For all of us, it is not just important but imperative to realize that there is a genius/ personal power with in us which can make us do things beyond the realm of possibility for most people. Most do not discover that the mind is powerful and limitless - capable of achieving the unthinkable feat and overcoming hurdles which for layman falls under domain of called the "impossible". The possibility of expanding the mental capability or leveraging the mental horizon is limitless. The assumption that the mind is inelastic and limited is not always true. But only a few fortunate minds discover its limitless capability.

Genius of the ilk of Einstein is said to have used only 10% of his brain, think of the possibility of leveraging the rest 90%. And if you are among the few to have already found the mind to be otherwise from the general conception of the mind having fixed limit or capacity! You are fortunate, for those who haven’t; this article could help you see the mind in a different light! For starters, I would suggest you set an impossible target of reading book (DD BASU constitution of India or one of your course books) in one day flat! 16 hours nonstop reading! Sounds crazy but experiences and research findings shows it’s possible and many have done it! Exams, such as the one’s in top B schools’ such as IIMS & FMS etc , leave most students with little or no time for preparation, at most they hardly get a day to complete preparation for a course paper, still most come out good in their exams. Be adventurous enough to try something you have never thought possible or do a new thing to kindle your hidden ipower.

Now, let us explore how mental capabilities extend to limitlessness. Some exams really test your mental capabilities and once you break the barrier and come out successful leaves you confident of breaking the mental barrier again and again; something akin to breaking the gravitational pull when an astronaut leaving for space experienced. If you have a positive attitude and think “I CAN”; sure enough, you are already on your way to accomplish what you once feel was an impossible task. And having gone through this process of learning, you gain an insight into the hidden mind power and learn a trick or two on effective and efficient learning methods! In other words its means you learn more in less time. Let me try to put in place a few necessary external drivers that enable one to reach a threshold level of mental performance.
. A very demanding situation say an exam – the stakes
are high, failure would mean irreparable loss of reputation
or career.
. The WILL to make it or Will to succeed
. An environment conducive, otherwise create supportive or enabling environments
. Adequate rest to renew or refresh your mind and body, for example Catnaps in between study since you will need to study for a longer stretch
. Set goals & target higher than previous achieved goals, but make it SMART – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound! This period of high mental performance has been a phenomenon most students and learners experience; however, to sustain that level of peak level of performance in normal situation is difficult. But somehow if researchers could find a way to attain perpetual high level of mental alertness and capacity that student experience during exams when they are capable of absorbing, learning, retaining at the faster pace under the influence of external drivers above in contrast to learning rates under normal times when most students finds it difficult to go through a chapter and retained the same; the way we learn and civilization itself would make a quantum leap. Under trying circumstance students have even completed a whole book! And sportsmen have been reported to raise the level of performance on the D-day or a finale. Think about it. Some attribute it to rising hormone levels or simply inspiration - the will to achieve. Findings from a research project in human psychology have shown most persons use less than 10% of his brain in his lifetime. Genius of the like of Einstein used a little more than 10%. The crux of the matter is how much percentage of the brain you and I use.

Observations on people under trying circumstance shows that unused parts of the brain gets activated and unharness potential finds an outlet which enable persons to overcome obstacles and mental barrier previously felt. Of course, a little luck and the Omnipotent God’s help counts a lot more than we realized. Therefore, prayer for the devoted and concentration techniques used by skeptics have help a lot many to regain and remain focused towards the goal and trudge through the arduous journey with hope and positive attitude and eventually make the seemingly impossible, possible. So, cross your fingers and a say a little prayer, it wouldn’t hurt you.

Analyzing why we limit our mental capabilities and set a limit to what is possible and what is not could possibly stem out from our prior experiences and observations; and the formal ways of learning. Criticism on our present formal rigid mode of learning also called formal education have killed the thinking man instead it has become an industrial machine churning out identical clones with similar thought patterns and ways of life only fit for industrial set ups or the matrix world with structures we know today. Most students are made to go through formal courses in pursuit of specialization, which has resulted in lost of their freedom to pursue their interest and attain the potential within! Blindly following the formal forms of learning could lead to loss of the indomitable spirit of “I CAN” which we believe is the basic ingredient in one’s success in life. Some prefer to call the “I Can spirit” as CONFIDENCE powered by inspiration. We urge student still pursuing their studies to think on what’s the problem they want to solve and choose their area of specialization or course with that in mind; and for once, try out divergent and creative thinking! For all of you who would be sitting for the competitive exams such as Mains 2010, TECH Chapaz Resource Team extends our best wishes. Some tried and tested tips listed below could be valuable in your preparation for the exam and especially for those who have very less time for preparations, forget your worries and try
this for better results.
1. Scan contents, main meanings
2. Know the terms/glossary
3. Always study actively what can it do for me (Valuedadd service)
4. Make brief notes on important points
5. Read through summary n think on what you read! (for eleventh hr. students)
And more …. Be an ACTIVE LEARNER! find your own techniques, it’s a unique way – the “Do” as in
Taekwon –do- … you own unique self-discovered approach combined with learning style incorporating
some of the tried and tested methodology.

Introduction: Hark! All ye Kut lovers, awake. Chavang Kut took its birth in Sadar Hills. Later on, we call it Kut, and some say Miss Kut. We may give any other new name but, most important is the kind of mental attitude we have for it. I say Kut would be meaningful only when we celebrate it without any socio-culture and political division among us. Thomas Ground has been Kut venue for both district and state level in the past few years. Once again district level Kut committee has chosen it for this year’s kut venue. It is a place which I could not take away from my weak memory due to the fact that I attended one of my memorable Kut over here.

Jubilant Kut for all: For Kut celebration then, we managed to leave Imphal for Thomas Ground, the proposed Kut venue. After reaching, we met more friends in different shapes and sizes. Some of them were greeted with honour of seats on stage. Some had been flocked together only to find their names written on chairs by themselves in the openfield.

I was just one among the crowd. Those were the days when I promised not to miss a glimpse of Kut Miss. In any direction of Kut venue, be it district or state level, I had been there in time. That was the implantation of myself to enjoy my youth in a memorable way. I felt Kut was for a person like me young, dynamic and adventurous. I enjoyed because I was innocent and young. Kut for young, Kut for me! This kind of event was much awaited with greater enthusiasm by most teenagers just because of the beauty pageant at evening session. It is no strange to say that the pressure on youngsters to experience sweet moments of selecting MISS KUT was enormous. Declaration of Miss Kut was the most awaited moment of wild excitement even for the oldest men of the evening session. I knew where I stood. I was in the crowd, standing till my back-bone became chilled in the windy (...breezy wind winding from nearby foot-hills) cold
night. I stood firm in the midst of people who pushed and brushed heavily against each other. Mental anxiety and physical strain I had undergone remain unnoticed. However, every single activity I was engaged in, and emotion I felt, whether it’s wild excitement, battling hard against spine-chilling weather, suffering loss of sleep and great passion for skin-deep BEAUTY CONTEST were known to be spices of kut celebration. No doubt, hobnobbing was my greatest activity. In no time I moved towards NH-39 and saw all types of vehicles (Two-wheeler and four wheeler of any making)coming one after another from Imphal. Many revelers from Imphal had better definition about Kut and expressed their enjoyment than local kutters ( Tah chanu-Tah
chapa) Kut was then a real fun and good for Imphal-ites.Womenfolk’ strikes alcoholic revelers: Apart from dedicated volunteers, women in groups emerged in and around Thomas Ground to fight against those who disturbed peace by creating chaotic situation. Within a matter of minutes I witnessed pouncing movement of hefty womenfolk against street heroes. Most of these heroes were in their teens. They are creating evils under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When they are beaten up with the help of stick by womenfolk, they still refused to admit their wrong doings. It was no disgrace for these revelers to commit wrongful act. Kut was not an enemy at least for this reveler. Rather they had fallen in love with the celebration of it and the BEAUTY PAGEANT.

The other face of Kut: Musical entertainment from popular band and legend singers exhibit calm and relaxed atmosphere to a great extent for those under nineteen-year (19 yr). I looked at the youngsters ( ...under twenties ) scattered in and around coffee and snacks stall put up for the night, they chanted liiiiii hohoho.....and really enjoyed as if they were celebrating the last kut of their life. Kut was in a state of chaos and tense situation. Most of the heroes who staged fleeting drama were none other than outsiders! Their intended kut spirit was all for drinks and drugs! Kut was the craze for them! Many enjoy the evening (....not necessarily the kut ) with partners inside stuffy cars, coffee hut and at other isolated places. For many,s outside happenings were really exhilarating and memorable dramatic events. Cynosure of the evening: “Woman is the parent of luxury”. Every normal person wants to live a luxurious life. In other words everyone wants to see beautiful girls on stage with scanty dresses. Do you really have a craze for Miss Contest? I wish you can easily give answer by visualizing one of the sexy scenes of any Miss contest. When the most awaited dazzling Beauty Contest began, everyone moved closer to witness beautiful girls parading down the ramp.

There were more than twenty-five candidates vying for the Miss Crown. There was an introductory session of the contestant to the sudden-swelling crowd, and highlighting their ethnic dresses as they walked down the ramp in style. The smartness and elegance of the contestants not only captured the imaginative mind of the crowd but also give joy to every kutters. No doubt Miss Kut Contest was a time of great moments even for VVIPs on stage. Some judges were appointed for the miss contest by virtue of their official status. Such appointed judges could not give marks fairly because their experience and expertise in official work in public offices were totally different from that of any Miss Contest or Miss Kut Contest. Consequently, Miss Kut Contest was marred with corruption to some extent that no genuine candidate won the Miss Crown. This has been happening till today. Think if corruption is like cancer! It will just grow and multiply within no time, and invade the honest minds of the panel of judges or committee (if not the whole population.) A thought of it should not occur (eventhough we blindly say it (corruption) is in the system of things) in the minds of those who matter in judging and tallying hard-earned marks of the innocent contestants. Either fair or not, catwalk on the ramp brought wrinkle-free smile to VVIP’s on stage. The final round had finished with immense heartache for many youngsters ( including parents and close friends of the contestants )as their loved ones failed to make it.If my memory is still intact Miss Kut title goes to the one sweet 16-year-old blue eyed, a blonde, milky-white complexion who suddenly turned to be a heartthrob for many kutters. Whether she (Miss Kut) was a woman of beauty with brain became a topic to be discussed for those having small minds.

Kut and its spirit: A vision is an aim for the welfare and advancement of society, state or Nation. Without any
argument, Kut was organised by effective and inspirational leaders with a vision of how we could stand unitedly for a cause. Their visionary zeal had inspired young leaders to focus on “Kut for unity”. As a leader they tried their level best to achieve peace and unity amongst the Chin-Kuki-Mizo. On kut day, thousands of people under their leadership gathered together to give thanks to the living almighty God for a blessed harvest at the year-end..It was also a cultural-show-day with people from all walk of life come together without ism or igo. We displayed our unique identity and oneness before the world through cultural dances. I wonder whether or not today’s Kut celebration could symbolize unity, progress and development of Chin- Kuki-Mizo people.

Remorseful Kut for many children of proud parent: No matter how colorful or VIPs -( Very insecure person )
stuffed celebration, for many it was an evening of heavy drinks, overdose and deep regret. Evening session of Kut did not hold any gainful interests except for those who enjoyed with their evening potion. Youngsters of the evening were more interested in other activity than any happenings on stage. For that night, they thought they had turned historic Thomas Ground into Manipur’s paradise. Will 2010 Kut at Thomas Ground be a dejavu?

INTRODUCTION
The people now inhabiting Mizoram, the tribes in the hills of Manipur other than the Naga dominant areas, the Kukis of Nagaland, Assam, Tripura and Chittagong hill tracts of Bangladesh, and the people in the Northwest of Myanmar (Burma) are the tribes who have been professing observance of various kinds of KUT festivals from time immemorial. They all practice jhum (slash and burn) cultivation as the mainstay of economy and grew millet, corn, job’s ear, cucumber, pumpkins and such others as their staple foods prior to their entry into Myanmar.

Such contentions cannot, however, be substantiated as to the truth of the claims. These are more of legends
than of historical facts. They are of conjectural work. In fact, their hoary past is shrouded in mystery. Nevertheless, the fact remains that these people have been observing Kut festivals for generations.

These people commonly claim to have come “out of the bowels of the earth, a cave called Chhinlung or Sinlung or Khul, believed to be in China”. One of the authorities on Kukis, Lt. Col. Shakespeare, in his book on “The Lushai Kuki Clans” said that they were of many clans, each clan speaking different dialect and scattering over an aea of 25,000 square miles. The then Governor of Assam, Sir Robert Reid, in hisbook on “ history of frontier areas bordering Assam” said that these people who claimed to have come out of the bowels of the earth are the people who speak dialects of the same language. Similarly, Dr Grierson, a linguist, said that they belonged to the Tibeto-Kuki sublinguistic group in his book: Linguistic survey of India”

ORIGIN
In the olden days, the people who observed Kut festivals were not aware of the existence of the great religions of the world, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism etc. Thus, as were true in all cases
of other antiquated societies, these groups of people were atheists, animists or naturists. In any form of these
worships, certain objects as sources of life and of other worldly nature were attributed.

Their belief was, therefore, associated either with animate or inanimate objects as the sources of all powers that gave life to mankind with abundance of blessings if particular aspects of life was made subservient to it. Likewise, when the said supernatural object was believed not satisfied or was displeased, all sorts of evil fortunes were attributed to it. With this end in view, the people worshipped the objects with certain prescribed rituals in propitiation.

In order to appease not to harm mankind or to praise such objects for the blessings received, propitiations of
supposed supernatural objects for the benefit and welfare of the community was performed by socially acceptable persons to mediate between the people and the objects attributed as supernatural. Such person who officiate performance of the rituals was considered “holy man” and was also called the “Village Priest”. Such activities that interceded between the supernatural object and the society being of collective welfare in nature, observance of certain occasions as Kuts and the rituals associated therewith were essentially of community in nature. Rites and rituals gave strong elements of ethnic affinity and influence on their social cohesion and solidarity. It also symbolized the integrating force among the members of community, cutting across tribal boundaries and linguistic differences.Thus, observance of different kinds of Kut is originated form the worship of various objects considered as supernatural associated with good and evil attirbutes of life. Prof. A R Radcliffe Brown and Emille Durkheim said that the principle functions of communal rituals were to emphasize and to reaffirm the sentiments of collective loyalty. The purpose of such festive functions was to create a sense of identity and social solidarity reinforced by the performance of communal rituals, which expressed social content, and behavior of a group.

The means of subsistence of the people who observed Kut festival was agricultural products. Annual communal feasts manifested the type of economy being pursued by the society. The glaring fact that they lacked the concept of saving in their economic system was could be observed from the practice of conspicuous consumption through the various Kuts in festivity and communal rituals in propitiation to the deities of Kuts.

Also an important aspect that is associated inseparably with Kut festivals was religiosity of the occasions
that stemmed from obeisance and incantation to the creator of all things, which preceded the celebration. Kut festival is in thanks giving to the almighty, creator of the universe who blesses the people through the deities of various crops cultivated in olden days of variegated and sectional ones. However, there are some Kut festivals common to all tribes. They are:
i. Mim Kut (job’s ear)
ii. Chang Kut (of paddy Kut)
iii. Pawl Kut (of guava harvest)
iv. Thai-Thakor Thah Kut (of new crops)
Hence, as the name suggest, Kut observance is inevitably done with the arrival of the new crops or after harvesting as the case may be. The basic concept behind such observance is therefore, that the toiling community has to have a short respite and recreation after the year’s hard work has been reaped and before
the new-year’s work is begun. It is also an occasion when the village community praise God for the blessings
given to them.

The religious rites that preceded the Kut celebration are officiated by the “holy man” called the “Village Priest” who intercedes for the villagers to the deities of the Kuts concerned. Observance of Kuts by the
many forefathers was marked by many significant rituals. Some salient features are given as follows:
In the early hour of the morning of Kut, the man incharge of information of the village called “Tangsampa”
or “Lhangsampa” or “Tualteekpu” etc., would herald the advent of Kut, shouting aloud, throughout the village lanes with the words,
“The sun rises, the sun rises.
The sky is clear, the sky is clear”.
and would enter every household arming himself with a burning torch of firewood in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, saying, as he walks along the village lanes,” Your days are over, you evil spirit!
Be gone from our midst and let us be with wife and children.We are sick of your filthy waste”. Having performed his part, he will hand over the proceedings to the “Village Priest”. Then the “Village Priest” shall arrange jars of ‘Ju’ (rice beer) for all the villagers to sip and shall intercede for all the villagers to the deities of harvests.

The common ritualistic rites, for this purpose are the offerings of a cock and a bowl of rice placed at the altar
of the deities. The neck of the cock is throttled and cut with a sharp knife, and that the blood that oozes out
there from are strewn on the altar and on the powdered rice.

Thereafter, the village priest shall start sipping the ‘Ju’ from the jar prepared for the occasion. Te priest shall spit out the first mouthful of Ju he thus sipped, which is called ‘Juphi’ (spraying of the Ju) in symbolic offering to the deities. He then shall invite the chief of the village, followed by the eldest villager present to start sipping of the Ju-bout. The sipping-bout continues by turn till the last person. With it, the celebration commences being followed soon by drinking, singing, merry-making, dancing, sporting and feasting. It is time when even the poorest man of the village forgets his state of poverty.

GROWTH
With the passage of time, contacts with outside of their own homogeneous communities catered into the fabric of their social life. People who observed such Kut festivals became aware of the world beyond their won small community. Gradually, western education began to take roots followed by Christianity that propagated to dispense with hitherto known ‘culture and tradition’. Ultimately, when increasing number of people started embracing Christianity; the customary observance of Kut became less and less important and ignored, culminating into complete abandonment of the same. People have almost forgotten even the existence of such a ‘cultural heritage’ as the Kut festivity.

Identity of a community is known by the rich cultural heritage and perpetuation thereof. Rapid vanishing
of the age-old tradition and direction placed the resurgent generation at a loss, and it became aware of the vacuum created by such abandonment of the Kut culture due to Christianity. It was dreaded that with such relegation of the rich cultural heritage into oblivion, posterity would be at the cross road of life. It was found that there was no conflict whatsoever between Christianity and culture and tradition. The two could go hand in hand without conflict. While the part of “Village Priest” can be appropriately substituted by the role of a Christian Priest, the glamour of Ju and its resultant pleasantries can be replaced by tea and the snacks, fun and frolics of all kinds. More innovations can be incorporated into the system retaining the intrinsic social values.

Modernized items, such as beauty contests and fashion shows are changes that have been woven into
the new fibers of Kut culture. Likewise, with a view to harmonizing the festival with modernity and new way of life which are completely divorced from the traditional homogeneous village life, the many Jut festivals observed in the days of yore have been modeled into a single occasion of Kut as on November 1 of every year. Prof. Radcliffe Brown contends that such changes reflect the changing aspects of society signifying creation of new aspects in the form of new traditions of redefinition of an old one.

CONCLUSION
Tradition and culture should not be static. It must be dynamic in its growth, assimilating what good things have been provided by a living society, absorbing local and outside elements in the vibrant whole so as to enter into uncharted arena to make it possible to withstand the winds of change from all directions without the original framework and values being sacrificed as the altar of change and dynamism.

You’ve heard before. “Success is a state of mind. Some say that success is the result of luck, while others profess to be the result of careful planning, preparation and of course, targeted action. Yes, it is somewhat true, but you’ll also see that there are exceptions to this rule.

How many times have you heard of two people who attempt the same goal of having one of them succeed?
Have you ever wondered why it is so? It may be luck, or timing or even toughness. Perhaps, but in more cases than not, it’s state of mind of the person who is the determining factor of whether the result is failure or
success.

So what is a state of mind? In most cases, this refers to the prevailing mood on a daily basis. This is believed
to focus on and expects their daily experiences. When we generally think negative thoughts, expects the worst
or is pessimistic about life, then that is exactly what will be attracted into their lives. In contrast, with positive
thoughts and a successful mindset, you expect the best and focus on positive, and yes, you’ll earn more if not
all the time.

This seems logical. But then, you may wonder how it works, or why a mindset of success is so important.
A state of mind success is crucial if we are to achieve the life we want for many reasons, but here are three
more crucial.

1) A mind-set success boosts your confidence and selfconfidence.
When you have a lack of confidence in yourself afeeling of helplessness and worthlessness usually comes with it, and that’s exactly the opposite of an exploitation of a mind-set for success. Lack of trust means that you can not think of even attempting to be
a success because it simply can not or for you. Clearly, this type of mindset is a recipe for failure for any
business.

Having a true success mind-set of, on the other hand, means that you have complete confidence in you and
your abilities. You think you can succeed at almost anything you try, and you’re ready to give it your best
shot. And as you strive more and more, more trust and confidence you build in yourself – until you’re practically unstoppable!

2) A mind-set of success strengthens your resolve.
When you do not have a mind-set for success, one failure is enough to convince you that the pursuit of your
goal is a waste of time. Tenacity and determination are not present in your world. When you do not become
a phenomenal success on your first attempt, you assume that just was not meant to be. Unfortunately, few
things of value are obtained so easily!

A success mind set, however, strengthens your awareness that failure is not the end of history – the feedback you get told you it one more way that does not work on the way you ‘had planned. In fact, a real mind-set for success, it is clear that the only true failure occurs when you stop trying.

3) A mind-set of success encourages successful actions.
Have you ever found yourself either confused or wandering around in circles because you do not know
how best to address a specific purpose? Maybe you had an idea of the best course of action, but you felt
intimidated by some of the action steps. Therefore, you can sabotage your efforts have kept you looking
for an easier way or less frightening to your goal.

With a true success mind-set, you’ll always know the most effective action that will lead directly to achieving your goal. You’ll also have the inner confidence and determination to pursue them – which is a recipe for . . . you guessed it, success!

To develop a successful mind you need to incorporate the following ten qualities:
1. Reach your dreams and endeavor
2. Think
3. Believe in yourself
4. Believe you can do better
5. Learn, grow and develop constantly
6. Be prepared to take risks
7. Write any
8. Expect the best in each situation
9. Be prepared not to
10. When you fall, get up and try again
By following the above strategies, you will not only feel more successful from the inside, but your results
are more consistent with those of a person with a mindset success.

Dr. H.H. Mate
To bring up children in the ways they should go, learn to obey before you command and teach them by example rather than by instruction.

Learn to listen, learn to ask questions and know the problem. Distinguish sense from non-sense. Accept change as unavoidable and be calm and smile so that you will work better and learn more. Think, speak and
act nobly and humbly. Do your duty at the right time. Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today,
except when you have to do or say a thing harmful to others.

There are 12(twelve) ways to bring up children:-
1. Teach values such as honesty, integrity, patience and self control gradually and steadily, that too by your
own examples.
2. Praise them openly and often at home and in school.
3. Advise them gently to correct their bad behaviour and manners.
4. Teach them self-esteem and self- confidence at home and in school.
5. Restrict television watching and recreation time at home.
6. Keep a watch on your children’s company frequently.
7. Keep them away from intoxicants like alcohol and drugs etc.
8. Maintain a happy and loving home environment.
9. Give a lot of your time to your children, both quality and quantity.
10. Make humour and laughter a part of your relationship with children.
11. Allow the children to grow and learn through the mistakes they make,
12. Communicate gently but clearly and firmly, get your point across.

Follow the above twelve ways at the ways at the right time. Be doers of thy words, not the nearer only. So
that you will bring up your children in the right path which is well pleasing to the Lord. We see around us
many parents and teachers who are fully responsible to bring up the children in the schools and at home.
Only few parents and teachers know and understand their own responsibilities and at the same time dis-charge their duties so as to earn the grace of God. The tragedy on the part of many parents and teachers is that they know their responsibility but they do not put into practice at home and in the school for the love of children. That is why; today’s children are not obedient to their parents and teachers in the society. This awkward manner of children has become a stumbling block to others, too.

Parents and teachers should be examples to children. Today most of the parents do not understand who they are and what they have to do. In the same way some teachers of the schools do not know and understand their qualifies and personalities and thereby create unwanted atmospheres in the schools before the children/students. When children are not taught and controlled properly at home and in the school they imitate what their parents and teachers are doing. So, if we are to bring up children in the right ways we should be good examples to them at home and in the school at any time, the most beautiful in this world is LOVE , the most saddest is FORGOTTEN and the warmed if FRIENDSHIP . But the cruel is Revenge. Out of these four words, we should holy tightly LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP and should try to avoid” Forgotten and Revenge” so that the most peaceful word “ Tranquil” will be with us at home and in school. Be active, happy and excited while teaching children but do not be too anxious to teach others.

If this article goes to the press and gets delivered to you, know that I had spent sleepless nights ru minating if I should be writing at all. The debate on the structure and institution of Kuki polity still rages on, and given that I have drawn flakes from different quarters for having an opinion on one such institutions - chieftainship- another commentary would not hurt more than it already has. I have reason to believe that my article titled "Chieftainship and Democracy" was not received very well by the elder generation. As for the "my generation', fortunately for me, even those who have diametrically opposite views are open to dialogue.

It is laudable to have a learned scholar living in England to give us an in-depth analysis and as sessment on the issue of territorial integrity of Manipur and more so, it is encouraging to have a retired army official version of this vexed issue facing the state at present, but unfortunately, we have none from the people who braved the ground real-ities.

It is not without reason that associational life is un derstood to be in the realm of civility. We may start to define and redefine civil society with little consensus given its ambiguity, but suffice to say that a whole range of associational life sandwiched between market and state is conveniently for analytical and all practical purposes referred to as civil society aka non-state, aka NGO. The article seeks to deliberate on the question "are civil societies in Manipur genuinely civil?" and making a case for the "perverse manifestation" of local Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), thereby questioning civil society as it exists. Let's set off with a hypothetical verdict that in multi ethnic Manipur, each ethnic community has started viewing the other as its enemy. In such a volatile situation, associations formed purely on ethnic lines are wont to generate parochial ethnic exigencies. Now remember that the idea of civil society was born in an attempt to democratise society from overbearing leviathan (state) and the unseen hand of mercantilism (market). Ethnic based civil organisations in such a scenario have tended to overlook the very basis of its survival democracy.
