Insuring Life ! just like that
By Pi Ninglun Hanghal
It is always worth it and gives a “kick” to interact with some of the best minds in India. Walking down with this gentleman on a cool evening of March, one of the best seasons of the year, along the lanes of Dwarka talking on issue ranging from North East India – people in the metros and in the region. The discussion obviously went down to the political process and systems and institutions. And comes the Judiciary, the long drawn process, the crowed court rooms and the 3-4 feet high piles of very very old files in the court room Lo! This gentleman said “there were rows of people waiting for insurance claims in the court in India” People who are already dead, their near and dear one claiming the insurance, where most of them had to literally fight and at times lost the battle.
An NGO I am associated with recently send me information that a six years savings scheme was made for me. While I am no longer associated with the said NGO, the gesture did come a little late. The said 'scheme' was supposed to be a technical process of the financial dealings and transactions. And one wonders how and why such dealings can still be made when one is no longer part of that system. Once an agent came over to me and explained to me that I will get an x amount of money if I go for this scheme or that. I told him that If I have money I could save money in my own way, one simple way is in bank accounts. And I also told him that I need money now and not after 20 or 30 years. I want to enjoy life now not after I am old !. Most of these schemes will mature after a minimum of 10-20 years. Will it be significant after so many years? At times this ‘savings’ or in better term ‘insurance’, specially the health insurance do really look funny at times, unless you are sick , you cannot enjoy the benefit !! Unless you met with an accident ( God forbid) , can you draw out your insurance ? Often I hear people marry off their children ( more than once) just to draw out some of their "schemes”. Or do they also say one of their relative or a family member is hospitalized? or died ? even when they not ? There is a story in Mizoram. Pu Thangkura was a jobless – good for nothing fellow. Those who are worried about him. His uncle suggested that the Army service would be an ideal job for him and that was actually the only job opportunity for him. During those days, nobody wanted to be a soldier, so anyone willing to join were taken in without any ‘qualification’. In an attempt to convinced and motivate Pu Thankura, his Uncle explained the benefits of joining the Army. He said “ if you become a soldier , you will fighting for the nation. All facilities, from food to house will be free. Besides this you can save your salary apart from the usual benefits, you can have a good life after you retire” the Uncle went on “ in case you die , your immediate family will still enjoy the benefit”. Pu Thangkura was in tears “ You guys want to enjoy out of my sweat..I will earn and save and you all are planning to enjoy from my saving.. And you want me to die fighting? So that you all will enjoy the money out of my dead body ?” J Perhaps Pu Thangkura is right !

O'wish of mine
Who on earth does not have wishes
Rich or Poor we had our own wishes
Indeed some wish came true while some are not
I do have a wishes too like everybody else
My wishes didn't came true
Or maybe its too early to tell
Or I didn't deserve my wishes at all
If its came true will i be happy with that
If its came true will i suffocated more
Only God knows which wishes to fullfill
Becarefull what you wish for
Rich or Poor we had our own wishes
Indeed some wish came true while some are not
I do have a wishes too like everybody else
My wishes didn't came true
Or maybe its too early to tell
Or I didn't deserve my wishes at all
If its came true will i be happy with that
If its came true will i suffocated more
Only God knows which wishes to fullfill
Becarefull what you wish for

O' Churachandpur (Lamka)
Quoting popular introduction, Churachandpur (sic) was the most peaceful district in Manipur, officially and acknowledged by the inhabitants and those from outside as well. Indeed it was true. At least 10-schedule tribe with various non-tribals resides in the district without any breaking news or ‘headlines’ to be reported on violence and killing or worst communal violence. But that was history now and fondly remembered by many, as ‘those were the days’.
In terms of development and growth the district was recorded to be more advance than the others specifically the district headquarter town. Sadly enough, life was fast and ‘modern’. The town was infamous for modern diseases like HIV / AIDs. Since post independence and beginning of the 70s, people have slowly underwent a process of change in terms of socio – economy. In the late 90s and ever since the clash of the ‘ethnic brothers’ in 1997, the town and its surroundings became the hot spot of communo – ethnic war zone. Along with, this decade also saw the emergences of political consciousness among the tribal groups in the district.
This political consciousness have originated basically from experiences of social exclusion and concept of nationalism / nation building brought in by education. This was further aggravated by the fear of losing control over resources, as community resources ownership was no longer possible in the modern governance system. For administrative conveniences and easy management of the ‘backward people’, tribals were classified into various ‘recognized tribes’ with nomenclatures on the basis of language, traditional dress etc. Thereby serving as tribal identity and the tribals too identify themselves based on these classifications. Subsequently as a tribal, the need to emphasized and protect ‘identity’ becomes so strong that it led to an extent of militarizing themselves to stand as a distinct tribal group.
Many have written and talked about Churachandpur limping back to normal and is picking up the pieces of the post ethnic violence. Yet, it is quite evident that the scare of the ethnic violence still remains and the after effect seems to breed more ‘conflict’. Whatever was there, both the social order and development paused ever after ‘97. The once upon a time happening town became still and lifeless. Five o’clock in the morning is too early, and five o’clock in the evening is late, and by 6 p.m the whole town is as silent as a graveyard. The only difference is that in a graveyard you can hear sounds of the souls, while in this town one can hear sounds of bullets amidst silences. Issues such as conflict and communal topics became too hot to be discussed (and if you dare touch, it burns you). At times the sounds of silence were too loud.
Rs 20 crore vanished in thin air with the recent decision of the government to withdraw the mini secretariat project due to the tussle among the public leaders over the location to set up the building. The project was drop but was diverted as the project money was already sanctioned (as per media report). Drop the project, was the best decision the Government could come up with, simple..!.and that was the conflict management strategy from the side of the authorities represented by public leaders, caretakers of secular democracy. In this particular decision the common mass will never come to know where it was diverted and for what other purpose the money has gone. It was always opined that conflict have always been propagated by the non-state actors, specifically in this part of the state, where communal violence was understood as an act of some underground activities. It is true to a certain level that the armed groups propagate communal tension. But here the interesting part is the tussle between the ‘community leaders’.
Some of the models of conflict resolutions or conflict management include use of police force or military forces, giving more autonomy to certain sections, negotiations with outfits in armed conflict areas and one of the most common in regions like North East India is through development packages.
The main reason, which the Government has provided in the case of the mini secretariat project, was the public leaders. Here the government and the civil society working on conflict could now add one more strategy that is resolution through leaders, say, “management of community leaders”. Another important aspect in tribal areas is the local governance system like the village council, of which many believed that issue such as conflict could very well be settled by the village council. But, of course provided village council still does exist today.
