A College in a relatively small and remote town like Tinsukia (compared to Delhi/ Mumbai), can also
produce such a high quality magazine — ‘Pragyan’ is a nice example. All the best and congratulations
on completing 7 years.

Manipuri Literator of Assam & Bangladesh
Exchanged their views in a Poet Meet

B angladesh has a sizable number of Manipuri

populations. So has Assam either. Though
they have been living in both the lands since pre-
British period they lack state support for their
culture and literature in either side of the border.

invited to Bangladesh Manipuri scholar and
literator to exchange the ideas and views on how
to tackle the challenges before the community
to uplift its present cultural status. The Lakhipur

Engineering College at Dhemaji: Result of Persistent Efforts by
Buljit Buragohain — a FASS Activist.

A ssam’s one of the most backward

districts Dhemaji will have now an
Engineering College of its own. The CM
Assam has announced that in his last
budget lecture. Friends of Assam and
Seven Sister (FASS), a conglomeration
of NE Indian Social activist has
congratulated the CM for such
declaration. Commenting on the budget
Sri Rajen Barua, chairman, FASS says,
“It is especially encouraging to see
announcement of several educational institutions
for the state including an Engineering college in
Dhemaji and Goalpara, the two most
underdeveloped regions of the state.’’ He also
said, “Regarding the need for several engineering
colleges many members from USA had been
lobbying with the CM for years. We are glad to
see that engineering colleges have been approved
for Goalpara and other under developed places.
FASS also have been trying to lobby for several
educational institutes in the entire North East”
Bidyananda Barkakati, the General
Secretary, FASS India chapter claimed, “It was
a single handed effort by Buljit Buragohain,
working Committee Member of FASS India
Chapter and a research scholar at IITG, that
Dhemaji finally got an Engineering College. A
few months
back, Buljit
had briefed
the Chief
Minister in a dinner meeting hosted by the Chief
Minister in honour of NASA Astronaut Col. Mike
Fincke (a life member of FASS). It was because
of Buljit’s persistence that he has finally achieved
his goal. Many a time we laughed at him for
bringing up the same topic (an engineering college
in Dhemaji) again and again.’’
Buljit has actually set an example which

Indira Medhi is all set to Literate
the Illiterates with her IT Innovations

A young woman from Assam has achieved honours in the

challenging realm of computer literacy. Indrani Medhi,
an associate researcher with Microsoft, has developed text-
free user interfaces designed to help illiterate and semi-literate
users for whom the computer appears as an alien tool. Her design,
according to experts, “would allow any first-time illiterate person
to immediately realize useful interaction with minimal or no
assistance.” The achievement was important enough to gain
attention of the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
and she was featured in the Technology Review, the institute’s

/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10

magazine on innovation. In the March 2010 edition,
Medhi’s work has been described in some detail.
The magazine’s TR 35 list, in which she is
mentioned, recognises just 20 individuals under
the age of 35, whose work shows exceptional
brilliance in fields such as biotech, materials,
computer hardware, energy, transportation and the
internet. Medhi’s contribution is in the area of
computer and electronics hardware. Significantly,
Medhi’s work was exemplary in its land-to-lab
linkages. An architect trained in NIT Nagpur and
Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Medhi
spent long periods in the slums of India,
Philippines, and South Africa understanding the

the English letter ‘Z’ is no more there in English
alphabet from June, 10.
The commission says that,‘‘After carefully
considering and debating the matter for over two
years, the ELCC came to
the conclusion that the
letter ‘Z’ should be
removed from the English

objective of this change is
to simplify the phonetic

Annual Carnival of e-Creativity:
A Unique Innovative Idea of an Assam Born e-Creative Activist

Assamese origin—first began the whole
madness of networking and connecting e-Creative
Practitioners all over the world, with publication
of the first CD-gazette of The IDEA (The Indian
Documentary of Electronic Arts), January 2000.

genuine needs of the under privileged
communities. According to the Technology
Review, during her research Medhi discovered that
illiterate people with no experience with
computing were intimidated by technology. As her
mother Meera Medhi said to media after the news
broke out Indira was always keen to develop
something that would benefit the poor and
marginalised. It is worth mentioning that the TR
35 list was prepared by a distinguished panel,
which included K Vijay Raghavan, Director,
National Centre for Biological Sciences, TIFR, PK

will happen to the words that have the letter ‘z’
in them? It depends on the word. According to
the ELCC, words that started with a ‘z’ will now
start with an ‘x’. Examples include: zero
becomes xero, zoo becomes xoo, zone becomes
xone, and zodiac becomes xodiac. Words that
featured a ‘z’ with the ‘s’
sound, on the other hand,
will now be officially
written with the ‘s’ (i.e.,
unifying the American and
British spelling). Examples
include: visualize becomes
visualise; analyze becomes
analyse; materialize becomes
materialise.„ [PEB]
‘sort of squashing my head between a rock and a
hard place’ all the way since then with this work.
Much of the period covered some of the loneliest
times of my life, when my work was not
understood amongst so many of my peers,
especially here in India, where I live and work.
And, let it also be recorded here that many good
people wrote me off as a complete idiot along the

way.” After ten years however, his old central
theme of networking and promoting “innovation
& creativity” has increasingly become a public
buzzword these days, right the way through
institutions, corporate affairs, and governance.
Meanwhile, Shankar himself now runs the
Academy of Electronic Arts (also known as The
Academy of Experimental Arts), a Public Benefit
Trust that serves as a learning, sharing, mentoring,
networking, benchmarking, empowering and
broadly inclusive, but non-educational institution,
which initiated the annual Carnival of e-Creativity
five years ago. The 5th annual Carnival of e-
Creativity (CeC 2010) concluded successfully on
February 19-20-21, 2010, in the sylvan spaces of
Sattal Estate, near Bhimtal, in the Himalayan
Indian state of Uttarakhand.
Participants from India and abroad stretched
the event widely through science, engineering,
music, video, education, art, and other streams of
creative human endeavour, with CeC having
earned a pretty outstanding global reputation by
now. Day-1 began with the meeting between just
Primary Participants, Guest Participants, and

the rest of the incident to the participants
themselves. On account of the number of
participants though, most of the performers
delivered their presentations alongside their
performances this time.
CeC 2010 opened to the public on Friday,
February 19, with a performance by the Hindustani
classical vocalist Aparna Panshikar. Prior to that,
Shankar Barua delivered a brief speech &
presentation of a robotic drum he’d been
developing over the preceding months, with
hardware support from Tom Scarff (developer of
the Miduino board, in Dublin), software support
from Matthew John Davey (the famous Hardoff,
master of Pure Data, in Japan), and also advisory
and direct assistance from Joy Sharma (electronics
engineer/evangelist, in Delhi). Aparna, performed
with Paola Lazo, electroacoustician and voice-artist
from Chile, Jayen Varma, the ‘world’s fastest
bassist’, and Michael Ormiston, overtone singer
and exotic instrumentalist. Dhananjay Gadre,

PATIENT LEADERSHIP
A ll Spring, I’ve been watching the trees in my
backyard flourish. All of them have grown
into lush masterpieces of nature and vivid beauty.
All have matured and revealed precious blossoms
to my family and I. All have provided us with
shade, joy and protection. All but one.
This
one tree
s t a n d s
a p a r t .
While the
others were
growing
quickly a
few months
ago, this one had no leaves at all. It looked thin
and frail. I wasn’t even sure if it had made it
through the Winter. I left it for dead. But then
something very spectacular happened.
From nowhere, it started to yield stunningly
beautiful little flowers on its almost instantly firm
branches. It grew higher than every other tree
around it. And it offered us more cover than its
counterparts. This tree is now the best tree. The
Lead Tree in my backyard.
Here’s the leadership lesson: strong roots
eventually yield great success.
I have a suspicion that while the naked eye
suggested that the tree wasn’t growing, in truth, it
15 /
definitely was. But the expansion was below
ground rather than above ground. And so I
dismissed it.
While the other trees were reaching for the
sky, this special tree was quietly working on its
foundation, ensuring its roots were strong and its
base was secure. And once done, it outperformed
every tree around it.
Business and life has taught me so many
lessons. And so has nature. And one of the best is
that leadership takes time. You might think that
other people and other organizations are so far
ahead of you that you’ll never catch up. But please
be patient. Tend to your roots. Do exceptionally
great work. Build deep relationships. Invent and
innovate daily. And Lead Without a Title.
Nature is always fair. And eventually, like
the special tree in my backyard, you will win.
LEADERSHIP & CRITICS
O
ne of the challenges for anyone dedicated to
expressing their leadership best is dealing
with the chattering voices of naysaying critics. As
a matter of fact, the more brightly you shine in
your work and the more quickly you innovate and
the more excellent you become, the more
foulmouthed critics you will attract. It’s just part
of the game. Emerson said it brilliantly: “Great
people are always misunderstood.”
Here some key insights to help you fly in
your career (and within your life), in the face of
criticism:

The Institute of Actuaries of India
Formally ASI
T he Institute of Actuaries of India is the sole
Professional body of Actuaries in India. It was
formed in September 1944 with the objectives of :
Š Advancement of the Actuarial profession
in India.
Š Providing opportunities for interaction
among members of the profession.
Š Facilitating research, arranging lectures on
relevant subjects.
Š Providing facilities and guidance to those
studying for the Actuarial exams.
IAI is founder member of International
Actuarial Association, an umbrella organization
to all actuarial bodies across the world; It is
actively involved in formulation of future
education strategy of International Actuarial
Association.
What do Actuaries do ?
a) Actuaries Make Financial Sense of the Future
Actuaries are experts in assessing the financial
impact of tomorrow’s uncertain events. They
enable financial decisions to be made with more
confidence by:
· Analyzing the past
· Modelling the future
· Assessing the risks involved, and
· Communicating what the results mean in
financial terms.

sponsorship from various depts./agencies.
At present 3 (three) such training programs
are conducted by the centre.
1. DOEACC CISC Training Program -
Sponsored by Ministry of DONER, Govt.
of India.
2. WEP ‘O’ & ‘A’ Level Course - Sponsored
by Department of IT, Govt. of India.
3. WEP ITES-BPO Training Program
Sponsored by Department of IT, Govt. of
India.„
b) Actuaries Enable More Informed Decisions:
Actuaries add value by enabling businesses
and individuals to make better-informed decisions,
with a clearer view of the likely range of financial
outcomes from different future events. The
actuary’s skills in analysis and modeling of
problems in finance, risk management and product
design are used extensively in the areas of
insurance, pensions, investment and more recently
in wider fields such as project management,
banking and health care. Within these industries,
actuaries perform a wide variety of roles such as
design and pricing of product, financial
management and corporate planning. Actuaries are
invariably involved in the overall management of
insurance companies and pension, gratuity and
other employee benefit funds schemes; they have
statutory roles in insurance and employee benefit
valuations to some extent in social insurance
schemes sponsored by government.
Who Can Become An Actuary?
Any person with minimum 18 years of age
and having a high degree of aptitude for
mathematics and statistics can take up this course
and become an Actuary. Generally, first class
graduates or postgraduates in Mathematics,
Statistics or Econometrics will be in a better
position than others to qualify as actuaries.
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
 To qualify as an Actuary, a candidate has to
pass all examinations in the prescribed subjects. In
addition, he has to comply with other criteria such
as experience requirement and attendance at a
professionalism course prescribed for the purpose.
Duration of the Course
There is no fixed duration to complete the
course. Since all the 15 subjects prescribed are to
be cleared before one is awarded the Fellowship,
continued and sustained effort is necessary to
complete the course. Single minded devotion, total
dedication and a systematic approach to problems
are the qualities that will enable a person to qualify
as an actuary within a reasonable time.
Actuarial Educational Model
The subjects for the examinations can be
categorized in to three groups.The first group
Comprises of the CT series; these involve
development of theory of actuarial science and
applications of mathematics and statistics to
actuarial applications such as life insurance, general
insurance, employee benefits, investment and other
areas. An introduction to economics, financial
economics and financial reporting is also included
at this stage. Although most part of the course is
somewhat theoretical, the exercise and the question
in the examination are practical in nature as they
reflect real life situations of the area of work to
which the subject is applicable.
The second group comprises of CA and ST
series subjects. CA3 subject is mean to develop
skills of communication of technical aspect of the
CT series subjects in simple language to non-
technical persons; here again the stress in
examination question is demonstration of the skills
of communications in real life environment. The
ST series subjects are entirely tuned to development
of the practices and related principles in the
respective areas of work while some part of the CT
series could be learnt either through a distance
education approach or through a classroom
approach, the ST series subjects can be fully
understood only in a practical work environment.
The SA series subjects involve application of
knowledge and understanding of principles as well
as demonstration of skills professionalism and
judgment in an essentially practical situation.
The actuarial education model, therefore, is
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
ingrained with work and application and therefore
substantially these educations beyond CT series
subjects takes place in work environment. The
success through examinations is linked to
corresponding work experience and insight, thus
gained. The examinations given at CT series level
take place, for most of the students in work
environment. The career progress is linked to
progress in examination and it is very likely that by
the time a student completes ST series, he/she would
be occupying management of level of
responsibilities.Graduates and postgraduates
eligible to take up actuarial examinations are
typically recruited by actuarial employers and
placed as actuarial trainees. With a view to
emphasizing the kind of actuarial education model,
it may be stated here that it is like educating medical
doctors, where education needs to take place in work
environment of a hospital.
Career Opportunities
The actuaries work in wide range of areas
which include the following:Life insurance,General
Insurance, Health Insurance, Reinsurance
Companies, Pension Funds, Consultants,
Investments, Government Academics, Risk
Management, Life, General, Health Insurance and
Reinsurance Companies
Traditionally Actuaries work with Life
Insurance Companies, but their importance lies
equally in General and Health Insurance Companies
also.
The areas of their concern include :
Product design, which includes designing new
policies as per the changing requirements of the
customers, Pricing the policy, ie. Setting the suitable
premiums for the benefits and services offered by
the company Profit Testing and distribution of
profits among Shareholders and Policyholders.
Actuaries help the management of the company in
running the business in sound financial manner and
to take strategic decisions from time to time. The
Appointed Actuary of a Company has the
responsibility of demonstrating financial stability
of the company to the State Regulatory Authorities
at all times.
Pension Funds
Designing a Scheme of Benefits to the
Members of the Pension Scheme.

— An NE Career Guidance Presentation

N E Career Guidance is working towards helping students in North Eastern States to choose right career for
their life. It is very crucial for students to choose right Institution or College and be careful that they don’t
fall into trap of choosing an UNAPPROVED or UNRECOGNIZED Institute, College or a Course.
To ensure that student’s do not make any mistakes choosing an unapproved Institute or College or a
course which are not recognized by Government or UGC, we share here the list available in public domain.
Please note that students taking up such courses or getting admitted to such institutes may not affect
in some instances getting employment but at the same though it does not guarantee. Studying in such
institute may impact your higher educational ventures or taking up any Government job or employment.
However, NE Career Guidance suggests further investigation by admission seeker should be done
prior to taking admission.

T he scope for unrestricted movement of
people across regions and nations has
widened in the truly globalized world. As a
result, highly skilled workers from our
Region are now migrating to the developed
cities & countries in search of better
opportunities.
As per reports by analysts, students
from North East India migrate to other parts
of the country and rest of the world in large
numbers for higher education and job
opportunities. It has been witnessed that a few
Indian states attract students from other states
at secondary level. It is been also seen that
the states which attract large volume of
students at secondary level have better
educational infrastructure especially for
streams like Engineering & Medical
education, Administration and to name a few,
other professional courses like Finance, IT,
Hotel Management, Mass communication
etc. It is mainly due to higher number of seats
as well as larger number of institutions
available in these states and at the same time
employment opportunities and ample job
prospects. At the very first look there seems
to be a direct connection between number of

students migrating to other states and the
educational infrastructure in those places.
If you look at the trend analysis on North East
Indian students going abroad for Higher Studies
and job opportunities (2005-2009), it shows
increasing trend till about 2007, but decreasing
trend since 2008. That could be due to various
reasons. But surely if in near future the educational
infrastructure and facilities not improved and new
ways of learning, new technologies not introduced,
out-flux of students and talents would still continue,
may be will not increase further but the continue
the same trend. (See Fig. 1)
On the other hand as per analysts, students
from North East going to large cities in India for
Higher Studies & job opportunities during 2005-
2009, it shows maximum volume is in the
Graduation level and for job opportunities.
However, for higher education, percentage remains
still low. It could be that we are not either opting
for further higher education or facilities not
available, where there is absolute need for further
higher studies as survey shows that college degrees
no longer command authority in the job industry
and are now needed to go further to professional,
Master’s and PhD level. (See Fig. 2)

promising talent pool.

students going abroad from NE region has
decreased considerably as the opportunities
in large cities in India are attracting the new
generation more.

4. Private colleges in big cities in India are
attracting more students from this region.
5. Professional courses like Journalism &
Mass Communication, Biotechnology,
Microbiology, Law etc. offered by these
private colleges attract more students.
6. According to Govt. data, 20000 Indians
returned to India in 2009 after losing jobs
abroad.
Overall, employment and job
opportunities are some of the basic
reasons for migration.
Now, if we look at just one
aspect of North East, is the volume
of population in our rural areas,
where we have our maximum
population. If we go deeper, do we
see enough employment
opportunities in these areas? Yes we
have extensive agricultural and
natural resources. But in absence of
new ways doing things, new
technologies our young generation is
not really motivated. If one can
Employment Generation could be
through vocational education.
Vocational education consists
basically of practical courses through
which one gains skills and experience
directly linked to a career in future. It
helps students to be skilled and in turn,
offers better employment opportunities.
These trainings are parallel to the other
conventional courses of study (like
B.Sc., M.Sc. etc).
The Vocational Training in
India is imparted by mainly two types
of bodies:

A major plumbing of the Brahmaputra and
Barak river systems is planned through
the construction of 168 large dams to generate
63,000 MW of electricity, even as the
Northeast is slated to be India’s ‘future
powerhouse’. A significant part of the ongoing
debate on the issue in the region has been the
evolution of a discourse on the downstream
impacts of these dams in the Brahmaputra &
Barak floodplains, an issue which is still a
major lacuna in governmental decision-
making and governance processes in New
Delhi (Hindu Survey of the Environment 2008
& 2009). The past one year has seen the
crucial emergence of more widespread
political mobilisation and debate on the issue
of dams, environment and society in
downstream Assam. In this piece we take
stock of these recent developments on an issue
which is likely to significantly influence both
the natural and political landscape of the
region in the coming days.
Layers of Resistance
Popular opposition to upstream large
dams in the floodplains of Assam has already
taken a critical turn and can be seen at several
41 /
Neeraj Vagholikar and Arupjyoti Saikia
levels. A careful observation leads one to find a
number of distinct but overlapping layers of
articulation of resistance. First mention should be
of the role played by a few activists, small
localised movements and NGOs located across
the region. They have been playing a leading role
in raising the political consciousness in the
downstream areas for several years now. Some
of them have even carried out studies to assess
the ecological and societal impacts of these dams,
in which they have been joined by scientists and
researchers. But this section has a relatively
limited role to play in articulating a larger political
opposition at the state level. A more visible role
at the state level is that of several student bodies
in Assam whose political presence in the body
politics of the region has been crucial over the
years. Their role on the dams issue has been
primarily confined to pressuring either
hydropower companies or the government to
conform to regulatory norms and conduct
downstream impact studies in Assam. While this
in itself may be an important contribution, these
bodies are yet to articulate a clear voice of denial
to potentially destructive upstream mega dams,
barring some exceptions. They are also yet to
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
place this issue within a broader politics of seeking
appropriate development for this ecologically and
geologically fragile, seismically active and
culturally sensitive region. It was in this
background that a debate on the impacts of dams
in the Assam Legislative Assembly gave a new
twist to the anti-dam politics in the region.
Assam Assembly debate
On July 15th -16th, 2009 a major debate took
place in the Assam Legislative Assembly on the
downstream impacts of large dams planned in the
upper reaches of the Brahmaputra river system in
Arunachal Pradesh. This debate took place during
the reply of the Assam Power Minister to a cut
motion moved by members of the opposition on
the Department of Power, Government of Assam.
Interestingly, members from both the opposition
and treasury benches raised serious concerns about
the downstream concerns in Assam. Several
members took part in informed debates. More vocal
were the voices from the members from Dhemaji
and Lakhimpur districts of Assam, which have seen
ongoing downstream conflicts over the
commissioned 405 MW Ranganadi hydroelectric
project and the under construction 2000 MW
Lower Subansiri hydroelectric project, both
projects having being granted a green signal
without comprehensive downstream impact
assessment. For example, independent MLA
Bhubon Pegu, who was extremely vocal in the
debate, raised the question of how the future power
demand of the Northeast was insignificant
compared to the large number of projects proposed
to export power from the region to the rest of the
country. He argued that while some people would
make huge profits, the people of the Northeast,
particularly in downstream Assam would bear the
costs. Some members also argued that micro hydel
projects were more appropriate and less risky
keeping in mind the geo-environmental setting of
the region.
These well informed debates drew attention
to several aspects of the downstream impacts of
dams which is often a lacuna in the broader popular
discourse on the impacts of dams in the country,
which is primarily influenced by upstream
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
submergence and displacement. When large dams
block the flow of a river, they also trap sediments
and nutrients vital for fertilising downstream
plains. They alter the natural flow regimes which
drive the ecological processes in the downstream
areas. Recent downstream impact concerns raised
in the Northeast include: loss of fisheries; changes
in beel (wetland) ecology in the flood plains;
impacts on agriculture on the chapories (riverine
islands and tracts); increased flood vulnerability
due to massive boulder extraction from river beds
and sudden water releases from reservoirs in the
monsoons as has been witnessed in the Ranganadi
hydroelectric project; dam safety and associated
risks in this geologically fragile and seismically
active region. The drastic flow variation in winter
is also a matter of serious ecological and social
concern in the downstream areas. For example, the
usual winter flow in the Subansiri river is
approximately 300 – 500 cumecs (cubic metres per
second), flowing uniformly through the day. Both
the ecology and peoples use of the riverine areas
is adapted to this. For example, exposed chapories
in winter are used both for agriculture and grazing
purposes by people, as well as extensively used
by wildlife. Uses include breeding of birds and
foraging by herbivores. After the commissioning
of the 2000 MW Lower Subansiri project, flows
in the Subansiri river in winter will fluctuate
drastically on a daily basis from 6 cumecs for 20
hours (when water is being stored behind the dam)
to 2500 cumecs for 4 hours when the power is
generated at the time of peak power demand. Such
massive fluctuations on a daily basis will
drastically alter natural flow regimes. The flow
during peak load hours in the Subansiri is
equivalent to average monsoon flows and will
cause a winter ‘flood’ drowning drier riverine tracts
used both by wildlife and people on a daily basis
in winter.
The result of the Assam Legislative Assembly
debate was the setting up of multi-party House
Committee on July 16, 2009 to investigate the issue
of downstream impacts of dams in the Brahmaputra
river basin, a significant political development on
the issue of dams in Northeast India. Some MLAs
/ 42
and civil society groups have expressed concern
about what they feel is a lack of seriousness in the
approach of the House Committee since it was
established. Civil society constantly drew attention
of the Committee to the complex issues embedded
in the dam question. Unlike previous experiences,
the Committee held few public hearings and helped
crystallise the public opinion significantly. In its
interim report submitted on March 31, 2010 the
committee has asked for the suspension of work
on the 2000 MW Lower Subansiri project till its
report is completed. However, as of early May, the
work still continues at the project site.
Going against the flow
While social activists, NGOs and students
unions have been active on the dams issue for a
while, the last year has also seen a more pro-active
involvement of the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti
(KMSS), a peasant’s movement in Assam with a
huge mass base. The KMSS has been working on
land and forest rights issues, as well as overall
accountability in governance including through
extensive use of Right to Information (RTI). The
role of bodies like KMSS with a huge mass base
has added an important layer to the ongoing public
opposition to the upstream mega dams. Their
radical anti-dam position has pulled support from
downstream people. The KMSS has asked for
complete halt into the construction of ongoing
projects. The KMSS’s method of opposition is
clearly agitational. In the last couple of years the
KMSS organised several public meetings which
were attended by cross sections of the members of
the civil society as well as student bodies.
In September 2009, the KMSS co-ordinated
a joint memorandum on the downstream impacts
of dams addressed to the Prime Minister, Dr.
Manmohan Singh. The signatories included a wide
array of civil society representatives from Assam
– engineers, peasant movements, journalists,
students unions, elected representatives, geologists,
littérateurs and intellectuals. They expressed
serious concern that livelihood and ecological
impacts in the downstream in the Brahmaputra
flood plains are being ignored even as a large
number of mega hydroelectric projects in the region
43 /
go through clearance processes. Arunachal Pradesh
(AP) alone plans to build 135 hydropower projects
for an installed capacity of 57,000 MW. Till March
2010, the state has already signed agreements
(MoUs) for 117 projects with companies in the
private and public sector for a cumulative installed
capacity of 38,395.90 MW, with over 100 having
an involvement of private players.
The memorandum from Assamese civil society
says that the central government seems to be in denial
of a basic fact of nature: that a river flows downstream.
This is evident from Terms of Reference (ToR) for
Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) studies
granted by the Ministry of Environment & Forests
(MoEF) for over three dozen large dams in the
Northeastern region in the last three years. While the
‘baseline data’ collection has been asked to be
restricted to only 10 km. downstream, the actual
‘impact prediction’ has been asked to be restricted to
an even smaller distance downstream in most cases:
only between the dam and powerhouse! There is only
one aspect which needs to be studied beyond 10 km.
downstream; this is the ‘dam-break analysis’ which
predicts what will be flooding downstream in case
the dam actually breaks. But dam-break is not the
only downstream risk a dam poses as indicated earlier.
Unfortunately, most detailed downstream studies are
only prescribed as post-clearance studies as has been
done in the environmental clearance granted to the
1750 MW Demwe Lower project on the Lohit river
as recently as February 2010.
The failure of Central decision-making
processes to seriously address downstream concerns
in Assam (as well as the Congress state government
to take this up strongly with New Delhi) has seen
the issue being taken up other political parties in the
region. The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) has taken
up the issue in the Brahmaputra valley, while the
All India United Democratic Front (AUDF) has
raised concerns about the downstream impacts of
the 1500 MW Tipaimukh Multipurpose in the Barak
Valley in southern Assam. The AGP’s current
engagement on the issue has included taking up the
issue in New Delhi as well as organising a major
seminar on the issue in Guwahati in January 2010
attended by both academics and activists to get a
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
better understanding of the issue. At the end of this
two day event the AGP took a clear political position
against upstream mega dams in the Brahmaputra
river basin.
A couple of developments in March 2010
were quite indicative of the huge financial stake
involved in the mega dams and the resulting
backlash against those taking political positions
against these projects. A “secret” report of the
Assam police became public in March this year.
This report named three persons: Akhil Gogoi of
the KMSS, independent MLA Bhubon Pegu and
Ravindranath, who runs a development NGO, as
‘Maoists’. It was surely more than a mere
coincidence that all three have been proactive in
denouncing mega dams coming up in upstream
Arunachal Pradesh. Facing the heat of the
opposition and civil society at large, the state
government immediately declared that this secret
report was erroneous. Around the same time in
March 2010, the Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister,
Dorjee Khandu, called those opposing the 2700
MW Lower Siang project as ‘anti-Arunachal’.
Understanding Resistance in the Downstream
These developments over the past one year
also need to be seen in the context of the politics
of Assam. While the land and forests have been
the theatre of conflict in the politics over natural
resources in the last century in the state, the drastic
alteration of flow regimes by the proposed dams
proposes to alter a significant element of the
northeastern landscape – the river systems and their
associated natural-cultural-social linkages as well
as the larger political scenario. A region largely
portrayed in the national media as disturbed by
ethnic and extremist violence is gradually
responding to the questions over natural resources
and inflow of capital into the region. Civil society,
citing the region’s historical experience of
exploitation of natural resources like land and oil,
has expressed apprehension about the possible
detrimental role of this capital - in the form of
‘hydro dollars’ as it has been often being described
by its votaries - towards the larger well being of
the region. It has also questioned whether such a
capital coming in for multiple mega dams has the
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
capacity to contribute positively locally, keeping
in mind the fundamental nature of the region’s
economy and society as such. Civil society has
further pointed out that the colonial capital inflow
into the region in the form of tea-plantations could
hardly generate enough economic space where the
local people could have participated, besides
locking off huge land resources out of their reach.
Political parties like Asom Gana Parisad have
now officially endorsed their anti-dam position
while others like the CPI have already clearly
articulated their pro-dam position. The latter cites
the provision of flood moderation in large dams as
their reason for support the over 100 dams planned
in Arunachal. Critics of the proposed dams point
out that this is not correct as out of the 117 MOUs
already signed for construction of hydroelectric
projects between the Arunachal Pradesh
government and various power companies, only
one, i.e. the 3000 MW Dibang Multi-purpose
project, has an explicit flood moderation
component built into it at the time of signing the
agreement in addition to hydropower generation.
They further point out how such positions based
on inadequate information will be surely welcomed
by the advocates of dam and in the long run will
help private capital, the major player in Arunachal’s
dam-building spree in the coming days, to gain
advantages in these crucial debates.
There are several issues which are central to
this opposition by civil society in Assam. They have
argued that the sudden rush of capital for multiple
mega hydropower projects is another attempt to
siphon off resources from the region which itself
has a small power demand. Another argument has
asked for a re-look into the larger technological
aspects before undertaking such projects. The pro-
dam lobby has, on the other hand, equated the dams
and private capital as capable of changing the larger
‘lack of development’ scenario of the region forever.
The political opposition to these projects is
still young and will need to mature further
considering the massive influence the multiple
upstream mega dams will have in the Brahmaputra
and Barak floodplains in Assam in the coming
days. For example, despite the Assam Assembly

T he proposed Tipaimukh dam is to be

located 500 metres downstream from the
confluence of Barak and Tuivai rivers, and
lies on the south-western corner of Manipur
State (24°14’N and 93°13’E approximately).
It is a huge earth dam (rock-fill with central
impervious core) having an altitude of about 180
M above the sea-level with a maximum reservoir
level of 178m and 136m as the MDDL (minimum
draw down level). The dam was originally

45 / /Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09

conceived to only contain the flood water in the
Cachar plains of Assam but later on, emphasis has
been placed on hydroelectric power generation,
having an installation capacity of 1500MW with
only a firm generation of 412MW (less than 30
per cent of installed capacity). In order to appease
the people of Manipur state, the project proponent,
NEEPCO, had been building up a list of benefits
that include high-class tourism, free power sharing,
resettlement and rehabilitation package and an all
round rosy picture of development.
Over the past two decade or so, the issue of
Tipaimukh dam has created a lot of disenchantment
in regard to scientific, technical, economic and
environmental feasibility of the dam especially
concerning with the states of Manipur, Mizorzm,
Assam and neighbouring Bangladesh. In the light
of disillusionment faced over the past few years as

a consequence of construction of Subansiri Dam
in the Brahmaputra valley, this paper makes an
attempt to provide a brief account of the possible
impact of the proposed Tipaimukh Dam on the
ambient environment and tries to analyse the entire
issue from the Pro-environment and Pro-human
point of view. Such a consideration would reveal
the nature and extent of the variety of risk being
taken by constructing a mega-dam at Tipaimukh.
(A) ENVIRONMENTAL SET-UP
(A/I) Tipaimukh Dam Particulars: The dam
would be an earthen-rock filled dam. The proposed
Length is 390 m, estimated height is 162.8 m and is
Maximum reservoir level is 178m. Total area
required for construction including submergence
area is 30860 ha. The estimated date of completion
of the project is 2012 and the implementing agencies
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
are NHPC, SUTLAZ & Manipur Govt. The project
cost as estimated by the NEEPCO was Rs. 5225.70
Crore, however, the present revised cost of the
project is Rs 10,000 crore.(Approx.).
(A/II) Purpose of this dam: The dam was
originally designed to control flood-waters in the
lower Barak valley. However, Hydropower
generation was later incorporated into the project.
The project would have an installation capacity of
6×250=1500 MW but what is more important is that
it would have a firm generation of 412 MW only !
(B) LESSONS FROM SUBANSIRI
Influence of Subansiri on different
livelihood sectors: Before the construction of
Subansiri Dam, the situation that prevailed there
was quite good and people from various walks of
life earned their livelihood under the then existing
set up. The tangible benefits obtained by the local

communities are given in a tabular form below;
The site where the Subansiri Dam has been
constructed was the abode of variety of flora and
fauna. Being located in the biodiversity rich zone,
a variety of wild flowers and several rare orchids
occurred in the area. In the adjoining Dulong
Reserve Forest quite a good number of endangered
and rare species of butterfly used to flourish. Fish
diversity in the Subansiri drainage system include
different species of Mystus, Tor tor, Tor putitora,
Labeo rohita, Labeo calbasu, Puntius sarana
sarana, Labeo bata, Aspidoparia jaya, Cirrhinus
reba, etc. Besides, a lot of hill stream cold water
fish diversity was found in the Subansiri drainage
system. To mention a few of them are, Labeo dero,
Labeo pungusia etc. Gangetic river dolphin
(Platinista gangetica gangetica) , a species that
/ 46
prefers to live in deep gorge also flourished in the
Subansiri basin. The construction of a dam in such
a beautiful paradise of plants and animals has
permanent bidden adieu to all those species.
(C) BIODIVERSITY DISTURBANCES.
(I) Plant life: The vegetation of the area is
generally varied and botanically interesting. It has
been observed that the vegetation cover in the study
area varies from tropical to sub-tropical evergreen
moist deciduous forests, bamboo forests and
grasslands and riparian forests. The predominant
plant species that are found in the area include
Ficus sp., Macarangas sp., Duabanga sp.,
Lagerstroemias sp., Bombax sp.,etc. Various fern
species that occur are Cyathea gigantean,
Angiopteris evecta, Pteris sp.etc. timber species
include, Dipterocarpus sp., Terminalius sp.,
Michelias sp., Artocarpus sp., Kayaassamica sp.,
Tetrameles sp., Duabanga sp., Gynocordia odorata
Aquilaria agallocha and Tree fern etc. The
epiphytic flora is very rich and diverse and include
Dischidia sp., Hoya sp., Pothos sp., Raphidophora
sp., etc. Orchids of the species Dendrobium and
Cymbidium are quite abundant. Thus the area
represents as the gene bank of lot many plant
species, some, (although not all) of which also
occur in the neighbouring forest areas. The species
that deserve special attention are Michelias sp.,
Magnolias sp., Bucklandia populanea, Podocarpus
nerifolia, Cyathea gigantean, Cycads, Caryota sp.,
Licula sp., Pinaga sp.,and rare ochids like Lilium
macklieae, Paphiopedilum spicerianum, and
Paphiopodium villosum.

Once the dam is constructed, the stagnant
water, may encourage the growth of aggressive
weeds like Water hyacinth, Eichhornia, Zizania etc.
which will be very destructive and may create
‘Phumdi’ like structures in the reservoir water as
in Loktak lake in Manipur. This aspect deserves
special attention.
(II) Animal life: The catchment area is very
rich in the variety of wild birds, reptiles and
mammals. The important animal species include
Clouded Leopard, Malaya Sur bear (Hony bear),
Golden cat, Marbled cat, Stump tailed monkey, Slow
loris, Goral, Hoolock gibbon, Capped langur,
Python, Blyth’s tragopan, Peacock pheasant, Indian
pied hornbill, Rufus necked hornbill, Brown backed
hornbill, Chinese pangolin, Indian wild dog, Leopard
etc among many others. Important aquatic fauna
include Gangetic river dolphin, Hilsa hilsa, various
sp. of Mahaseer etc. Construction of a big dam in
the site would lead to their habitat loss. On the other
hand translocation of the species living therein to
some other area is again a subject to be dealt with
seriously, where the feasibility is also to be explored.

seismically-active zones in the world. The other
zones include California, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan

(E) POWER GENERATION - Effective to what
extent?
The dam, it was estimated during 1954, would
cost Rs 1,078 crore, but the project was put in the
cold storage because it did not have the requisite
environmental and management plans. Then the
Brahmaputra Board jumped into the fray. It is a
government body that was at that time meant to
manage the Brahmaputra and Barak river basins. The
board also carried out studies, revising the plan until
the estimated cost went up to Rs 2,899 crore in 1995.
The problem is that of the installed capacity of 1,500
mw, at any given time only 412 mw will be generated,
usually in the monsoons when the river is in spate.
(F/I) IMPACTS OF PROPOSED TIPAIMUKH
DAM IN INDIA
The total area required for construction
including submergence area is 30860 hectare. Out
of this, 20,797 ha is forest land, 1,195 ha is village
land, 6,160 ha is horticultural land, and 2,525 ha is
agricultural land. As per estimates of the authorities
themselves, the project will totally affect 311sq. km
and 8 villages affecting 1461 families altogether.
(F/II) DOWNSTREAM IMPACT
1. Possible Impacts of the dam in
Tamenglong: In Tamenglong district of Manipur,
a total area of land 288.60 sq. km. will be
submerged. The Barak waterfalls and Zeliet lakes
which are linked with the history of the local people
of Tamenglong that will be submerged forever and
all folklore and legend will have no monuments,
proof and will live in history for the forthcoming
generation. Once the dam is constructed, more than
40,000 people will be rendered landless. Sixteen
villages situated on both sides of the river Barak
will be permanently inundated. More than 90
villages, mostly of Tamenglong District will be
adversely affected. About 27.242 hectares of
cultivable land will be lost. The township of
Nungba Sub-Division headquarters and the villages
along the NH-53 will be severely affected. The
Dam is expected to bring health hazard, water
borne diseases, industrial pollution and many other
environmental and ecological problems due to
increase of water surface. Prolonged stagnant water
will be unsafe for drinking thereby may cause a
lot of problems to the people. Local people are of
the opinion that the decision for construction of a
dam in such area was taken without a proper
ecological study which, they foresee would create
a big trouble in the future to the people.
In Tamenglong district, the Zeilangrong
Nagas lose on the roundabouts. The area stands to
be submerged by the dam, besides being affected
culturally. Manipur will lose 293.56 sq km to the
reservoir. Much of the support for the dam comes
from some leaders in Churachandpur as well as
the state government. In Tamenglong, one can
count the number of people in favour of the dam,
without breaking into a sweat.
The Zeliangrong Nagas are in for substantial
damages. With the environmental impact
assessment report still not available, the public has
to depend on neepco’s claims.
As mentioned above that according to the report
eight villages will be submerged, even though it says
casualties will be minimal. NEEPCO says only four
Naga villages in Tamenglong will be submerged. The
ground reality is that altogether ninety villages will
be affected, some more and some to a less extent.

a. The environmental impacts:
The environmental impacts of dams can
generally fit within two categories: I) Those due
to existence of the dam and reservoir; and II) Those
due to the pattern of dam operation.
I. Environmental Impacts : Due to existence
of dam and reservoir: Imposition of a reservoir in
place of a river valley would obviously cause loss
of habitat. Changes in downstream morphology of
riverbed, delta, and coastline due to altered
sediment load would result in increased soil
erosion. Changes in downstream water quality
cannot be ruled out as there would be change in
river-water temperature, increase of nutrient load,
turbidity, dissolved gases, concentration of heavy
metals, minerals and other contaminants.
Reduction of biodiversity is another threat as this
may happen due to blocking of movement of
organism like Turtle, Hilsa, River Dolphin and
other important endemic aquatic species living
abundantly in the aquatic set up of river Barak.
II. Environmental Impacts: due to pattern
of dam: Due to dam pattern, the following impacts
may take place. These include, Changes in
downstream hydrology, Changes in total flows,
Change in seasonal flows (e.g. flood may occur in
spring or in winter).
Short-term fluctuation in flows like change
in extreme high and low flows, Changes in
peripheral water bodies, changes in downstream
water (both quality & quantity wise), Change in
riparian/floodplain habitat, livelihood and diversity
pattern, total collapse of Navigation, Fishing &
similar other exercises and change in tea, paddy &
other economic crops.
b. Social and Economic Impacts of Dams:
There would be serious impact on economic,
Social, Cultural well-being and may call for
relocation of communities. The local community
would lose control over water and there would be
transfer of control from local level to central
government or corporate level control.
c. Impacts of the proposed dam on socio-
economy of the region: The dam would cause
inundation in the ambient area. This would result in
decrease in employment opportunity in agricultural
sector and consequently average income of the
farmer would go down. Besides, there would be
49 /
damage of homes and other institution, homeless
tribal mass will have to change their age old
occupation. Education for all, the aspect on which
much emphasis is laid by the government these days
would take a Volta-face scenario there as there would
be difficulties in schooling of the children. The other
aspects like change in land ownership and change
in standard of living of the local tribal people will
also be seriously jeopardized.
The most important ethical consideration that
needs to be mentioned here is that the idea of
Zeliangrong Naga as separate from others is based
on the belief centered around Zeihlat and six other
lakes. According to them, if the lakes go or the
falls disappear, they would treat it like the people
in the Gangetic valley losing Varanasi, Allahabad
and Haridwar. According to them, they are
Zeliangrong Nagas because there is the Zeihlat
lake. Nothing can ever damage the lake.
(G) IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
Every hydro-electric projects unavoidably
submerges some of its ambient areas often
containing valuable forests and its denizens, the
wildlife, cultivable areas, human habitations etc
and thus affect the overall environment of the
locality. It thus demands a careful scrutiny and
assessment of the role played by the forests (to be
lost) in meeting ecological and environmental
balance and the needs of the indigenous
communities living therein for generations.
Construction activities may involve new settlement
of a group of immigrated labour force, construction
of roads, movement of heavy machineries and
resultant noise pollution, apart from deforestation,
may cause adverse impact on a large scale. All these
aspects deserve careful attention.
The change in the Physical and chemical
climate condition of the project site may lead to
temperature stratification. The project activities
may also cause instability in the form of landslides
and soil erosion, violent disturbance of pristine
areas. Eroded soil would fill up the reservoir after
some time. Variations in nutrient contents and
dissolved oxygen would render the water
inhospitable to aquatic life. The dam is expected
to affect aquatic life and riparian communities,

counted by the IPCC. Natural CO 2 and water

 Regarding the rise of temperature of the earth,
it is noticed that IPCC report is based on the global
temperature data only for during the period of 1963
– 87. Depending on only 24yrs data, a scientific
theory like global warming cannot be formulated
in the perspective of millions of years constituting
geological time scale. Again Santer et al (1996)
on whose the IPCC had based on had intentionally
selected and used the temperature data only for this
period with the aim to show the continuous rising
trend.
Average World Temperature
(Michaels and Knappenberger, 1987)
Thus they influenced IPCC and become
successful. They kept hiding the actual temperature
swings shown by Michaels and Knappenberger
(1987) for the whole period including both before
and after 1963-87. Thus the first Assessment Report
of the IPCC was prepared based on these
intentionally selected data and it was again changed
by political appointees in the IPCC to form a theory
which was highly objected by large number of
scientists ever witnessing a corruption of scientific
processes. Thus the global warming theory was
initiated and made an important issue before
scientists to run and continue it in their future
investigations. IPCC has launched a continuous
effort to establish the theory through their works
by their scientists in different fields. In 2007, IPCC
passed its more updated Fourth Assessment Report
in the UN and handed over to the policy makers of
different countries of the world.
The sources of CO2 emission on the earth are:
1) From anthropogenic source (1%)
2) Under oceanic water volcanic eruption
from mid oceanic ridges especially from
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
3) Oceans are emitting CO2 to the atmosphere
dominantly out of which 72% by the

contributes 97%. Only the termites, as for example,
can produce CO2 for many times more than that of
all the factories and automobiles in the world.

was a natural one. 82% of CO 2 enters into
atmosphere after 1940. Between 1940 and 1975,
the emission of CO2 strongly high but the global
temperature was remaining cool scaring stories of
new ice age in the media.
Melting of Arctic and Antarctic ice caps and
inland and continental glaciers due to global
warming is made responsible for the rise of sea
level. It is absurd to assume that melting of floating
ice can raise the sea level; rather it will reduce the
sea level. Melting of glaciers cannot produce effect
to that level of rise of sea level. Complete
disappearance of glacier system will be another
absurdity which is found in the report of IPCC.
Melting of ice in the poles is also not true. Sea
level rise for the last 18,000 yrs was to the level of
400 ft without the effect of CO2. Ice shelves of the
poles used to break many times more than before
the period of industrialization. It is a natural process
of interglacial warming effect which actually
recurrently occurred throughout geological times.
Side looking interferometry results prove the
opposite conditions, i.e. deposition of ice at the
rate of 26 billion tons per year in the west Antarctic
ice sheet which was previously melt down for 2/3
part since the last Ice Age i.e. the Pleistocene.
Discussion of global warming effect on Antarctica
is only centering its peninsular area furthest from
the pole which is constituted only 2% of the total
area of the Antarctica, but the entire 98% of the
Antarctica is in the process of continuous
deposition of ice, pushing the continental glaciers
towards its periphery to melt down there. The entire
Antarctica is getting continuously colder which is
proved by British Meteorological Station there.
Depending on this basis and on the increase of
Aerosols in the atmosphere, Global Dimming is
noticed by some scientists. Arctic Ocean is
warming due to cyclic event in the Pacific while
/ 52
Greenland and Eastern Arctic is getting colder and
colder. Greenland ice grows more than 7 ft thick
after 1980. Submergence of low soft alluvial coast
by sea levels is the work of erosion and retreating
of coastlines by sea waves which is a natural
process of coastal geomorphology.
Retreat of Glaciers with Reference to 1950
Recession of glaciers is also a natural process.
Since 1750, 169 glaciers of the earth have been
receding which of course, occurred much before the
increase of CO 2 from 1940 i.e. before
industrialization. The glaciers were also even smaller
during medieval warm period in the past. Growing
and recession of size and length of glaciers is cyclic,
not due to global warming out of greenhouse effect.
Examples may be cited from Aletsch, Grindelwald
glaciers of Switzerland and Drangjokull,
Vatnajokull glaciers of Iceland which were smaller
in the middle age than their present sizes.
Computer models of climate and other events
were always proved wrong on which the IPCC
primarily depends on. Computer model forecasting
the earlier warming of the lower Troposphere than
the earth’s surface was proved to be false.
Observational evidences prove the computer
models to be false.
Solar Cycles and Global Temperature
53 /
Sunspots cycles, sun’s magnetic cycles,
cosmic rays, earth’s orbital change are the main
causes that increase temperature from short term
to long-term global climatic variations.
Clouds have hundred times stronger effect on
climate than CO 2. 1% increases of cloud will
double the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Increase of cloud occurs by 3% during 1980-
90.Variations of cosmic rays and solar wind are
responsible for increase of cloud. These factors are
also responsible for climatic variability through
their effect on clouds. Like Mars, the Earth may
also have the possibility of being heated without
the increase of CO2.
The First Assessment Report of the scientists
was changed by political appointees in the IPCC
and thus the scientific process was corrupted as
mentioned before. Many scientists raised their
polemic voices but could not resist it. The Second
Assessment Report again fell into controversy
centering its deceptively alteration of the main
report and in the altered version it is shown the
global warming due to “discernible human
influence on climate” which has used only a
selected portion of temperature data from Santer
et al to show the temperature rising. But if
considered the full data set, the increasing trend is
disappeared. There were no scientific reasons to
leave the full data set available and published in
Nature by Michaels and Knappenberger in 1996.
Many scientists raised their voices but could not
be successful. The Third Assessment Report raised
the temperature issue in “Hockey Stick”
presentation by Michael Mann et al showing a
thousand years of temperature in a horizontal trend
rising abruptly like a hockey stick beyond 1900.
This work was spuriously discredited even by
IPCC. The Fourth Assessment Report altered by
150 political appointees of different countries in
the IPCC again published defensively the global
warming theory and human role as driving force
on a better foundation publishing a huge number
of publications in support.
Environmental problems are there, but
interpretation about their origin in the light of
global warming theory through GHG is untenable.

W ith the globalization of Indian economy, the
responsibility of Indian Railways towards the economic
growth and trade expansion has increased many folds in recent
years. Today, the Speedier transportation of goods and passengers
in an eco-friendly way is the main objectives of Indian Railways.
There are about 14500 trains running everyday through the
length and breadth of the country carrying over 18 million
passengers and 2 million tonnes of freight daily,
covering about three and half times the distance of
the moon. Indian Railways has about 63500 km of
track. As to rolling stock, Indian Railways owns
over 200,000 (freight) wagons, 50,000 coaches
and 8,000 locomotives. Presently about 25% of
tracks are under overhead electric tractions,
which mainly uses electric locomotive of
various classes for operation. But the major
slice of the cake is still open and uses diesel
locomotives of various classes.
The greatest challenge before today’s
world is undoubtedly the global warming.
With the end of Copenhagen Summit, once
again it is clear that the developed countries
are not serious about solving the problem
of global warming but are trying to make
business out of it. So there is hardly any
chance that the countries will set aside their
differences and will try to solve the problem.

/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10

But the problem is getting more critical with the
passing of every second. With a huge amount of
release of carbon and other pollutant in the
atmosphere daily, transport is one of the largest
contributors of to the Global Warming. In India,
an army of technically backdated vehicles is
making the problem more critical. In Delhi, the
total pollutants released by the vehicle amounts to
66% of the total 3000 MT pollutants release.
Similarly it is 52% in Mumbai and close to 33% in
Kolkata. The scenario is more or less same
throughout the small-big cities in India.
It is the time to adapt the newer technology
in transport sector, or tomorrow may be too late.
Some rechargeable battery operated hybrid
technology for transport is available. But they
would not prove sufficient as they are in an early
stage of development, and may not prove sufficient
for mass transportation. So, the rapid development
of greener technology is the need of the hour.
Indian Railways has been proved a “pathfinder”
in developing, adapting and implementing the
greener technology. Many initiatives have already
been taken and more are in the pipeline of
development.
Indian Railways has to shoulder a big
responsibility towards climate change. Several
measures have been taken by Indian Railway to
make the operations more environment-friendly at
an aggregate level. the goals have been set in such
a way that not only the Operation and creation of
new infrastructure would not compromise on the
environmental resources but also would
compensate the environmental damaged caused by
the transport industry by adapting green eco-
friendly technologies. All the aspects of railway
operations and infrastructure creation are being
critically examined from the environmental angle.
Indian Railways had been using steam and
diesel locomotives for years. With the end of steam
era, diesel locomotives became the main haulage
medium for Indian Railways. With a fleet of over
4000 diesel locomotives running length and
breadth of the country, the emission of pollutant
particles, such as (CO, unburned HC, Pb
compounds, NOx, soot, suspended particulate
55 /
matter (SPM) and aldehydes etc.)was quite high.
But the environmental policy of Indian Railway
changed with time and gradually it is focusing on
alternative, more environmental friendly fuels,
which emits less pollutant.
Biodiesel is the mixture of diesels with
varying amount of oils derived from plants. In US
and Europe, soya-bean oil and other crops oil such
as corn oil, oil derived from sugarcane and palm
oil are used in diesel engines, while in India interest
has centred around Jatropha curcas, Pongammia
pinnata and Neem trees have proven useful as
source of bio-diesel subproduct. The jatropha seeds
contain up-to 40% oil. It is extracted and directly
used as a replacement of Diesel. Jatropha Oil has
four way benefits. Firstly it replaces the fossil fuel,
and in this way it delivers economic benefits at
the national level by reducing the import of diesel,
secondly it provides immediate economic benefits
at the local level by providing a chance to cultivate
in dry marginal non-agricultural land as Jatorpha
can be grown in such type of land. Thirdly since it
can be grown in dry non-agricultural land, the
agricultural lands and not engaged in cultivating
Jatropha plants. And finally since Jatropha oil is
carbon-neutral, large-scale production will improve
the country’s carbon emissions profile.
For past few years Indian Railways has
centred its focus on biodiesel. The first train to run
on bio-fuel in Indian Railway History is The New
Delhi-Amritsar Satabdi Express. On December
31st, 2002, the train was hauled by a 5% bio-diesel
fueled locomotive. In July 2004 and later, a YDM-
4 loco hauled the Trichi-Tanjore passanger with a
blend of 5% bio-diesel several times. Since then
the trails are carried out regularly. Now YDM-4
(6225)and YDM-7(11008) are regularly running
by Southern Railway using 10% bio-diesel
mixtures. A pilot plant capable of producing 150
litres of Bio-diesel daily has been set up at the Loco
workshop in Chennai. The Diesel Locomotive
Works is increasing the production of high horse
power fuel-efficient EMD design of locomotives
and is planning to switch over to manufacture these
locomotives completely in near future.
The newly introduced Mumbai suburban
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
train rakes, equipped with regenerative braking
system, has energy regeneration tendency. While
braking, they regenerate 35%-40% energy used for
hauling them. Indian Railways in association with
the world bank has developed a Project Design
document for registration with UNFCCC. The
project will result in approximate one hundred
thousand tons of CO2 emission each year. The
newly designed light weight stainless steel LHB
coaches with increased passenger carrying capacity
would prove to be more energy efficient. In near
future, the Dedicated Freight Corridors and the
High Speed Passenger Trains Corridors have the
prospect to reduce million tons of CO2 emission
per year. Indian Railways is planning to induct
energy efficient new-generation locomotives,
energy efficient tractions and rolling stocks which
would help to reduce energy consumption upto
15%.
Another Eco-friendly transportation initiative
by Indian Railways. It is developing technology
to run trains on compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
The Indian Railways institute of Alternate Fuels
has been set up to formulate technology to run
trains using compressed natural gas and Bio-Fuel.
Indian Railways has commissions two projects to
run not only local suburban trains but also haul
long distance goods as well as passenger trains
using CNG. Already some 200 Diesel Multiple
Units (DMUs) are having trial runs using CNG
Engines. Indian Railways anticipates to launch it
commercially, once the pilot project turns out to
be successful. Meanwhile, the Rail Design &
Standard Organization (RDSO) is also working to
modify the existing diesel locomotives to adapt
them to run on CNG. They are planning to setup
retrofit kits in the locomotives, which will allow
the locos to run on CNG, like it is done for cars.
Trails with a modified diesel locomotive
amended to use CNG as fuel were carried out at
Sakurbasti station. More recently two rakes with
diesel locomotives have been modified to run on
CNG. A DEMU rake with one diesel power coach
and three trailer coaches has been modified for
CNG use and has been running for several months
on Northern Railways. Early trial runs used up to
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
50% CNG in the fuel mix; in the field trials the
rake is running with 35% CNG. It is expected that
the resulting savings in fuel costs will pay for the
modifications within about 20 months of regular
use. Indian Railways is planning to run 14 Coaches
CNG DMU trains on Delhi-Rewari and Shamli-
Rohtak line.
Today, Indian Railways hauls abut 40% of
total container traffic of India. With a view to attract
more share of container traffic, the Ministry of
Railways has adoped a liberal policy. It has
permitted private entitles to undertake movement
of freight on privately owned container trains on
the Dedicated Freight Corridor. Apart, the decision
to introduce double stack container train over the
dedicated freight corridors will only reduce the
energy consumption but also will ensure speedy
delivery of freights.
Not only in transportation, Indian Railways
is taking various Eco-Friendly initiatives in other
areas as well. Recently a 10.5 MW capacity
windmill has started its operation at Tottapalli
village near Nagercoil to supply power at Integral
Coach Factory, Perambur. It will meet the entire
electricity requirement of Integral Coach Factory,
Chennai, which is about 25 million units annually.
This project will help reduce the carbon emissions
and will help fight the cause for global warming.
In future at least 10% of energy used would be
sourced from renewable sources such as solar
power and biomass.
The announcement of Hon’ble Railway
Minister Ms. Mamata Banerjee to replace all the
energy inefficient incandescent bulbs with Compact
Florescent Lamps shows the seriousness of Indian
Railways towards eco-friendliness. There are almost
6.5 million quarters using approximately 26 million
bulbs. All these 26 million incandescent bulbs will
be replaced by Compact Fluorescent Lamps, and
the work has already started. It is expected that 1.4
lakh ton of CO2 emission would be reduced per year.
The project is entirely financed with the carbon credit
earned under CDM framework.
The Indian Railways is also planning measures
to improve energy efficiency of thousand of its stations
and premises and going to adopt Energy Conservation

KAMARUPA ANUSANDHANA SAMITI

(ASSAM RESEARCH SOCIETY)
Reg. No. 85 of 1960-61
Guwahati - 781001
Centenary Celebration (7th April, 2010 to 7th April, 2011)
The Kamarupa Anusandhana Samiti (The Assam Research Society), the oldest research institution
in North East India, which was established in 1912 by a galaxy of distinguished scholars and researchers
to throw light on the past history, culture and civilization of ancient Assam and disseminate research
findings throughout India and abroad is going to celebrate the centenary during the year from 7th April,
2010 to 7th April, 2011. It may be mentioned that this institution has to its credit a good number of
books and research journals of high standard and many volumes of its journal, viz. ‘The Journal of the
Assam Research Society’ which have drawn the attention and admiration of national and international
scholars. Besides, a number of valuable ancient manuscript of Assam were edited and published by the
Kamrupa Anusandhana Samiti.
The Kamrupa Anusandhana Samiti possesses a large number of manuscripts of great importance,
besides a library which remains open for researchers and scholars.
It is, therefore, not necessary to emphasize that it would be pertinent to celebrate the centenary of
the Kamarupa Anusandhana Samiti in a dignified manner. Needless to say that such a centenary celebration
would require a handsome amount of money for publishing the proposed commemoration volumes,
souvenirs and past history of Kamarupa Anusandhana Samiti.
The centenary Celebration Committee of the Kamarupa Anusandhana Samiti, therefore, earnestly
makes an appeal to you all to donate generously for making the celebration a success.
Thanking you,

Introduction :
M ass communication is the term used to
describe the academic study of the various
means by which individuals and entities relay
information through mass media to large segments
of the population at the same time. It is usually
understood to relate to newspaper and magazine
publishing, radio, television and film, as these are
used both for disseminating news and for
advertising.
Characteristics Of Mass Communication :
Cambridge University’s John Thompson has
identified five characteristics of mass
communication. Firstly, it ‘‘comprises both
technical and institutional methods of production
and distribution.’’ This is evident throughout the
history of the media, from print to the Internet,
each suitable for commercial utility.
Secondly, it involves the ‘‘co-modification
of symbolic forms’’, as the production of materials
relies on its ability to manufacture and sell large
quantities of the work. Just as radio stations rely
on its time sold to advertisements, newspapers rely
for the same reasons on its space.
Mass communication’s third characteristics
is the ‘‘separate contexts between the production
and reception of information’’, while the fourth is
in its ‘‘reach to those 'far removed' in time and
space, in comparison to the producers’’.
Mass communication, involves
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
Dr. Sanjita Chetia
‘‘information distribution’’. This is a ''one to many''
form of communication, whereby products are
mass-produced and disseminated to a great quantity
of audiences. (Thompson ; 1995)
Purpose :
Mass communication can be used for various
purposes :
Š Advocacy, both for business and social
concerns. This can include advertising,
marketing, propaganda, public relations
and political communication.
Š Entertainment, traditionally through
performances of acting, music and sports
along with light reading; since the late 20th
century also through video and computer
games.
Š Public service announcements.
The main function of education is
communication of knowledge, skill and attitudes.
The mass media are known to have great potential
in communicating these effectively. (Emery et al,
1965). Men hurting through space send back radio
reports of what they experience. Cameras mounted
on space shuttles give us close-up televised
photographs of the moon’s surface. Television
programmes are being transmitted from one side
of the world to another by bouncing of signals off
a satellite in orbit. Each year brings additional
wonders in the craft of communication. With
computers and instantaneous transmission systems
/ 58
we are blending time and space to our will.
The Working Group of Educational
Technology in 1978 recognised the importance of
television as a persuasive and effective medium for
education and recommended that the educational
technology programme should focus attention on
the use of radio and television with a view to reach
out to the largest possible members of people in
different categories. Educational broadcasting can
become a major instrument of education as well as
a significant component of distance and alternative
learning systems of various categories of learners.
There are number of compelling reasons for
incorporating technology into the instruction of
mass communication. As technology plays an
increasing important role in our lives, it becomes
vital to expose journalism students to that
technology (Singer et al, 1996). And indeed new
technology is heavily used throughout the
journalism and mass communication industry
(Bowen and Durbin, 2001). Technology has caused
a revolution in the way we teach and learn but there
can be no real revolution unless the faculty changes
how they teach (Zemsky and Massey ; 2004)
Objectives :
1. To develop an understanding of modern
technology in education.
2. To be able to know and appreciate the
different instructional media.
Forms of Mass Communication :
Electronic media and print media include :
Š Broadcasting, in the narrow sense, for radio
and television.
Š Various types of discs or tapes. In the 20th
century, these were mainly used for music.
Video and computer uses followed.
Š Film, most often used for entertainment, but
also for documentaries.
Š Internet, which has many uses and presents
both opportunities and challenges. Blogs
and podcasts (such as news, music, pre-
recorded speech, and video).
Š Mobile phones, often called the 7th Mass
Media, used for rapid breaking news, short
clips of entertaiment like jokes, horoscopes,
alerts, games, music, and advertising.
59 /
Š Publishing, including electronic publishing.
Š Video games, which have developed into a
mass form of media since cutting-edge
devices such as the Play Station 3, XBox
360, and Wii broadened their use.
Emerging Technologies And Their Educational
Relevance :
An emerging technology is one that, as it’s
maturing, is redesigning the educational process.
Emerging technologies such as Skype, Podcasting
with digital Audio Recording, Moodle (a course
management systems), Wikis (collaborative
encyclopedias), and Blogs are redefining the way
teacher teach and students learn. These technologies
are changing the traditional school environment into
one of excitement and cooperative learning. With
these teacher instead takes the role of guide and
coach. But before discussing further on impact on
teaching learning scenario in coming years.
Mobile Learning :
Mobile learning or m-learning is defined as
‘‘Using mobile technologies, including mobile
phones and hand held devices to enhance the
learning process’’. As ‘‘mobile’’ implies that the
technology is wirelessly connected, this means that
learners are not restricted to one learning
environment and m-learning allows them to access
information anywhere and at anytime. Horizon
Report (2008) states ‘Mobile now keep us in touch
in almost all the ways that laptops used to; with
email, web browsing, photos and videos,
documents, searching and shopping – all available
anywhere without the need to find a hotspot or a
power outlet.
The fact that many students already own and
carry mobiles remains a key factor in their potential
for education. Added to that is the tremendous pace
of innovation in this sector, where competition is
driving continual advancements (Horizon Report,
2008). The report further elaborates ‘Students doing
fieldwork are using mobiles to take notes and
photographs and send them directly to a course blog,
where they receive instructor feedback : colleagues
using virtual collaboration tools have access to
materials while travelling or otherwise away from
their computers. Academics are now beginning to
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
acknowledge the importance of m-learning. For
example, the ‘‘new generation’’ of young
individuals or the present and future participants of
e-learning interventions have been described as
‘always on, one handed texting, instant messaging
and multi-tasking.
Wireless Technologies :
The term, ‘‘wireless technologies’’ by its very
terminology, is self explanatory and can be linked
to m-learning to some extent. Wireless technology
allows the learner to access information at their
convenience. An example of wireless technology
is iBurst, which offers wireless broadband internet
that allows learners to access the internet at any
location. Technologies like iBurst allows cheap
telephone calls over the internet, as speeds increase,
will be able to handle ‘video-on-demand’
The technology makes it possible for learners
to access almost any internet content and motivates
them to learn at their own pace and in an
environment that suits them. In this way, iBurst
represents an inexpensive and effective learning tool
that allows teachers to manage their students more
effectively: to have more control over course content
and communicate with colleagues easily.
Skype :
‘Skype’ is a software that allows one to talk
to people over the computer. With a fast connection,
Skype allows one to talk to up to five people over
the computer for free. If one has a good internet
connection (e.g. broadband). He/she can talk to
anyone in the world and the reception, based on
digital technology, is crystal clear. To use this
service, users are required to have an internet
connection, have downloaded the program and have
a microphone and headset.
Skype is quite helpful for language teachers.
By using this technology, they can connect their
language classrooms to a world of language
speakers. It offers good opportunity for teachers to
connect a language class to a group of foreign
language exchange. Skype is the best way for
students to practice communication of a new
Language. This way, the students can internet with
other students who speak the language. This way,
the students can internet with other students who
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
speak the language they are learning.
Podcast :
A podcast is a series of digital-media files
which are distributed over the Internet using
syndication feeds for playback on portable media
players and computers. The term podcast, like
broadcast, can refer either to the series of content
itself or to the method by which it is syndicated;
the latter is also called podcasting. The host or
author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.
The options for using Podcasting as a teaching
resource are beyond imagination.
Teachers can create their own podcasts that
are related to the subject they are teaching as
supportive information. The education Podcast
Network allows teachers to connect and collaborate
via a podcast. They can view podcasts created by
academics within their field of expertise, and are
also given the opportunity to produce their own
programs. In this way, podcasting enables the
participating teachers to ‘shade their knowledge,
insight and passions for teaching. Furthermore,
podcasting has the functional capacity to assist
students’ learning. For example, podcasting not only
provides teachers with the flexibility to post
important segments of their lectures online, or their
interview with experts, but also allows students to
view and create their own podcasts on material
covered in class, or in their textbooks.
Wiki :
Wiki is sometimes interpreted as the acronym
for ‘‘What I know, Is’’ which describes the
knowledge contribution, storage and exchange up
to some point. The name is based on the Hawaijan
term wiki meaning ‘‘quick’’ ‘‘fast’’ or ‘‘to hasten’’.
A wiki is a group of web pages that allows others
(often completely unrestricted) to edit the content.
The wiki is a simpler process of creating HTML
pages and provides tools by which individuals can
discuss wiki changes and alterations. Content
displayed on a wiki can be constantly modified, with
changes being recorded as the content is updated.
By keeping records of all modifications, wiki
creators may at anytime change the content and / or
the site’s functionality to its previous state. As wiki
functions with the intent of sharing and exchanging
/ 60
knowledge it can be used to support the
collaboration of learners. In this way, learners can
develop a more comprehensive understanding of
all the issues in question. Learners can feel
empowered by having the opportunity to build on
their knowledge and can subsequently derive a sense
of involvement.
Blogs (Web Logs) :
Blogging has become a huge form of media,
popular through the internet. A blog is a website,
usually maintained by an individual, with regular
entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or
other material such as graphics or video. Entries
are commonly displayed in reverse chronological
order. Many blogs provide commentary or news on
a particular subject; others function as more personal
online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images,
and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media
related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave
comments in an interactive format is an important
part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual,
although some focus on art (artlog), photographs
(photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3
blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider
network of social media. Micro-blogging is another
type of blogging which consists of blogs with very
short posts.
Weblogs allow teachers to communicate with
students and parents as they can log daily class
activities. The teachers and learners can easily create
their weblogs to disseminates and share ideas, study
material, research work/findings or their views on
different educational aspects. They can regularly
edit their postings on their weblogs and use weblogs
to universalize their ideas and achievement for
academic world and community. Teachers can also
use weblogs as portals to list homework
assignments, classroom procedures, and class work.
Students can use the weblog to post their own work
and have it commented by their teachers and
classmates.
Moodle :
Moodle is a virtual learning environment. It
is an online designed to mimick the classroom
experience. Moodle is like a virtual classroom and
Moodle homepage behaves just like a website does.
61 /
The downside to MOODLE is that it must be hosted
by an outside source and is not free. A moodle
homepage (or class website) looks and acts just like
a website. There are links to the course calendar,
online syllabus, weekly topics, assignment
descriptions, discussion forums and so on students
are able to jump around from one week to the next
so they will always be able to find information they
may have missed.
Moodle is especially useful for a teacher
because she/he can create links to resources for
students, create and assess quizzes and has control
over the entire site. Therefore, the teacher can
monitor student activity, add/delete any of the
content, keep track of grades, which can be either
accessed or hidden from student view. Teachers can
post links to the class calendar , links to assignments
that need to be completed, an online syllabus, and
discussion forms. This gives students the ability to
find information they may have missed because they
were absent form class. Teachers can also create
and give tests, monitor students' activity, edit
content and organize grades. Moodle helps teacher
to keep total control of the learning environment.
Moodle also allows for a class forum where topics
relevant to course material can be discussed. A great
benefit of having a class forum is that students are
given the freedom to gather their thoughts and
express themselves without the pressures felt in
classroom discussions.
Instant Messaging (IM) :
IM is an acronym for instant Messaging. It
is‘‘a tool that successfully supports informal
communication’’. A form of IM is SMS technology.
IM is a synchronous learning tool, which is as e-
learning context can provide the students with real
time and instant learning opportunities. IM, as a
real-time communication tool can be utilized as a
delivery option for hearing impaired students. This
allows them to access teachers without a third party
to interpret. Learners can be also use this to get
automated feedback from assignments or questions,
freeing the tutor from any additional workload .
IM in its SMS form has proved to be extremely
effective amongst a group of hearing impaired
students. With the assistance of IM technology, these
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
students were able to communicate in real time and
use this medium as a tool to facilitate
communication with their teachers without the
support of an interpreter. The most common use of
IM within an e-learning context has been to provide
a cooperative learning environment. Users of IM
are said to be able to articulate ideas, issues and
options in real time. As such, IM can be used to
engage and maintain learner interest as
correspondence occurs in a timely manner.
Although some people may become confused by
dialogue or the functionality of chat room
discussion. It would appear that the positive facets
of IM far outweigh this limitation.
CONCLUSION:
Mass communication denotes a section of
the media specifically designed to reach a very large
audience such as the population of a nation state.
The term was coined in the 1920s with the advent
of nationwide radio networks, mass-circulation
newspapers and magazines. However, some forms
of mass media such as books and manuscripts had
already been in use centuries. The term public media
has a similar meaning : it is the sum of the public
mass distributors of news and entertainment across
media such as newspapers, television, radio,
broadcasting, which may require union membership
in some large markets such as newspaper Guild,
AFTRA, and text publishers.
Mass media includes Internet media (like
blogs, message boards, podcasts and video sharing)
because individuals now have a means to exposure
that is comparable in scale to that previously
restricted to a select group of mass media producers.
The communications audience has been viewed by
some commentators as forming a mass society with
special characteristics, notably atomization or lack
of social connections, which render it especially
susceptible to the influence of modern mass-media
techniques such as advertising and propaganda . The
term "MSM" or "mainstream media" has been
widely used in the blogosphere in discussion of the
mass media and media bias.
Internet is quickly becoming the center of mass
media. Everything is becoming accessible via the
Internet, instead of picking up a newspaper or
watching the news people will log onto the get the
news they want, when they want it. Even the
education system relies on the Internet. Teachers can
contact the entire class by sending one e-mail. They
have web pages where students can get another.
In the times to come in recent future we should
make our self well conversed with the emerging
facilities which helps in teaching-learning and
acquiring knowledge in the field of education.
Because through mass media whole world is being
squeezed in a smaller circle where efficient learning
as well as teaching can take place. In this regard we
have got to make our self well acquainted with all
these modern techniques and facilities to keep the
pace with present days growth rate in the field of
education so that a fair amount of upliftment in the
standard of education can be achieved.
We may confer out here that mass media plays
an important role which enhanced the grape vine
of education among the mass of the world.„

 Rajen Barua
P eople generally like to treat science and religion
as two different fields altogether, each working
in antagonism to each other. It was Albert Einstein,
the scientist, who tried to show the relation between
the two with his remarkable quote, “Science
without religion is blind, and religion without
science is lame.” During the last fifty years there
have been several outstanding books published that
try to explain the world view unifying the science
and metaphysics together for the common reader.
Stephan Hawkins, another great scientist of the day,
wrote a remarkable book, ‘A Brief History of Time’
which is an exploration in the outer limits of
science, and addresses such questions as “Was there
a beginning of Time? Will there be an end? Is the
Universe infinite?” and other such questions that
were normally considered off the limits of science.
Hawkins was addressing the issues purely from a
scientist’s point of view. Then we have Dr. Ervin
Laszlo, a recipient of four honorary PhDs, who
wrote a historic book, ‘Science and the Akashic
Field’ (Akashic from the Sanskrit word Akash=sky)
that tries to give an integral theory of science and
metaphysics for the world view. Fritziof Capra,
another scientist in theoretical high energy physics,
wrote a very popular book, ‘The Tao of Physics’
that gives an integration of the mathematical world
view of modern physics and the vision with the
Buddhist and other Eastern mystical vision. The
65 /
American-Indian doctor-philosopher Deepak
Chopra has been writing several books where we
find a meeting ground of modern science and
eastern mysticism. These are all outstanding books
which have received wide acclaim in the
international field and have been doing great service
in bringing a synthesis between science and
metaphysics.
This is a subject which is close to my heart,
and like many others, I have been exploring on
my own limited way to find a happy synthesis
between science and religion. In view of above, it
was a pleasant surprise when the American
publisher sent me for review a courtesy copy of
the book, ‘The Circle of Fire, (The Metaphysics
of Yoga)’ written on similar subject. I was doubly
pleased and surprised because the book was
written by an Assamese. Frankly speaking, I was
starting to read the book with certain skepticism
in my mind. However, once I started the book, I
could not stop before finishing the 400 page long
book. After reading it, I realized that ‘The Circle
of Fire’ is indeed another such outstanding book
where science and metaphysics meet. Looking at
the reviews of the book, I realized that I was not
alone in my high acclaim for the book. However,
before dealing with the reviews, let me write about
the author and about the book.
‘The Circle of Fire: The Metaphysics of
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
Yoga’ is written by a young Assamese surgeon from
Guwahati, Dr P.J. Mazumdar, and is published by
North Atlantic Books in USA. The book is however
yet to be released in India. Like other books on the
meeting of science and spirituality, The Circle of
Fire is ambitious in scope and a challenging,
rewarding read. Mazumdar is not afraid to ask the
big questions like, “What is God?” and “Who
created the universe?”. While explaining answers
to these questions, the book grapples with an
exhilarating array of eternal metaphysical riddles
and provides a broad examination of all the
religions of the world with particular emphasis on
the Indian philosophy of Advaita and Buddhism.
The book also gives a lucid exploration of the
modern frontiers of science in different fields
covering a broad range of topics such as Big Bang
theory, Darwin’s theory of evolution, DNA, theory
of relativity and Quantum physics and many others.
All these modern discoveries of science, especially
Darwin’s theory of evolution and Quantum
mechanics, have revolutionized our knowledge of
the world so much that many of the old religious
beliefs became almost redundant. Science has
shown that “The beating of the heart, for example
is only due to some specially constituted proteins
in the heart muscle, cells that polarize and
depolarize rhythmically as long as they are
supplied with energy in the form of ATP”. (pp 35)
Quantum physics also rules out a deterministic
world being controlled by an almighty God.
Mazumdar writes, “The progress of our knowledge
in the origin and course of life poses a serious
challenge to the traditional concept of religion. The
dominance of God is derived in most religions from
his importance in creating and sustaining life. But
the role cannot be believed in any more. Science
has shown that there is no need to posit any divine
hand in the origin of life; the human race does not
occupy a central position, nor was it created
differently from the rest. The new knowledge has
demolished the beliefs at the core of most religions,
and as a result much of their doctrines have become
redundant. It is untenable now for religions with
pre-evolutionary concept to sustain their teachings
in light of this knowledge. Only religions that can
accept evolution and other scientific discoveries
can achieve harmony with our intellectual progress
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
and spiritual needs.” (pp15).
In the book, Mazumdar explains that the
metaphysics underpinning only two religions:
Buddhism and Advaita, although they appear to
contradict each other, are the only theories that
remain consistent with the findings of modern
science. Mazumdar explains in details how and
why. In doing so, he gave a very clear and concise
view of all the dualist religions who believe in a
supreme creator for the universe. The theory of God
as a creator is not only inconsistent with modern
science but also inconsistent with metaphysical
logics. It may be noted that in the beginning, the
Vedas asked the right question if the creator knows
whence the existence came. In fact the book starts
with the famous quote from the Vedas “Then who
knows from whence came this universe? Who is
controlling it from the highest of the Heavens - .
Perhaps he knows, or perhaps even He knows not!”
(Rig Veda X.129). Mazumdar writes, “Modern
science has finally proven the contention of
Advaita, and also of Buddhism, that the world has
only an ill-defined, realty, and these two religious
traditions are today the only ones consistent with
our knowledge of the world.” (pp 105). …”For
the advatitists, there is no God to turn to, none to
guide them, and none who can punish or reward
them.” (pp137). Compared to Advaita, other forms
of Hinduism are either dualist or qualified monism.
“The idea that the world is in realty an ill defined,
nebulous world, was a cornerstone of Advaitism
and Buddhism, and had always, attracted much
criticism from other philosophers…..But now
modern scientific discoveries have also uncovered
just such a view of the world.”( pp 209).
The position of Buddhism may in fact be
compared to that of science itself; originally
Buddha refused to deal with any metaphysical
questions. Instead it deals with realty and explains
the world the way it is. Thus Buddhism rejects the
speculation of Advaita and all other forms of
Hinduism that there is an ultimate non changeable
Brahman or God. “The Buddhist proposes a world
that exists in itself. There is no higher realty; this
world has what is called dependant reality….In
Buddhism everything is seen to be composed of
discontinuous, discrete particles. Even the flow of
time is seen merely a stream of discontinuous
/ 66
moments, which add together. Consciousness is
also is a stream of individual flashes of thoughts
and sensations.” (pp 215). In fact the title of the
book, ‘The Circle of Fire’ is a Buddhist term coined
by the renown Buddhist scholar Nagarjuna to
explain the world the way it is. When a fire band is
whirled around, it gives the illusion of a ‘circle of
fire’. According to the Buddhists, the universe is
such. It also can be compared to a movie which in
reality is movement of a series of still pictures in
high speed. Advaitism also states that the universe
is an illusion (Maya) but unlike the Buddhists,
maintains that there is a continuous flow and there
is an unchangeable Brahman behind all this
illusion. It is no wonder that Sankaracharya, the
architect of the modern Advaita movement in
Hinduism, is called a crypto Buddhist.
Having explained about the book, let us now
see how the American readers are reviewing the book
in Amazon.com website. One reader writes, “Fritziof
Capra’s pioneering work (The Tao of Physics) not
only succeeded in introducing the field of quantum
physics to a wide, non-scientifically oriented
audience but also unveiled ancient, spiritual
principles at work within the physical universe
working in harmony with this new science. Now 34
years later P. J. Mazumdar’s book `The Circle of
Fire’ takes us deeper into the mysteries of the
physical and non-material universe exploring the
generally unnoticed, or ignored underlying harmony
between modern science, Indian philosophy,
Advaita, and the metaphysics of yoga.“ Another
American reader writes, “`The Circle of Fire’ is a
challenging and rather imposing 389 page volume…
However once one takes that first step you will soon
discover the author is a talented and accomplished
communicator possessing the ability to relate both
scientific and esoteric subject matter to his reading
audience in a clear, intelligent and highly accessible
manner. Mazumdar writes in a flowing, easy, almost
conversational style that will immediately put the
reader at ease. You will find yourself so immersed
in this book that the pages will quickly disappear,
the many diverse disciplines and concepts converge,
(Rajen Barua is an engineer by profession and is a freelance writer. Barua lives in Houston, Texas and may be
reached at email: barua25@hotmail.com)
67 /
and the authors point made before you realize the
conversation is drawing to a close.” And Mazumdar
deals the dry scientific and metaphysical views with
passion and enthusiasm . One reader writes,
“Mazumdar is able to bring, through his knowledge
of Modern Science, the necessary lucidity to find
the satisfactory congruence with contemporary
knowledge, and the ancient hallowed teachings of
Advaita Vedanta and Non-Dualism.“ Another writes,
“in my opinion the authors enthusiasm infuses his
presentation with the spirit of adventure and
discovery, raising Mazumdar work above the field
of dry, impersonal analysis into the realm of personal
applicability and infinite possibilities….This superb
book tackles the difficult questions contained in the
Metaphysics of Yoga with great clarity, so that to-
day’s educated laymen, eager to understand these
great Truths, will find it comparatively easy to
comprehend them.”I would like to make a statement
that the considering the scope of the book, I think
that it should have been better subtitled ‘The
Metaphysics of the Universe’ instead of the present
‘The Metaphysics of Yoga’. Let me conclude with a
quote from another American reader about the book,
“This highly successful achievement makes a unique
contribution to the literature, directed towards the
understanding and solution of the many metaphysical
questions, relating to Higher Consciousness Studies
and the task of Self Realization. I am confident that
this book will serve as an indispensible guide for all
those earnest readers keen to follow and understand
the essential wisdom of the major Upanashadic
Truths, still applicable more than ever for the modern
man and woman.”
It is to the pride of Assam, nay to India, that
such a profound book came out from an Assamese
writer. We are sure to see more from this young
writer in the future. Let us hope that the book will
be published in India sooner than later for the
benefit of the Indian intellectual readers, because
irrespective of whether you are an atheist, or a
scientist, or a Buddhist, or a Hindu, or a Christian
or whatever your belief is, you owe it to yourself
to read the ‘The Circle of Fire’.„

O ne important & practical aspect of
modern human civilization is the
question of nationality. It was even implicit
in the French revolution when the institution
of ‘associated labour’ was discovered in
communes of the workers. Karl Marx wrote
“The Second Empire had been the jubilee of
cosmopolitan blackleggism, the rakes of all
countries rushing in at its call for a share in its
orgies and in the plunder of the French people.
Even at this moment, the right hand of Theirs
is Ganessco, the foul Wallachian, and his left
hand is Markovsky, the Russian spy. The
Commune admitted all foreigners to the honor
of dying for an immortal cause. Between the
foreign war lost by their treason, and the civil
war fomented by their conspiracy with the
foreign invader, the bourgeoisie had found the
time to display their patriotism by organizing
police hunts upon the Germans in France. The
Commune made a German working man [Leo
Frankel] its Minister of Labor. Thiers, the
bourgeoisie, the Second Empire, had
continually deluded Poland by loud
professions of sympathy, while in reality
betraying her to, and doing the dirty work of,
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
Arup Baishya
Russia. The Commune honored the heroic sons
of Poland [J. Dabrowski and W. Wróblewski] by
placing them at the head of the defenders of Paris.
And, to broadly mark the new era of history it
was conscious of initiating, under the eyes of the
conquering Prussians on one side, and the
Bonapartist army, led by Bonapartist generals, on
the other, the Commune pulled down that colossal
symbol of martial glory, the Vendôme Column”.1
The year 1848 was a turning-point in
Europe. The defeat of the revolution meant that
the national question had to be solved by other
means. Marx hoped that the task of resolving
national question would be achieved from below
by the working class using revolutionary means.
Since the proletariat had failed to solve this
question by revolutionary means in 1848, it was
solved by reactionary means by conservative
Prussian Junker Bismarck. Marx always opposed
the reactionary Bismarck, but when the latter
succeeded in uniting Germany, Marx and Engels
reluctantly were compelled to support it as step
forward, because it would facilitate the unification
of German proletariat. So the ideologically
important premise is to see the way in which
the national question is resolved, by which class
/ 68
and in whose interest.
The nationality question became more
complicated with the emergence of imperialist
capital or with the beginning of colonial era. The
development of ‘communist mass consciousness’
in the wake of bourgeois role on nationality
question in the post Russian-revolutionary period
had been neglected and viewed as an organizational
task to develop proletarian revolution against
capital under the leadership of erstwhile soviet
Russia, despite Lenin’s unequivocal emphasis on
national autonomy to the point of secession and
on bourgeois role on anti colonial – anti imperialist
struggle. Lenin always advocated the right of the
various national minorities to full autonomy “to
the point of secession”, whereas Stalin degraded
them to nothing more than “border region” to be
retained at all cost, in strictest subordination to the
interest of Russia. Invasion of Georgia was mainly
carried out by Stalin keeping Trotsky unaware.
Lenin agreed to invasion, but urged to ensure that
the “Russian bully” would help and not dominate
the Georgian revolution. That’s why Lenin wrote
in 1922 “the Georgian (Stalin) who is neglectful
of this aspect of the question or who carelessly
flings about accusation of “nationalist-socialism”
(whereas he himself is a real and true “nationalist-
socialist”, and even a vulgar Great-Russian bully),
violates, in substance, the interest of proletarian
class solidarity, for nothing holds up the
development and strengthening of proletarian class
solidarity so much as national injustice; “offended”
nationals are not sensitive to anything so much as
to the feeling of equality and violation of this
equality, if only through negligence or jest – to the
violation of their proletarian comrades. That is why
in this case it is better to over-do rather than
undergo the concessions and leniency towards
national minorities. That is why, in this case, the
fundamental interest of proletarian class struggle,
requires that we never adopt a formal attitude to
the national question, but always take into account
the specific attitude of the proletarian of the
oppressed nation towards the oppressor nation”.
However Lenin’s agreement with the invasion
in the first instance is also questionable and
69 /
seems to be guided by the deterministic
approach of overemphasizing the external
factors rather than complete reliance on the
dynamics of internal forces.
This approach of Stalin had been extended
to the international situation then embroiled with
colonial and the nationality question and this
approach had been persuaded through the
organizational setup of comintern.
As the ideology is also epochally
circumscribed in the sense that the conflictual
orientation of the various forces of practical social
consciousness remain their prominent feature for
as long as societies are divided into classes. In the
context of post-Russian Revolutionary period
especially after Lenin, the point is to emphasize
the importance of the much neglected and often
completely ignored – relationship between
cultural/ideological changes and the social
movement to which they are objectively linked.2
Stalin’s approach towards national question
within the then soviet Russia had its bearing on
the communist parties of other countries, as the
communist international of which the parties of
other countries were members was under the
surveillance, patronization & mechanism of control
of Russia. On the question of periodisation of
history of comintern, historians may differ, but all
agree to the fact that the Russification of comintern
was complete by 1935 and with that withering
away of autonomy of the national section of
communist parties and establishment of almost
monolithic character of the comintern was also
complete.
“ The vast literature on this subject reflects
on two aspect of this mechanism : the internal
control mechanism which operated within
comintern; the external levers of control employed
by the comintern to maintain hold over communist
parties.
The mechanism of control within the
comintern broadly operated along two lines -
ideological and organizational. What it meant
was every voice of opposition, criticism and
difference was simply branded as anti-party and
counterrevolutionary, labeled as manifestation
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
of social democracy, Menshevism,
Liquidationism or anti-Bolshevism,
ideologically validating thereby the suppression
and control of any critic in the name of
revolution and socialism.
Organisationally, the control devices
within the comintern exhibited a high level of
complexity, involving centralization and
growing Russian domination of Executive
committee of the communist international
(ECCI), the detail of which are now available”3
The organizational question was delinked
from the crosscurrents of political life in order to
ensure firm holds of the ruling faction in the soviet
communist party over the comintern. The
ideological impatience towards difference of
opinion is revealed by the Stalin’s vituperative
attack on Rosa Luxemburg through his 1931 letter
entitled “On some Question concerning the history
of Bolshevism” followed by the liquidation of the
heritage of “Luxemburgism”.
“The necessary cementing function of the
ruling ideology becomes all the more evident (and
significant) if we recall that even its more aggressive
variants — from chauvinism to Nazism and to the
most recent ideologies of the ‘Radical Right’— must
claim to represent the overwhelming majority of the
population against the outside enemy, the ‘racially
inferior’ minorities, the so called ‘mere handful of
trouble-makers’ who are supposed to be the cause
of strikes and social unrest (‘the enemy within’ in
Mrs Thatcher’s parlance) etc.4
This ruling ideology is structurally
determined to misrepresent the narrow ‘self
interest’ as the ‘general interest’ of the society and
at times of major crisis, this claim of ‘general
interest’ gets exposed as empty rhetoric. For all
those who try to articulate the interest of the
subordinate classes should not only set out from
the premise that there is an alternative, but also
define the condition of bringing about that
alternative. That is why the socialist project cannot
content itself with the negativity of the political
revolution, however necessary, but must strive for
the intrinsically positive social revolution in the
course of which the associated individual can
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
‘change from top to bottom the condition of their
industrial and political existence, and consequently
their whole manner of being (Marx). And this is
why it must insist, with Rosa Luxemburg, that
‘socialism will not be established by any
government, however admirably socialist.
Socialism must be created by the masses, must be
made by every proletarian.
Evidently, such objectives cannot be
released without the work of emancipator
ideology through which necessary motivational
framework of transforming the social
individual’s ‘whole manner of being’ is defined
and constantly redefined. Not from about but
as a matter of consciously pursued self-activity.5
The question may arise, if the Russian
revolution is considered to be the culmination of
‘the self activity’, how the policy direction could
change so radically with the emergence of Stalin
at the helm affairs with his overwhelming
organizational control without any significant
manifestation of popular resistance from below.
Someone may argue that Lenin’s democratic stand
on National Question could easily be sidelined due
to the centralized organizational legacy that
prepared the ground for Stalin’s organizational
highhandedness. This part of ideological-
organisational history and Lenin vs. Luxemburg
debate on it will be dealt with separately at a later
stage. At this point, it is to be seen how the Russian
control in the communist movement sealed the fate
of a radical perspective on national question to
emerge and to go beyond the ‘ruling ideological’
framework even in the country like India.
The organizational-ideological intolerance,
divorce of organizational question from reality,
non-adherence to democratic principle, over
dependence on the skill & efficiency of the leaders
and perceived infallibility of the central policy
makers all resulted due to the skewed view on class
line and abandonment of mass line and led to the
ideological quagmire.
Basing on recent archival finding which
remained secret till the Gorvachev regime,
Sobhanlal Datta Gupta enumerated the history of
Comintern and the Indian Communist in his book
/ 70
titled “Comintern and the Destiny of Communism
in India 1919-43”. The national question was first
discussed in the comintern’s second congress. The
second congress and the Baku congress were the
first signal of the Comintern’s growing interest in
the East. Sobhanlal asserted that apart from the fall
of revolutionary wave in the west, there were very
specific Russian factor too which possibly explain
this shift. In the neighboring states of Soviet Russia
i.e. Turkey, Iran and China, liberation movement
were quite active, second, the Bolshevik, while
striving to control the former Russian colonies in
Central Asia, faced stiff opposition from Armenia
& Georgia, which, with the military and political
backing of Britain, also struggled to “liberate”
Azerbaijan from Soviet rule.
Lenin’s Imperialism (1917), followed by the
Colonial Thesis and M.N.Roy’s draft
supplementary thesis were both adopted in the
second congress (1920). Comintern’s
understanding of the strategy and tactics of the
Colonial question was summed up in the
‘Directives on the Nationality and colonial’ signed
by Lenin. In contrast, M.N.Roy’s position was
similar to Trotsky, who believed that “Indian
revolution can only be successful on a proletarian
revolution”. In the forth congress, Lenin upheld
the outlook projected by him at the second
congress, which aimed at diametrically fusing
the national and class question. The ‘Thesis on
the Eastern Question’ adopted by the comintern
stated that the ‘refusal of the communists in the
colonies to participate in the struggle against
imperialist oppression on the pretext of alleged
‘defense’ of independent class interest, is
opportunism of the worst kind calculated only to
discredit the proletarian revolution in the east”. In
the early twenties there were very few in the
comintern who appreciated Lenin’s stand.
In 1922, Gaya session of the Indian National
Congress received a document entitled ‘Program
of National Liberation & Reconstruction’ carrying
the signature of M.N.Roy and Abani Mukherjee in
the wake of growing peasant militancy with Chauri
Cheura incident and the passivity of Gandhi. On
the other hand, Dr. Manilal’s manifesto which was
71 /
drafted by Dr. Manilal & Abani Mukherjee
proposed the idea of a Labour Peasant Party of
India for national independence and also
advocated abolition of the standing army and
the police. It also proposed arming of the masses
and the organization of militia, while
dissociating itself from Bolshevik and later a
party was formed with almost similar program
ingrained in Manilal’s manifesto & class
demands. But M.N.Roy was against nationalist
and tried to persuade the new party to abandon its
path without much success. However through
M.N.Roy the destiny of Indian communism got
firmly anchored in the comintern and its future.
The first organization was formed in 1919 in
defense of the cause of the oppressed people of
the colonies in the East. Later in 1920, Indian
Revolutionaries association (IRA) was formed on
the initiative of Abdur Barq and M.P.B.T Acharyaa,
following their visit of Soviet Russia in 1919. IRA
comprised diverse elements, many of whom had
a strong inclination towards nationalism and
Pan-Islamism. Yet Lenin had no difficulty in
considering the IRA as a possible ally, while
formulating the strategy of anti-imperialist
struggle. Various documents reveal that Lenin’s
approach towards nationalism and non-communist
forces was different from comintern in the early
twenties and the leader like M.N.Roy whose vision
was focused on the premise that the path of
revolution and the nationalist path were simply
non-negotiable.
Fourth congress was the last congress Lenin
attended. After his death in 1924, in the fifth congress
there was not much discussion on colonial question.
By this time, inner party struggle within soviet
communist party was taking decisive turn and by
sixth congress Stalin was about to establish his
overwhelming control over the party and the
comintern. All opposition voices either gradually
subdued, maimed or purged. Monolithic nature of
comintern and overwhelming control hinged the fate
of the communist movement to the soviet party vis-
à-vis Stalin’s dictum. The aftermath of the sixth
congress witnessed the fall of Bukharin, the removal
of Roy for not siding with Stalin in the Stalin –
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
Bukharin conflict and purge of the “right”. The
ground was now set for a shift from the strategy
of anti-imperialist united front to that of “class
vs. Class” which was envisaged to lead the
international communist movement by the
“proletarian class ruled state of soviet Russia and
soviet party” and the transformation of
comintern from a platform for interaction of
diverse opinion and mutual support with the
autonomy of the communist parties to frame their
policy on the basis of the country specific
objective reality to a monolithic character with
full control of soviet party. This paradigm shift was
in vogue in the period that followed, namely,
1929-34.
The impact of this line was tragic, if not
brutal. In India it led to disaster. Under the
influence of the comintern and overwhelming
control of soviet party at a later stage, Indian
communists were oblivious to the specific
character of India reality. Till 1940 Indian
communists contemplated India as a single
nation. The communist party of India attempted
to develop its policy on national question during
early 1940s and advocated the formation of
linguistic state in the subsequent period on the
premise that India is multi-national country. In
1943 resolution affirmed “every section of the
Indian people which has a contiguous territory as
its homeland, common historical tradition,
common language, culture, psychological make up
and common economic life would be recognized
as a distinct nationality with the right to exist as
an autonomous state within the free Indian union
or federation and will have the right to secede from
it if it may so desire”.6

After 1947 in the post British period, though
Indian communists advocated linguistic states, but
it tragically failed to comprehend the overlapping
& multi-dimensional identity & consciousness of
the Indian people due to their adherence to the
Russian legacy of dogmatic deterministic approach
and in this context there remained a curious
inconsistency in their position on nationality
question and subsequently they even bade farewell
to the idea of “self determination”. This
deterministic approach moulded the ideological
mindset of the Indian first generation
communists like Dange whose “tunnel vision”
about the Indian history led him to overlook the
caste reality of India to suggest that Brahman
was the ‘commune of Aryan Man’ which was
contested by eminent Marxist historian
D.D.Kosambi.
Only after the Chinese revolution and the
failure of the subsequent Indian peasant upsurge
especially that of sixties and the growing rise of
community aspiration based on language, culture,
caste etc, a section of Marxist-Leninist parties have
started looking Indian situation objectively and to
theorise the issues at stake on Marxian outlook.
However the overall scenario in the Indian
communists circle are still mired with dogmatic
approach, slogan mongering or manufacturing
slogan for petty gains or doing nothing to rally the
people around this slogan, strict organizational
hierarchy detrimental to the cause of lively debate
and of people’s initiative. The Marxist concept of
withering away of state does not fit in with the
organizational practice of the communists. The
ideology behind this organizational practice needs
to be debated at length.„ (To be continued)

T he term ‘governance’ and ‘good-
governance’ are being increasingly used
in development literature. The concept of
‘Governance’ is as old as human civilization.
Simply it means ‘the process of decision
making and the process by decisions are
implemented’. Since governance is the process
of decision making or decision implemented
the analysis of governance focuses on the
formal or informal actors involved in decision
making and its implementation.
Government is one of the actors in
governance and other actors involved in the
process vary depending on the level of
Government. The other actors may include
land lords, NGOs, associations, co-operatives,
research institute, religious leaders, military,
political parties etc. at the rural level. At the
national level media, lobbyists, international
donors, multi-national corporations etc. may
play a role in decision making and decision
making process.
Good governance has eight major
characteristics. These are participatory,
consensus oriented, accountable, transparent,
responsive, effective and efficient, equitable
and inclusive and followed by the rule of law.
It assures that corruption is minimized, the
73 /
Dr. Tanusree Sarker
views of minorities are taken into account and
that the voice of the most vulnerable in society
are heard in decision making. It is also responsive
to the present and future needs of the society.
Participation by both men and women either
directly or through representative is the
cornerstone of good governance. It requires fair
legal frameworks that are enforced impartially.
The decision taken and their enforcement should
be transparent i.e. every information should be
accessible to those who are affected by such
decisions. This also means that enough
informations should be provided through press.
Good governance requires that institutions and
process try to serve all stakeholders within a
reasonable time-frame. Besides the other
characteristics accountability is the key
requirement of good governance. Not only the
governmental institution the private sector and
civil society organizations must be accountable
to the public and to their institutional
stakeholders. A modest attempt has been made
here to analyse what role has played by the press
in Assam to make the government responsive and
accountable.
“One of the subject of a news paper is to
understand the popular feeling and give
expression to it, another is to arouse the people
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
certain desirable sentiments, the third is fearlessly
to expose popular defects”— M.K. Gandhi. This
statement of Gandhiji explain the importance of
press in upholding freedom and is expanding
education and social reform and change. Media can
inform the people giving them the voice to be heard
and heeded to . Democracy requires that people
should have the right to know the activities of the
Government, especially the decision of the Govt.
that affects the life, liberty and property of the
people. Information is important for the people to
make choices regarding their participation in the
state. Media both print and electronic helps people
to know what is happening around the world,
socialize them and equip them with the elements of
modernity.
In an International conference held on 1-3
May, 2005 on Media and Good Governance on the
occasion of World Press Freedom Day organized
by UNESCO, a declaration was passed by the
representatives of 150 states that “Independent and
pluralistic media are essential for ensuring
transparency, accountability and participation as
fundamental elements of good governance and
human rights based development”. The declaration
emphasizes the need for national authorities to
create an environment that is favourable to free and
independent media and to recognize the right to
access all informations held by public bodies. A
Chinese representative Mr. Cheng Yizhong
expressed that, “For us, the press practitioners of
China, our top priority for the moment is to expand
the right of the general public to be informed and
to raise the political visibility. This is a duty that
we have to shoulder and it is also the power of the
powerless. As journalists, you have the right to keep
silent, but you have no right to tell lies. To tell the
truth is not the maximum of journalists it’s the
bottom line”. (UNESCO Press release No.2005-54)
The press in India is regarded as the fourth
pillar of democracy and it is an institution made for
the welfare of the country and its people. According
to Article 19(1) A of Indian constitution all citizens
have the right to freedom of speech and expression.
So the press enjoys this freedom of speech and it
considered an authentic medium through which
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
people of the country can ask for their rights. Our
news papers played an important role during
freedom movement and the press contributed a lot
to bring unity among the people during the colonial
era to aware the people against the oppression of
foreign rule. The 228 years old Indian media today
is at the cross roads. Everyone is in dilemma
regarding the role of media and whether it has been
swayed away by the wave of commerce, whether it
has shaded all its long cherished values. Marketing
pressure, the tabloidization of news, management
and economic pressure are effecting media ethics
and issues such as accountability, fairness and
conflict of interests. In the rural areas the journalists
are not paid well so money matter becomes
important for most of the media personal which
compel them to adopt unfair means in journalism
and many times the people do not get the true fact
from the media. Sometimes due to the threat or
hooliganism by political leaders or influential
persons in the society discouraged the journalists
to bring the truth to the masses. The right to
information is not being used by the journalists
adequately. In most of the cases the journalists have
to prove that he/she is a bonafide before accessing
Govt. information. Traditional system of
information access in India has made journalists
dependent on sources, who are people in power.
They must cultivate whether bureaucrat or
politicians much depends on the privilege and
patronage of the individual source. The journalists
may have a personal relationship or a power -
equation with the source.
ROLE OF PRESS IN ASSAM:

inculcate a fear psychosis in the minds of the
common masses. The first big blow up of ULFA’s
campaign in the local media was seen when its
Publicity Secretary was Siddhartha Phukan.
Journalists from all the major dailies and weeklies
were taken to ULFA hide-outs in and outside Assam.
The resultant publicity had given a news boost to
the insurgent outfit’s ideology and a glamour to its
revolutionary colour. A very powerful lobby in the
media had gone further to give ULFA’s ideology a
leftist fervour and credence. All of a sudden there
were ultra-left literature from Che Guevara to
Vietnam, from urban guerrilla warfare to Naxalbari
movement-finding ready acceptance in these
newspapers. A select section among the journalists
fraternity even gone to the extent of drawing
parallels between similar armed movements in
Jammu and Kashmir, North-eastern States and
activists like Maoists elsewhere, Tamil Tigers of
Sri Lanka, and so on. Such type of articulate but
immature campaigns misdirected much of the
younger generation in Assam. But the media was
seen sharply divided and so also the Assamese
intelligentsia centring on this subject. This division
saw the newspapers published in Brahmaputra
valley acting like unofficial mouthpieces of either
the militants or the government. Exaggeration had
become the role of the law. The state and individual
terrorism put immense pressure on the life of the
people. Neutral journalism took the back bench. It
was indeed a chaotic phase in the history of the
media in Assam with almost all the newspapers
playing at the hands of this or that and while some
were used against some of them for short-term gains.
The inhuman killing of a veteran journalist like
Kamala Saikia could be a sharp pointer to this
direction. The brutal murder of Parag Kumar Das,
a noted journalist of the State and the long, arduous
task of investigation of the murder failing to yield
any convincing conclusion could be seen as a result
of this din prevailed in the local media as well as
the compromise made by various forces including
the polity. Neither the investigation of Kamala
Saikia’s murder could brought the culprits to book.
Thus the good governance which could prevail upon
such confusion and complexity was actually
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
rendered null and void in a very recent period of
contemporary Assam which was amply signified
by the role of the media.
However it can be easily gauged that the inner
contradiction of the media in present situation has
become a blessing in disguise. Because as there are
more and more media outlets coming to the fore,
no party can fool people at large. The truth can get
an exposure or can expect to see the light of the day
at least. However, there are many such occasions
where crime against the media is committed and
the responsible persons go scot-free. During the
second tenure of Prafulla Kumar Mahanta’s
government (1996-2001), there were many
incidents of burning of newspaper bundles ;
apparently some vested interests did not want to
see some news circulated among the masses and
they indulged in most undemocratic and crimes of
civilization by attacking the right to information and
freedom of expression. The government failed
miserably in preventing such incidents and when
the media persons demanded protection of its rights,
even then the administration did not assured of a
single exemplary punishment to the lawbreakers.
So the media in Assam has been asserting itself
against all such odds. Good governance did not go
hand in hand with media.
Sometimes sincere and uncompromising
scribes had to sacrifice their lives at the hands of
miscreants who range from timber smugglers to land
mafias, from drug kingpins to arms dealers, and
what not. We can look at some recent examples in
this regard. A local correspondent based in
Kokrajhar, Jagjit Saikia’s murderers were
apprehended, but it is highly doubtful whether the
responsible persons involved in such crimes will
be booked or just some scapegoats will face the
brunt. Since Kamala Saikia’s death there were 20
journalists killed by miscreants, but nothing like
proper or result-oriented investigation were done.
The media persons who were killed of late were
Prahlad Goala (Golaghat), Muslimuddin
(Moirabari), Bodosa Narzari (Kokrajhar). Kanakraj
Medhi(Hajo) was believed to have committed
suicide under serious threat to his life and
continuous harassment by the criminals against
/ 76
whom he used to write without compromising
journalistic ethics. The murder of Anil Mazumdar,
a young Editor of a vernacular daily, in the heart of
the city of Guwahati is still shrouded in mystery.
All such cases show under what circumstances the
local media persons have to work across the state
of Assam and how much protection of their dignity
and right to work is preserved by the concerned
authorities. They show two sides of a bitter truth.
They were on one hand a failure on the part of the
administration to instill good governance. And the
other hand, they show that there were stiff resistance
to misdeeds at various levels through the voices of
the media which saw death of a few journalists.
Justice G.N. Ray, the chairman of the Press
Council of India lamenting that media has become a
‘commodity’. The distortion, disinformation and paid
syndrome aimed to serve certain interest and
suppression of news and concerns of other interests
have become a usual feature in media. While media
has entrusted with the sacred duty of informing the
civil society and the administration correctly and
dispassionately has indulged in large scale mis-
information and tainted communication only to
augment greater profit. Instead of making news paper
rich in news content and addressing serious issues
for better governance of the country and improve
socio-economic disparities, the media driven by
market forces is indulging in trivialization and
sensationalisation. The emergence of big media
houses and corporatization of media is heading fast
towards monopoly in the media. This is a matter of
concern as such monopoly in media is inherently not
good for our democracy. The incorrect reporting of
different issues have become a disturbing
phenomenon. Sensationalisation often leads to
dangerous consequences by arousing public passion.
Assam is a place where a scourge of sensitive issues
plagues and it is the duty of the media to act sensibly
to awaken the people and make them more
participatory in one hand and make the Govt.
responsive to the people on the other. The business
interest and work pressure cannot be an excuse
against making true and honest coverage. In this
regard it can be said that the press in Assam is being
played a positive role to some extent. During the last
few years more then 20 scribes sacrificed their lives
for the sake of reporting true and honest news for the
greater interest of the people.
Freedom of citizens, a free and responsible
press, an independent judiciary and Govt.'s data
information are the system which can be perceived
to be the key to the enhancement of the right to
information and make the institutions of governance
transparent and accountable. The right to information
is closely tied to the accountability mechanism for
monitoring every action of Govt. which leads to good
governance, places the dominant actors of
governance —the state, the market and civil society
in balance and monitors their performance by a free
and responsible press. In the 62nd meeting of the
World News Papers Congress and the 16th World
Editors forum at Hyderabad, our President Mrs.
Pratibha Patil deprecates media's focus on negative
news. I conclude with a quote from her speech, ‘‘there
is of course, a lesson to be learnt from events that are
negative, but equally important to convey positive
message and to inspire people. Media, therefore, must
search for and find a balance between the portrayal
of the positive happenings in society’’.„

after 2000.
While increased skill (education) demands
basic education and the difference has grown were certainly one force in play, other factors were

2. Growing trade deficits and globalization
also led to the loss of high-quality jobs for
non-college-educated workers, putting
downward pressure on wages among
similarly skilled workers.
3. Union representation has been declining,
which is another important reason for
greater inequality.
4. Finally, unemployment was high,
on average, over the years when the wage
rate for skilled workers grew most
quickly. When unemployment fell
sharply in the latter 1990s, the
growth of the wage gap slowed,
suggesting that the absence of
full employment, and the
diminished bargaining power
associated with slack
labour markets, is another
factor that must not be
overlooked.

 In fact, research shows that half of the growth
in wage inequality over the 1980s, and most of the
growth in the 2000s, occurred within education
groups, meaning that growth of inequality is
currently being driven by the gains of some
educated workers relative to others with the same
education credentials.
Policy makers and analysts must avoid
reducing the inequality debate to a sole
explanation regarding education. Education is
an obvious and important area but it is not solely
responsible for the growth of inequality, not over
the longer term, and especially not in recent years.
Thus, other policies like minimum wages, a level
playing field for union organizing, health care and
pension provision, work supports for low-income
workers, full employment, and responding to the
downsides of globalization also need to be pursued.
Education and Poverty
Poverty is much more complex than simply
lack of income. Poverty entails :
Š Lack of empowerment
Š Lack of knowledge
Š Lack of opportunity
Š Lack of income and capital
Despite increased access to education in
recent times, the poor (among them the poor
women disproportionately being high), socially
disadvantageous groups, the physically disabled,
persons in remote regions - are often deprived of a
basic education. And when basic education is
available, the poorest are unable to avail of it
because the direct and opportunity costs attached
to it are quite high for them.
Poverty is thus both a cause and an effect of
insufficient access to or completion of quality
education.
Children of poor families are less likely to
enroll in and complete schooling because of the
associated costs of attending school even when it
is provided “free’’. The cost of uniforms, supplies
and transportation are well beyond the means of a
poor family, especially when the family has several
children of school age. This means that choices
have to be made, and the choice is often to drop
out of school or, worse yet, to deny schooling to
83 /
girls while enrolling the boys thereby contributing
directly to maintaining the inferior status of
women. And as poor children who are enrolled
grow older, the opportunity cost (their lost labour
and the forgone income it may entail) becomes
greater, thus increasing the likelihood of
abandoning school.
Furthermore, dropping out of school
because of poverty virtually guarantees
perpetuation of the poverty cycle since the
income-earning potential of the child is reduced,
not to mention overall productivity, receptivity to
change, and capacity to improve quality of life.
Lack of education perpetuates poverty, and poverty
constrains access to schooling.
The relationship between education and
poverty reduction is thus quite straight and
linear as education is empowering; it enables the
person to participate in the development process;
it inculcates the knowledge and skills needed to
improve the income earning potential and in turn
the quality of life. Moreover, education of girls and
women helps in improving the number of other
indicators of human development.
Eliminating poverty requires providing
access to quality education. Education thus helps
to lay the foundation for the following pillars of
poverty reduction: empowerment, human
development, social development and good
governance.
Education transforms the vicious cycle of
high birth rates, high maternal and infant mortality
and endemic poverty into a virtuous circle through
investment in human capital-enhancing labour
productivity, reducing fertility and mortality,
raising economic growth and thus securing
domestic resources for further investments in
people.
Education is a powerful tool for introducing
members of a society to the system of government
and the concept of governance. Educated persons
are more likely to vote and participate in local and
national government. They are more likely to
demand better and more accountable government,
thus creating demand for improved governance.

J yoti Prasad Agarwala is the doyen of modern
Assamese culture. His contribution to
Assamese socio-cultural life is invaluable. Jyoti
Prasad Agarwala was a rare genius with
multifaceted personality who showed
excellence in every field of creativity eg. music,
literature, art, film making and so on. There is
no doubt that his first and foremost identity is
‘Artist’ But he was neither an ordinary artist
nor a professional one. He was a people's Artist
with a revolutionary zeal whose mission of life
was to change the society. His vision was to
eatablish a socialist society, which he termed
as 'Shilpir Prithivi' or ‘Sundar Prithivi’. To
bring his vision bring into reality he relied on
culture. Culture was his praxis for social change
and in his life time he relentlessly carried on
his journey towards light in which he invited
all the Artists to be his companion.
Jyoti Prasad Agarwala was an ageless
artist. His thought and his Praxis can not be
restricted to a particular period of time. In his
own words –– ‘I am an artist of all time past,
present and future ?’ (Bishwa Shilpi) attempts

Nilim Jyoti Senapati
to review the relevance of Jyoti prasad in the
changed socio economic, politico cultural situation
in the 21st century post globalisation world with
special reference of Assam.
Jyoti Prasad Agarwala was born in a colonial
age in 1903. At that time India was a British
colony and the evils of colonialism, imperialism
had a deep impact on Jyoti Prasad’s thinking and
ideology. Jyoti Prasad’s concept of culture was
developed in the backdrop of colonised land and
its people struggling for independence. Jyoti
himself joined India's freedom struggle as an
active worker of congress. India got independence
from British domination on August 15, 1947 but
Jyoti Prasad died within less than four years after
India's independence on January, 17, 1951. By
that time the process of decolonisation of the
world was started which has come to an end by
the end of the 20th century. So it may be questioned
that is there any relevance of Jyoti Prasad
Agarwala’s thought , his praxis of culture which
was the product of the 20th century colonial world
in a post colonial globalized world ? It we study
Jyoti Prasad Agarwala’s writings carefully and
analytically we must say that the answer is
affirmative.

 Jyoti Prasad Agarwala’s praxis of culture is
getting more relevant in the wake of globalization.
The end of colonialism in the 20th century resulted
in the emergence of Neo-colonialism. The colonial
powers lost their empires, but the new colonial
powers started controlling and exploiting the
resources, policies and people of the new states
through several indirect and subtle means. 1The
capitalist block developed a new device i.e..
Globalization to gain control over resources,
economics and even culture of the newly
independent so called developing nations of third
world. Theoretically Globalization means a
concept as well as a process of 'securing real social
economic, political and cultural transformation of
the world into a real global community.1 According
to Edward S.Herman ‘Globalization is both an
active process of corporate expansion across
borders and a structure of cross border facilities
and economic linkages that has been steadily
growing and changing’. The advocates of
Globalisation argues that its objective is making
the world a truly inter related, inter dependant ,
developed global village which sounds very sweet.
But, if we analyse the process of globalisation as
it has been taking place during the last years and
its impact on the developing countries it becomes
evident that globalistion has come down heavily
over the common people of back ward states.
Globalisation has been proved to be a curse for the
ethnic minorities all over the world as their
language, culture, identity even their existence has
been put in stake. Globalisation is nothing but
imperialism in a new form which we may term as
cultural imperialism. India is also not out the reach
of the evil impact of globalisation our culture has
already been shook by globalisation. If we make a
special reference to Assam we find that Assamese
culture, which had reached a high stage has been
distorted by on going process of globalisation.
Assamese culture, which is a composite culture
with elements of cultures of different ethnic groups
living within the political boundary of the state is
facing a danger today. Many elements of our
culture have been missing or distorted under the
influence of outside culture. It is equally true about
the culture of all the ethnic minorities living within
the territory of Assam. It has already become a
85 /
universal problem causing death to languages as
well of many ethnic minority groups at different
parts of the globe.
Jyoti Prasad Agarwala well understood the
evil of imperialism and he warned much in advance
of the threats on local culture from capitalist powers
and showed the way how to protect one's own
culture in the face of attack from outside. In the
wake of globalisation the way suggested by Jyoti
Prasad may be the right way to protect our own
identity without losing touch with the collective
global identity. Here we may refer to Jyoti’s
concept of culture how he beautifully explained
about a world culture without destroying the own
cultures of different ethnic communities.
Jyoti Prasad Agarwala had a distinct and clear
view about culture. His concept of culture was
much wider than it is used in ordinary parlance.
To him culture is not confined to music, dance or
drama only. Jyoti said that culture is the sum total
of human endeavour to bring beauty in every aspect
of life. To quote him ‘Culture is the positive
application of beauty in life.’1 Jyoti Prasad opined
that culture must be total, not fragmented. He said
‘Fine art, literature etc constitute only one part of
human culture. The other part of human culture is
application of beauty in human behaviour .....If a
nation excels in one part but not in the other part
then that is not total culture.2 There is no balance
in man's life in the absence of total culture’.2 It
clearly shows Jyoti’s concept of culture which is
concerned with every aspect of individual as well
as social life of the people. Prasenjit Chaudhury
aptly shows the two aspects of culture in Jyoti's
thought-inner culture and external culture.
According to Chaudhury Jyoti's concept of
psychological soul culture or inner culture means
intelligence of mind and infuition. By external
control Jyoti means fine art. Jyoti Prasad repeatedly
said that a culture balance is required for the
development of a total culture. He was opposed to
the concept of keeping culture confined to music
or drama.3
Jyoti Prasad preferred to use the term
‘Sanskriti’ as a synonym of the word ‘culture’. He
had a vision of a society based on ‘Sanskriti’, which
he termed a ‘Shilpir Prithivi (Artist’s world) or
‘Sundar Prithivi’ (Beautiful world). If we analyse
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '09
Jyoti’s writing particularly in post 1946 we clearly
notice that he envisioned a Socialist society, based
on equality and justice. Any thing resulting
exploitation or injustice is not ‘sanskriti’ according
to Jyoti Prasad. His concept of ‘Sanskriti’ had an
economic dimension also. In his lecture entitled
‘Bhabikalar Sanskriti’ (Culture of the future) he
analysed the impact of economy on culture and
come to the conclusion that ‘economy is the base
of culture.’ (Shilpir Prithivi)
Jyoti Prasad used the term duskriti' as an
antonym of ‘Sanskriti’. He was very conscious in
the use of the two terms ‘Sanskriti’, and ‘Duskriti’.
Anything evil was termed as 'duskriti, which is the
enemy of culture. Jyoti Prasad said that imperialism
and capitalism both were evil (duskriti) in the
disguise of culture (Sanskriti). Jyoti’s concept of
Sanskriti and duskriti is very significant as it may
answer many quiestions raised today in a post
globalisation world.
It is clear that globalisation is the culmination
of capitalism and represents the new face of
colonialism. So it is not culture. It is ‘duskriti’.
But we can not check the aggression of
globalisation by opposing the culture of other
people. Globalisation has started a process of
‘levelling’ by manufacturing a world culture, which
is homogeneous in character. It has resulted in an
identity crisis among the local people. If we cite
the example of Assam we see that different ethnic
communities are trying to revive their traditional
culture and in this process one community is
considering other community as their enemy. For
example a part of Assamese intelligentsia and some
organisations have waged a war against all the
outside culture, be it western culture or 'Hindi'
culture. An organisation even went to the extent of
banning Hindi cinema in Assam. But it is to be
noted that culture can not be protected with armed
guards. To protect one's own culture one need not
attack others culture. Jyoti Prasad understood it
very well that there can not be any ‘clash of
culture’. Every community has its own culture and
no culture is the enemy of other’s culture. Anything
evil is not culture. So stead attacking other’s culture
every community should try to strengthen its own
culture so that it may be as rich as other’s culture.
All the people should fight unitedly against evil
/Vol. VIII, Issue - I, June '10
with the weapon of culture. Jyoti Prasad also talked
of a world culture, but that is totally different from
the world culture conceived by globalization. A true
world culture may be moulded with the
harmonisation of the cultures of different people
and different areas. It can not be one coloured, but
multi coloured where in culture of every
community will be reflected with its distinct
identity. But the on going process of globalisation
is moulding a culture favourable for capitalism
which is killing the cultural identity of different
communities. The Capitalist culture is a
commercial culture spreading consumerism which
must be checked.
At this juncture Artists have a crucial role to
play. They should come forward to make the people
aware about the evil of globalisation. Jyoti Prasad said
that in the war between ‘Sanskriti’ and ‘duskriti’ a
true artist must take the side of Sanskriti5. But if we
look at the present situation in Assam, we see that the
artists have failed to fulfil their responsibilities. There
is a two way attack on Assamese culture these days
external and internal. Under the impact of
globalisation many evil elements have entered our
culture causing to its distortion. It is wrong to think
that everything western or foreign is bad. In the present
situation we can not keep our culture closed to any
external influence.
Jyoti Prasad said that in this scientific age no
state, province, nation or tribe can retain their
culture aloof of the flow towards the composite
culture and civilisaton 5. In this process some
changes sure to occur in every culture and we must
be ready to welcome the change because ‘change
makes the world beautiful?’ (Shilpir Prithivi)
We should make our culture open so that good
elements can enter into our culture which will not
harm but enrich it. At the same time we must be
aware that ‘evil’ elements can’t enter into our
culture. It is now not possible to avoid the impact
of globalisation. But a people's movement is
required to check the evil effects of globalisation.
Today we feel the absence of a people's artist like
Jyoti Prasad who can stand against consumerism
and commercialisation of culture. Jyoti Prasad’s
praxis of culture is getting more relevant today as
there’s no one to show the people difference
between ‘Sanskriti’ and ‘duskriti’. The war between

‘‘Unfailing is this journey of light together, We need such artists who can draw the red sun at
yours and mine the dawn.’ (Aideur Jonaki Baat)
O Comrade we have found new A praxis of culture in the line of Jyoti Prasad
meaning in life only can save our culture, economy and identity
in this demonic age of globalisation.„

 Don’t Open the Door, Mother
Original in Manipuri : Abdul Hamid
Translation : B.S. Rajkumar

Don’t open the door, Mother!

They may seek shelter during the night

They may ask for food for the night for the number of them
These civilian soldiers carrying clots of blood in their eyes.

Every sunset
The unnatural people of this land
Cannot even collect together their compose
Since it has gone astray.
During the pervading nights
If the sharp spiked booted people knew
Of the shelter inside the house
They will surely knock on the door
In search of the youths
Engaged in a game of catching the dark,
They may charge you too
Heaping upon you terrible acts.
So let a gesture of the eye be sufficient
To undestand the impression on every face
The result of living the life of a commoner.„

She’ll never be truly apart
(A memorial poem for Anindyee Dhar, 19
a February,13 Pune-Blast victim. Anindyee died
along with her elder brother Ankik Dhar, 23)
Shubhadeep Paul
Out of the reach of belief, did come the shock;
That awful news our world did rock.
How did it happen, none knows why;
We’re so sad, it did make us cry.
How unfair it has been, then and now,
Won’t someone tell us, why and how?
Her tears had dried, her pains got healed;
She and her good soul must have yield.
So good was she; her works so even,
That God chose her to be placed in heaven.
It’s time now, while we’ve moved on-
We miss her as though she had just gone.
Griefs along to her our farewells we’ve bid;
Even though, we’ll never forget the good she did.
We remember her still, we miss her yet;
And on this we’ll forever strongly bet.
Coz had she been truly in our heart,
From us she’ll never be truly apart.
Carrying her memories; for more tricks to see
Of the world, we move saying, ‘Requiscat In Pace’.
