Manoranjan Pegu’s Linguistic Misadventure

Manoranjan Pegu is trying to become a sonorous echo of the faint voices reflected from the distant mountain – which have no generative power of its own. As a result, he is presupposing so many things out of his ignorance, which are reflexive in his arguments. He has not overcome preliminary ideas, still being stuck with the introductory contents.

We think Manoranjan Pegu needs some introspection on the following points. For his benefit, we are pointing out some of his inadequacies that fall short of the discussions we had been so long engaged with, in the paragraphs cited below:

Youth of GenNext:

We often talk of progressive GenNext youth as the future of the Mishing society who will take the community and its language smoothly forward. Here, we always underline and stress upon the terms broad perspective, progressive outlook and looking forward attitude.

If Manoranjan Pegu does not fall himself within these parameters, he can not attach himself as “I am just one of those youth perhaps Mr. Peter Pegu is talking about”; it would merely be his self-appointment, a nom-de-plume. Regressive mindset, person in enclosed confinement, cave-man attitude and frog-in-a-well would not be a member of the innovative youth group we are imagining about.

Mising to Missing

Manoranjan Pegu does not believe Mising turns to missing. That is his problem – the Mishing community, as a whole, has nothing to do with one’s individual belief. He should keep personal belonging in his own pocket. For others, ‘mising’ and ‘missing’ are homophonous words with equal resonance, identical sonic frequency and uniform sound wave and as a result they are mutually exclusive.

Manoranjan Pegu is a hard nut to crack, even applied with somatic forces, who ‘maintains an argument that changing the spelling of Mising to Mishing’, that too without any convincing reason. The community is helpless to boil down such fruits to their edible form.

Mishing Diaspora

Outside of Assam, the Mishing identity does not ring a bell. Mishing population (students as well as employees and their families) in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other metropolitan cities of the country is counted with microscopic minority and practicing their native culture tends to infinitesimally zero. In the environment, the traditional custom has been dumped as non-practicing culture, despite boasting ourselves with ‘rich and colorful Mishing culture’. It is a ground reality.

Apart from own Mishing circle, they live under the broad protection of the Assamese umbrella and tell their native neighbours accordingly. In the process they establish a presentable identity and find a friendly equation with them (never disclose as Missing/Mising tribe). Within the Mishing circle, it makes no difference whether ‘the name’ is spelt as Missing or Mishing or Miching or Mising; these words have similar sounds in Mishing tongue and ear. Same argument is applicable to the Delhi Mishing Students’ Union.

Moreover, they enjoy busy moments in the metropolitan life. So, as Manoranjan found, ‘Majority of the people still either does not know about the debate or is not interested in it.’

Whims and fancies

Construction of orthography of a language never comes out of one’s whims and fancies, nobody does it. Rather, it is constructed invariably out of expertness - after attaining knowledge and command over the language as per linguistic theories. That comes again after long pursuance of the nitty-gritty of its word structure etc. Linguistics is a highly technical subject altogether and a full course in post graduate studies. It is the systematic study of language, its sounds, structure, meaning and function.

Applied linguistics is the use of linguistic theory to address real-world problems such as language education and research in phonology etc. Prof. Tabu Tawid and Prof. Nahendra Pahdun have extensive studies on the subject. In equal measure, I have in-dept study on linguistics and phonetics more than ten years. Out of my long training and experience, I have re-modeled (adoption of alphabets according to the existing phoneme in our speeches) Mishing Language Orthographic System on rationalization concept and put through it for experts’ comments. Whole system has been well-formatted and coded into the different sections of a standard grammar.

Here, whims and fancies do not come; the sections of the grammar speak. If someone does not agree with contents of the section he should come out scholarly pointing the shortcomings or its technical snags. So far no one could challenge. Mishing Society of Mumbai has been gainfully using the technique since 1996 with great advantage.

Authoritarian or dictatorial

The subject I know, know it thoroughly. I speak firmly, confidently, authentically and obviously authoritatively. Knowledge is the power. That does not mean that I am an authoritarian or dictatorial. It is a false and baseless accusation. Such insipid argument should come in a fine and constructive debate.

Spelling of Tawid

According to the spelling technique mentioned above and adopted by Mishing Society of Mumbai under rationalization concept, the spelling of Tawid, Pahdun, Pateer, Mohrang, Leegang, Bahne-Kebang etc. have been accepted as orthographically correct.

Here we reiterate, it is not Peter Pegu’s whims and fancies, it is being constructed as per the rule of the grammar. No question of giving freehand to Peter Pegu, he has to stay within the framework of various sections of the orthographic grammar adopted by Mishing Society of Mumbai.

Spelling progression

Manoranjan Pegu has unnecessarily informs us about the changes of Mishing language spelling system, as if Mishing Society of Mumbai is far away from those developments. For his information we state that though MAK sees us with red-eyes, treats us as their linguistic rivalry and enemy, we tract the developments very closely from various reliable sources. Our ways of dealing with the situation is we continue to write and keep a strong pen: pen with sharp nib and overflowing ink.

Conclusion

It is good, as Manoranjan Pegu owns up, “This issue creates a great interest to me”. We wish him best of luck. Gain more knowledge on the subject and come out scholarly and strongly. Do not talk ‘hawa-hawa’. Little learning is dangerous thing.

But for us, this is the concluding correspondence with Mr. Manoranjan Pegu. No further written communiqué will be made with him henceforth - unless and until he comes back fresh with background knowledge on the subject.

This measure is being taken to dissociate with the people who beats around the bush without substance.

Mishing Renaissance is grateful to Mr.Peter Pegu for the above article..

Land Alienation of Tribes in North East India

Land is the prime need for all human beings BUT unfortunately in North East India in the name of “Forest Policy” the Govt of India has acquired tribal land & is gradually pushing out the indigenous tribes out of their age-old habitats.

Every time the land of a tribal community has been acquired for some project of the Govt they have been paid “cash compensation” – realizing pretty well that they have no respect for cash & stacking a few rupees is not a part of the tribe cultural ethos.

Besides, while the land is acquired, if it is for an industry, there is a promise for a “job”, so when the tribes while away the “cash compensation” , they survive on a “promised job”, which is never delivered as the job offer is turned down citing that the tribes do not have sufficient skills. The land is lost forever & there are no jobs!

At the same time, certain politicians & agencies of the Govt have been very keen to facilitate settlement of Illegal Bangladeshis, this has created a lot of controversial issues & does not seem to end, though at the moment Assam & Tripura are the worst affected a trend of Bangladeshi illegal settlers moving to Manipur & Nagaland is being witnessed. The condition of the fencing of Indo-Bangladesh border is best left unsaid.

Today, Bangladeshi illegals are found almost in every part of the North East Region.

To preserve the unique cultural identity of the Tribes of North east India, the land alienation activities conducted under the supervision of the Govt, its officials & their agents must STOP with immediate effect!

If the Govt is keen to “develop” the tribes then its has to be done in a cautious way & taking into consideration the tribal way of functioning, their value systems, morals etc. Emphasis should be laid on overall socio-cultural development & not merely on material advancement.

Thus the Govt of India needs to address the land alienation issue when drawing up any “plans” or launching welfare “schemes” for tribal development.

Thanks & Regards

Bangladeshi illegal infiltration & North East India

Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars in the North East: FAQ

-------------------------------------------------------------

Who are the Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars?

Every day around 6,000 illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators cross the border and enter Assam, India.

If they are “Beggars”, how can these beggars be dangerous?

Many of these are Islamic militants with links to Al-Queda and other Muslim extremist groups who are operating in Bangladesh to take over Assam the militant Islamic way and create a “Kashmir” like situation through their “silent” jihad.

Why do the Beggars cross over to Assam, is it easy?
India has fenced parts of the 4,000-km border with Bangladesh, but officials say this has done little to deter migrants bent on leaving one of the world's poorest countries. Assam shares a 272 km porous border with Bangladesh, a vast stretch of which is unfenced.

What do these Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars do?
The beggars become farmhands or river fishermen in villages. In towns they are often construction workers or rickshaw pullers, and the women work as maids. Some beggars have succeeded in marrying the locals too. The “beggars” also beg for money door to door across Assamese towns posing as “local people” whose relatives are “coping” with “incurable” diseases. Usually they beg in groups of two and expect all the “group” members to be paid.

Why are they addressed as “Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars”?
Interesting question, “Bangladeshi” because they speak Bengali and poor Assamese and from the way they dress, a simple man can also make out that they are “Muslim” [skull caps and long beards], You can also spot them with the religious groans and “Beggars” because they beg!

How many of them are there in Assam?
Though there are no official’s figures of actual numbers of Bangladeshis in Assam, locals say their population could be six million of the state's 26 million people.

What has the Government done till this date?
A BIG NOTHING!!! The government and the students union signed a pact in 1985 for deportation of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, but believe it or not, clauses on the deportation of foreigners have still not been implemented. Twenty years of inaction is taking violent shape now.The Assam Accord is dusting itself in some beaureaucratic dustbin. Before we blame New Delhi let us understand that successive govts in Assam have also failed in their quest, and have now started using these Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars as Vote Banks.Right from beginning in order to get minority votes, the Congress led UPA Government in India have taken little steps to deport millions of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

Has the presence of these beggars affected the common people of Assam?
Yes, The local people in Assam have lost jobs, their cultural heritage and their national identity because of these beggars. Their hatred has finally manifested towards India and especially towards Indian citizens from West Bengal and Bihar.

How do we THE COMMON PEOPLE kick these beggars out?
The Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars will be kicked out only IF THE COMMON PEOPLE WISH TO KICK THEM OUT!!!!! The Government has failed miserably.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Save the North East Region, save our Identity. Let's take an oath ... no food, no job, no shelter to Bangladeshis" Starve the Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars and kick them out"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bangladeshis 'SMSed' out of Assam

An economic blockade enforced by a little known youth group in Upper Assam, the Chiring Chapori Yuba Mancha has forced thousands of illegal Bangladeshi settlers to flee, reports NDTV.com.

"Illegal immigrants have been one of Assam's biggest issues for the last two decades.But this time round there were no demonstrations, strikes or boycotts. Instead a campaign against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants is being carried out through SMS.

People are being told through cell phone messages to not give jobs or food to Bangladeshis.As a result of a campaign that began on April 15, thousands of Bengali Muslim labourers and rickshaw pullers have been leaving the town of Dibrugarh."
