Northeast leads in terror casualties but Central eyes on J&K

India- composed of thousands of tribes is experiencing different types of national or regional movements. Among them, some of the notable movement by an insurgent group is Jamu and Kashmir. While the Central government pay a maximum attention in the hill state of J&K, casualties due to insurgency is maximum in the opposite site i.e. the North East of India. As reported by IANS.

India's restive northeastern region saw the maximum number of fatalities in terror strikes in 2008, surpassing Jammu and Kashmir in the latest figures released by an independent security think tank.

The northeast, particularly Assam and Manipur, has turned into a veritable killing field with the region accounting for 1,057 deaths compared to 539 casualties in Kashmir in the past year.

According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), a New Delhi-based security analysis agency, Assam reported 372 fatalities while the death toll in Manipur was 500, second only to Kashmir, which recorded 539 deaths.

The SATP figures show that the total number of deaths in the northeast has increased from 640 in 2006 to 1,057 in 2008.

And most of the casualties in the northeastern states like Assam, Manipur, and Tripura were in towns and cities with urban terrorism rearing its ugly head in a new trend.

Manipur, the state where I hail from produce(s) almost fifty insurgent groups. SATP listed the following insugent groups from Manipur.

Proscribed Terrorist/Insurgent Groups

• Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP)
• Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL)
• Manipur People's Liberation Front (MPLF)
• People's Liberation Army (PLA)
• People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK)
• United National Liberation Front (UNLF)

Active Terrorist/Insurgent Groups

• Hmar People's Convention- Democracy (HPC-D)
• Kuki Liberation Army (KLA)
• Kuki National Army (KNA)
• Kuki National Front (KNF)
• Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA)
• National Socialist Council of Nagaland -- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM)
• People's United Liberation Front (PULF)
• United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF)

• Hmar People's Convention (HPC)
• Hmar Revolutionary Front (HRF)
• Indigenous People's Revolutionary Alliance (IRPA)
• Iripak Kanba Lup (IKL)
• Islamic Revolutionary Front (IRF)
• Islamic National Front (INF)
• Kangleipak Kanba Kanglup (KKK)
• Kangleipak Liberation Organisation (KLO)

• Kuki Security Force (KSF)
• Manipur Liberation Tiger Army (MLTA)
• North East Minority Front (NEMF)
• People's Republican Army (PRA)
• Revolutionary Joint Committee (RJC)
• United Islamic Liberation Army (UILA)
• United Islamic Revolutionary Army (UIRA)
• Zomi Revolutionary Volunteers (ZRV)

There are several more insurgent groups in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh.

So, what is the value of North East India states and Jamu and Kashmir in India's security? I am in the opinion that, if the Government of India pay equal attention in the NE Indian states as that of Jammu and Kashmir, there would be no insurgent or there would be atleast some outcome in the NE region.

I have two good stories on stock market..sorry SHOCK MARKET!!!!

FIRST STORY

The Stock Market simply illustrated.... is there a lesson here?

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20.

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50." The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !! –

Welcome to the Market!!!!!

The MAN here is the COMPANY, Investors are the Villagers and the Monkeys are the STOCKS.. END OF THE DAY, the investors become MONKEYS....

Sorry: ARE WE THE INVESTORS IN THE STOCK OR VICTIMS!!!!! I dont know...


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

SECOND STORY

It was autumn, and the Red Indians asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.

But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is Going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service Responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?" "Absolutely," The Man replied.

"It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy."

This is how stock markets work!!!

Revisiting the year 2008 & Kum 2009 etlawhna

I am in a dilemma, what to call the past year 2008. Whatever it may be, things keep on changing, winds blows and often changed its directions. The year 2008 have a rugged and smooth records in the Zou society in Delhi and NCR.

We all know what 2008 had impact on you and me, and also on our society. For some, it may be the year of success, changes or may be it is a heart broken year for others. Here, what I wanted to emphasize is that, let us all look into a new world, let us all shun our differences and try to follow the same tune of the society chorus.

I zaat, i nam hoitah a apei thei na ding in nang tuomi be-le-phung chite a um lou ngai, na sanggampa, ka pupa, ka innkuonte chia dihlou thei na sasa ki bawnghua jui tei tei, a dihlou ahi chi thei na sasa a ki pawng gup chite a um lou ding ahi.

I nam hoina ding ahi leh eima mimal ki-chapousahna (ego) pen paimang poimaw leh kul hi. Kum 2008 sung in kichapousahna ngen a dim i tam zieh in sil a suolou ding tampi suodoh um hi. A naupang lam hitahen aw, a upalam hitaleh, a ki bawng-eh bah chiet akitam man in i nam sungah lungvai huoi leh luosuo huoi zen in kum i zang tung uhi.

Society sunga mimal ki theisiemlouna umte lahsah lou ham i sawm lou ua ahileh lamkai a na pang nin na post adih lou in na zang kha jel ding hi. Mimal kithei siemlouna pen pawlpi sunga i chillum toh val ngai hi.

Pawlpi sung khat poupou ah ka thu, ka la peihen na chi a ahileh na ki innte sah poimaw hi. A gal a apat mi sep leh bawl na soisel laisie a gamla deu deu nahi khinkhien hi. Na sem in, silhoi bawl in, innte pan in malou bang pua lechin mipi’n na thu jui duom duom mai ding ahi.

Ka sanggampa, ka pupa ahizieh ahiei a panla kahileh vang, a mawhna, hui in tangvai asemmang bang bep ka hi ding hi. Thu adihlou ahita i chi leh zong sumkuong chieng kei lou a i bawl khiel umte admit theijel pen guoljawna leh kituona bul ahi chi tu kum 2009 sunga i thupi ding uh hita hen.

My New Year Resolutions for 2009

Give, and it will be given to you

This is not about money or goods. Read in context it makes the meaning apparent. Luke 6:35-38: "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

This has nothing to do with giving money to be more blessed. It has to do with mercy and grace. It is given to your bosom, the inner man to make you filled. If you give another mercy or grace it will be given to you. If you are a gracious forgiving person in your life when it is necessary, then God will bless you with the same.

Please pray for me, so that I can fulfil this commitments. What is your resolutions?

Top Seven New Year Resolutions

- T. Zamlunmang Zou

New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Did your New Year resolutions make our top ten list?

01. Spend More Time with Family & Friends: Recent polls conducted by General Nutrition Centers, Quicken, and others shows that more than 50% of Americans vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Make plans to meet up with friends and love ones, keep your friendship alive. Give more time with your family to make a lively home.

02. Get Out of Debt: Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Try your best to avoid giving yourself debt. Minimise your expenditure, calculate you daily expenditure, mark the unnecessary expenditures. Buy what you need and not what you want.

03. Learn Something New: Have you vowed to make this year the year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a course or read a book, you'll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year's resolutions to keep.

04. Help The Needy: A popular, non-selfish New Year's resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out the orphanage home, financially help the needy, you can contribute your used clothes to so many orphanage homes in Delhi.

05. Make New Friend with Eyes wide Open: Making new friends is expanding your world. Remember that you are living with the people of totally different culture, traditions, livelihood, the way of eating food, the type of food we eat are not the same anymore. Try to make news friends with your eyes wide open. Try to befriend with the mainland Indian, try to learn something from them. But remember to preserve your dignity.

06. Work with Dedication: Wether you are working in a private sector or a government sector, try to keep your work at the first place just next to your family. Remember your work is your living generator, think how to love it. Stick to your work as long as it gives you a handsome amount of salary. Dont try to keep on shiftung from one place to another.

07. Remember Thy Creator: The most important resolution. the first and the last to everything is to remember your God. Try to read your Bible everyday, try to maintain your fellowship with God once a day. Try to attend every Sunday Worship services. Try to give back just one-thenth of what God has given you.
