fighting Children will come to know All the dirt of what happened in the past Am I doing good as a journalist Yes or no As a writer I think they are very quiet So If you are from that mass communication If you are from that person Who is going to give information To people You should think thousand times With that information you are sharing You are part of that Problem solving You are part of that problem creator So when there is a crisis When there is a conflict It is the responsibility Of those who are handling Well Today there is no journalist Anyone who has a smartphone Is the best journalist today They do all equal life in the world And that has so much of They get the good facts And today I have moved out from All the watcher groups Because when I wake up A watcher group They solve many bad things They move forward So I cannot start my day I can even have my cup of tea Breakfast, coffee in one night If they have mine Why should I spoil it So do you want to be an idiot More or less You should ask questions You are safe Do you have a pendant Member with you Do you have Do you have a pendant Member with you I will tell you a story in 5 minutes Just think in your mind I have been traveling In Nagaland Almost 3 years All the roads are bad All the roads are bad And the road in Manipura are worse There are some good roads in Nagaland But all the roads are bad In Nagaland And worse in Manipura And worse in Mizoram Arunachal to Ola Bhalas Jumrati to Ola Bhalas I checked out the Bajitri province of the Road development from the Union government I will tell you how many Crores of rupees have been sanctioned In Manipura, Nagaland for the road construction If you don't know Do you have a tap In your house Where you get drinking water Do you have drinking water Asena Do you have drinking water In your house which comes through a tap No In Manipura also No But since 1956 And 65 The government had already met plans To get drinking water at every single house And money has been coming to it Because the most important In every household is drinking water Every hospital is supposed to Give free medicine When we were children When the doctor used to write medicine We go to the hospital And we used to get free medicine I remember Not today But the money still goes from the government At the time medicine was not there Because our forefathers Our politicians Our educated officers You know They think like we are idiots And they take all the money That is a question I used to go up and down From Yufang to Dimapu Just near Jubsa Near Jubsa There is a pipe What is coming from me And there are about 400 Small carriers 1,000 Laga And they fill the water And they supply to Kohima 1,000 rupees 1,000 rupees for I think 1,000 liters And everybody has to buy Money But there is a problem There is water What has given us enough We have destroyed Not a single young person today In Dimapu is asking Why is our work better Why are we not getting Free medicine in our hospital Because we all have become idiots Because of that system that we continue So do you want to belong To that generation Or you want to make a change And this change Is to be initiated By those students Young people Who have Taken up that subject Called mass communication Because these are the people Who will have to communicate to the people That these are your rights These are something that you should get Rather than If you look at There are 5 newspapers I will play with Madeleine Post, Molo Express Frontier There is a single column Where the grievances Of the people are reflected In that newspaper Mixed Mixed Anyway Whether it is the social media Or anything I am in some good groups Of my whatsapp group Until today I am really sad That not a single boy or a girl In that whatsapp group Reflected the grievances of the state Things that you know If I have a smart phone Molo Express does it all We think they will flash But What a single grievance Of the state of the people Is highlighted And that news There is a saying Bad news travel fast Bad news travel fast And good news Go ahead If you ask them Make those grievances Of the state as scandal Bad news or it travels And at least Sir you will listen Ministers will listen Or even the church will listen If you talk What basically is in news You know one person from Manipura came His name is Imochoumi And he shared his thoughts And he shared his experience In the journalism That is news limited But What will you learn from News News means something That you see Something that you hear First of all Before a script was written Or anything news which You will pass down by word From village to village It will go, that is the news Then later on people started writing And people will read Then television came You can see and then hear both Today when you get up You have a smart phone You see everything that is happening If you are an educated person Whatever you say Whatever you speak It should have something It should have an impact for a change When I came from In fact this time I brought a You know what is the funny That the girls wear Among the mitticks And one cloth that covered the Bought From December to January It was a merriest season in Nagaland When Imani in this When I said I went And that was complete Butcher of Butcher in Nagaland The maleest In Nagaland is a Butcher of your own indigenous culture So I had a I have a friend in Jhumu We had a long discussion And this gentleman he says I have two sons when I get married He says One decoration was about five packs For a rich person I don't know whether you or not And for a mediocre decoration It was about two packs And he says I would rather give it to my daughter Because you know You want this decoration or you carry this Five packs He said You see why it is so stupid Because the father is going to spend Five packs on decoration The daughter says that I would like that in cash And now Merriest is when You show your culture Merriest is when You show your belonging So this family has decided I will not name the tribe This family has decided that When his sons and daughters get married They will wear the traditional dress The father is saying When my daughter gets married She will buy the gown which is about one night And it is only one time use So when all the girls wear Their one flight gown Or you will dress Which she will continue to wear This isn't that young people Will have to initiate I am not forcing you Now she is smiling She will say I want the best gown Which will cost you life Only once in a lifetime She will never say that Give me the dress Traditional dress designer I will wear that and I can marry And I will use that throughout my life This precisely when our education Is somewhere going for me Because our mass communication Is going somewhere else You have a right to disagree with me You have a right to disagree with me But Unfortunately in my resume You will see that I am also one of the members of the In business people of the forties Is it that in my resume Two years ago there was an election In the Fubar We have a forum called In business people's fort And in the Fubar I got elected as a secretary general Of the forties in business people's fort My first evening became In our cultural classes Designed the forties How to preserve I realized this in all the states We are not In business or Dresses or alternatives Mass communication Does not mean You use a smartphone You write up good writings In newspaper Mass communication also would Mean that young generation like you Should be able to preserve And observe Your distinct form of your own Culture Half with every and half with one every In this forum I know But my duty as a communication In charge Who is 62 years old And thus Seeing the changes My son is in class 9 My son is in class 9 During Covid I think you do So my brother bought it Because Luckily he learned to care And he is singing western songs Whether he sings or not He is trying everything Then my mother There is only one boy in my family You know there are 18 girls in my family 18 girls in my family My brother has daughters My other brother has daughters My cousin has daughters There is only one boy in my family Only my son The most irresponsible boy So His grandmother said to me Shall we take your son to learn some folk music? And my son was saying What is folk music? So after the post of it I sent him to one Lady You just googled him This is her name This lady is an icon in money That's the very famous folk singer In money So I sent my son to her school And now in his class With just 10% of the folk music He is a hero in his school Because he is the only person Who learns that traditional song And he is very poor He sings only 10% of our folk song But he is a hero Because the rest of them sing modern songs So I told my son That you learn your tradition At least you are now a hero in your class He is the only non-person Who can play the piano and sing our folk song Your master communication As I personally feel today If I have another opportunity I will come back I personally feel Besides the subject that I was implying My brother said to me That you know Each anything which is in your syllabus Because you will be learning That's the syllabus of master communication Share your thoughts As a person who has been travelling In the modern world Which will have some impact On the young ones Go home Ask your parents When I get married In a western dress Or in my own traditional dress Guys of course You have no choice You have to wear a suit You know But ladies You have no choice But guys also You have a chance to reflect your own community With some design If today if I have communication To you in my just 40 minutes Of sharing That will be one impact Of master communication So you have a watcher group Now next Semba Is a merrier season You start a group And say that We promote Or rather we are further Preservation and conservation Of our own ethnic and traditional And indigenous way of life Which we cannot do in our daily To the lives like you come to college You have to wear this dress There is only one occasion when you carry That is when You are born When somebody goes to the burial When you go from marriage These are the places where you show your identity Am I right or wrong Am I right or am I wrong You have only one occasion Where you want to show your tradition And that is when The merriest happens Because there are hundreds of people Master communication Would mean it should not be Only for informing But it should be The same somebody's mind There is something wrong In the government Where there is something wrong in the system Just trust Because Our leaders Some are for the last frames They feel They respect some money And they will really take it But who are the losers You don't have roads Why is that so There are no colleges in the market Tell me Your college is one of the most popular colleges In the market Because of the structure Because of smart teachers And the students are smart And where would the parent Would like to send Smart environment And this is the duty of the government And they spend crores of rupees In building colleges and schools I don't know where The second festival Before yesterday I think I came About ten years ago In the same stadium It is like that Our line of thinking As Edward de Bono Would say that we have anything Think straight You please do not Think straight Ask questions Once you go out There is a single system Where there is voting You should be putting up in your watcher That will be Mass communication And systematically If you are educated If you want a message How will you send If something is wrong here At least he doesn't know If you want him to know What a governor You have to write a letter I don't think people will inform him That there was something like this You have to write a letter That is why Writing letters Sending to a person is very important That is why In the process of communication What Is Most important Is you should be prepared Either for life And this is the only education That we will get From social media Or any kind of source You can google that When I asked this to one of the engineers He told the All minister And this group They are going to Talk about this openly Then they directly Got new wires And they changed And there was no accident This was inspired by one person That you find out Just write in your Hand Or in a piece of paper How will Your society progress How will your state progress How will your community progress This is The role of mass communication Which every single citizen Should have within his own capacity Rather than going to the youtube For 5 hours I want a Handset for my son He is now in class night My mother is complaining That you were spoiling your son Because you bought a Mobile for yourself He is spending about 3-4 hours every day on the mobile So I never beat my son Because he is daughter in law He is almost 6 foot now Very handy So I tell my wife You beat your son If he is handling your If he is always on mobile I am very surprisingly I never can fire my Son I never can Flash my son But my wife can And he never gets angry If the mother beats him He never gets angry But if I do He will not speak to me for 1 week I don't know Does it happen to your family Yes If I Spoke my son He will be in the moon For 3-4 days And I gave him 1 trash He will not speak to me for 1 week Every day He can scold him And he changes I think this is the power of women Am I right or wrong Socrates said You educate a woman How the problem is solved All educated men They will be educated But they have no responsibility And sometimes I feel Young girls Initiating mass communication And all the journalists today I think there are many many young ladies Who are Vossy for us in their own manner In their own style I think guys don't get angry after I give up Because I am pressing the buzzer This is also one power When we hear something The first thing When you read a newspaper When you hear the news item The first thing is You get information There was an accident Possibly in the car we said There was one patient he died But what happened is You just opened the newspaper today When you go back to the table When you go back On the lobby There are many newspapers Just look at the news item Of all the newspapers As it happened For 1 week When you come to the lobby Just look at it And just see If any information is of any value to you I read newspapers I read newspapers Everything you find I see about 7 newspapers In the morning at my home I read all the newspapers Because I need to be informed As a journalist I feel very sad Because everything I read in the morning It has all been That is a trend that is happening In modern mass competition today In the front page You look at a volume express You look at an island post Just look at it Is there anything which is worthy I think there is none Because our young journalists today Have wanted to do a recent trend Of what our traditions Or what our lawmakers are doing Difficult Difficult You have a smart phone If you have your watch and gross We should learn how at least To change To inform Can you Google and find out When you go home How much money has been Spent by the government In order resources To learn Of our road condition In mind That is why Mass communication today Is becoming very important To influence people The only tragedy is All the professionals Now in India Or worldwide All the Information technology Is being given out To brownie From us Let me give you one more example I was very sad When I went to Delhi To meet my old colleagues of journalists When the Okimaiteri The class started They were IT professionals They were social media professionals They were charging money To build websites To build contents To fight Can you imagine? Because they were paid By IT professionals Media professionals Hired by the community To send out the wrong information So that we continue to fight If I am not like that I hire some IT people from the rest of the world To give news to them But that group also sending news Long information And we keep fighting And this is a trend Of the modern youth They are paid And they can sell their soul Because they are paid And that is a kind of a recent trend That is happening When the elections begin Last elections They hired me for a political party They were willing to pay any amount And do their publicity I like the money But I refused that job Because I was not happy Because you will be telling a lot of wrong things to the people I did not do it But some people did it Because they wanted that money You decide Whether you want to do a bad thing For a wrong information To continue or not My basic observation today Is to endure for the mass communication That they would be As you graduate As you do your post-graduation You handle Mass communication To inform people At least to inform people For a change Whether it is culture Whether it is education Or whether it is your own society Or even the government process That is not happening From start from now And see what is supposed to happen And it has not happened And you are very educated people Once you go you will see what is not happening That is something that we have to consciously build Where our society Our government All those people who are in the hell of power Should know that young people are thinking And they should know that That is wrong Not just to blindly follow Or drugs though Anyone around You see drug users Around this area Drug There are people Who are trying to save this item To the students When I was in the city As a young student Drugs came to my own hostel Can you imagine I was in our hostel The drugs would reach our hostel Because if they once catch Two or three customers And the market is open Some of us became users And they would push through And fight That Your generation will continue In Manipur every household Open my ears as a drug user Any community Any locality One family is affected Because of this Because Those people who are selling it They have huge profit And they have no moral They have no moral They are conscious because Some of my relatives also died here When I see this You know When I finished my class 10 We are the mediocre When you finish your class 10 We are just one of those 16% We get 60% Class 12 We get little 60 They were friends Who had 90% Both in class 10 and in class 12 Many of them died because of this And many educated people Who would have been wonderful people They died because of drugs And today In Manipur I see no church I see no youth community You know when there are some Events happening in Nabilet The youths are very active for good reason But They do not unite something For a cause which they see as the most That is a set part of our society today I am not asking for immediate justice You know Those who are selling victim or whatever it is But as a community We are not there to defend When these things come That is why we always Will have to go back To the basic concept of mass communication Where you should be able To reach out to people with your own thoughts First thing I think you should know is You should never think straight Ask questions The moment a youth stops asking questions That is the first step To failure for the communication Please ask questions Within yourself You are a youth As long as you ask questions Whether you are 60 years old 70 years old You keep asking questions And having a little bit of Within you Otherwise The whole system of getting educated Becomes the worst enemy Of our social structure This is precisely what We have seen in many of the Societies in the North Eastern region We are influenced By the West We are influenced by other things At the same time I think it is very important Because I have been coming to One village for almost 5-6 years Do to witness That becomes a museum Museum is something That you keep in the room And go and see So I was telling some of my friends That your on-room festival is a museum I think the museum Is about zoo People think that you know People are coming to see the zoo And find I think the objective of the elders Of Marlith was to have hold For the young guys to get the idea Of what our ancestral values Are And imbibe those philosophies And retain them Not process Visual impacts I should end here Thank you so much I do not know in the process Of trying to say something Calling you Indians Not me but that philosopher That philosopher Anyway thank you so much I would love to be here I am currently here Because I am writing a book On the Malabu movement Up to 1975 And I am interviewing 360 people Worker of 80 For the For the book Because I am not going What I am going to write That book based on their Memory What exactly they have shown What they have said in the meantime I am not referring to anybody Though I was reading a book And very fortunately I am writing the biography Of Sarasic Javit There were many applicants Who wanted to write his biography Luckily in the lottery I won I am writing his biography The deadline is Beginning of 2026 So I keep on Interacting with him And now he has given Three days Today at four o'clock Tomorrow and the hour tomorrow So I will sit with him for two hours And listen to his conversation Then I write down And he is a wonderful man Sarasic Javit He says Many people don't like me He says If you are a leader People have a right to like you But I think from Nagaland On both leaders I think to be a Governor of five six states from Nagaland Nothing has happened in the North East From Manipur there is no governor Manipur there is no governor Yes there has been Nagaland The country has Recognized him as a statesman As a leader and he became a governor Of so many states also Can you imagine being the governor Orisa Maharashtra So he was the governor So I am lucky I hope During my tenure as a research In Nagaland maybe I will Get some opportunity to share Some of his thoughts with him I am still learning from him There has been a learning process Of the Nagaland culture And what was the Idea in the When twenties Thirties, forties, fifties, sixties And what have changed today So I will try my best To reflect that particular age Of nineteen fifties and sixties In my research work So that is what presently I am going I am reading now And I Need to study also because I am a different society And I would not like to reflect Something That would be wrong Because when you write a book I don't want some errors to happen So I am also working hard In that process I will also give your help As a response
