It is celebrated annually on the 27th March by ITI Centres and the international theatre community. Various national and international theatre events are organized to mark this occasion. One of the most important of these is the circulation of the World Theatre Day International Message through which at the invitation of ITI, a figure of world stature shares his or her reflections on the theme of Theatre and a Culture of Peace. The first World Theatre Day International Message was written by Jean Cocteau (France) in 1962. It was first in Helsinki, and then in Vienna at the 9th World Congress of the ITI in June 1961 that President Arvi Kivimaa proposed on behalf of the Finnish Centre of the International Theatre Institute that a World Theatre Day be instituted. The proposal, backed by the Scandinavian centres, was carried with acclamation. Ever since, each year on the 27th March (date of the opening of the 1962 “Theatre of Nations” season in Paris), World Theatre Day has been celebrated in many and varied ways by ITI National Centres of which there are now almost 100 throughout the world. Each year a figure outstanding in theatre or a person outstanding in heart and spirit from another field, is invited to share his or her reflections on theatre and international harmony. What is known as the International Message is translated into more than 20 languages, read for tens of thousands of spectators before performances in theatres throughout the world and printed in hundreds of daily newspapers. Colleagues in the audio-visual field lend a fraternal hand, with more than a hundred radio and television stations transmitting the Message to listeners in all corners of the five continents.

Teshi Taba As human ‘exodus’ took placed in the past in Tibet region especially in and around Sangpo Valley, the Hari group of community also migrated from south Tibet region and attempted to cross, traditionally known as Chengi Lengi Geka (a cave passage). The other community of the present Arunachal also called it Porok Lepo. When this group had tried to cross over, the two brothers Bindung and Bingley faced a hurdle. A giant creature named Tachang Palwng akin to Chinese dragon posed an obstacle in crossing the passage. On trial, a dog was pressed into the cave passage but it ate up the dog. So two brothers went back to the main land and aligned with the Monks and hired a sharp sword through it they killed that creature and made headway for their safe passage to present territory. This passage way or passes located beyond Gelling circle, the last administrative outpost of Arunachal Pradesh near Mac Mohan line. After crossing over, a series of habitation in Siang and in and around Subansiri basin, the same group of Bindung and Bingley crossed the mighty Subansiri at Pwik rabge little above the present Daporijo. Among the sons of Ato Niya, the group of these clans traces its origin from Hari- Riku- Kupe- Paley- LejaJangu to Nguri, Nguha and Nguva. The Nguri group comprises of Golo, Goyee, Gumdu, Gumru, Nguri, Charu, Patey, Tado, Tayo and Tania. The second group of clans viz Takey, Tai, Rare and Nade, claims themselves as descendant of Chera but their siblings Tayer and Tadar are recognized with their present names but owe allegiance to same Chera ancestor. The Nguva group of brothers are believed to have intermingled with certain other areas like Nacho Sub-Division of Upper Subansiri district, Tali areas of Kurung Kumey and Menchukha and Manigaon areas of Menchukha SubDivision under West Siang district. Nguha’s descendents can be traced and shown as: Nguha- Harang- Rwingche- Cherum and Chera. Cherum, a larger group of clan now prominently settled in their permanent bastion spread in 13 villages of Payeng circle located at left bank of Subansiri river under Upper Subansiri are elder to Cheras whose separation was caused at hands of nature probably the demons work. The Cherums at present zealously preserving and protecting the territory left by their Chera brothers with a hope that a day will come when their brothers will put a hold in the territory once again. A large stone measuring about 50 feet height popularly known as Uei lengne had played a mysterious role in separation of the two brothers. The Cheras had to face the brunt from this stone that turned to Mittun during the night and damaged the standing crops of Chera’s agriculture fields. On chase, the mitthun disappeared on reaching at the stone site. This unkind mystery forced them to perform a rite and to leave the area by crossing the opened a new chapter for reunion process of two brothers. A long plan and interaction programme remained immaterialized due to immature departure of pioneer of the clans like late Tadar Tang, Chera Talo and Tadar Taniang. Their initiation has paid a bearing, ultimately that two brothers officially united on fall of blessings from those great souls in the New Year of 2010. They ventured with great emotion by a joint visit on Uei Lengne and won the nature by sheer will and determination. This stone had mighty Subansiri river and pushed towards western part of Subansiri and settled in Koloriang, Nyapin, Mangio, Yazali and Sagalee areas. In fact, the result of phase-wise migration made the clan to settle at lower side, otherwise their main habitation was in upper belt. Except the oral history, the two separated brothers remained out of social touch till mid seventies but modern development of road communication, education and media had been the central figure of separation and now their reunion and hence the history has beckoned the past. These two clans belonged to extremely fearful fighters and valorous in nature and it can be traced from their Binjuk (commentary) that clan members had never been temable. “Ane bindung ham dungdung hibe ngo, Aabe bingle ham laley hibe ngo, Chengkhe machak ham yochak hibe ngo, yamter udung ham yobung hibe ngo, lengbyo ta’he ham mwikhe swingle hibe ngo”. It says that for valorous job the clan never withdrew its aim. To do it the words of mother and father had no bondings on them. It could even strike the strong iron made vessel and diktar udung (chili powder) container by private parts and thistle plant could be converted into usable tobacco. The clans hardly surrender its objective and victim has always been the opponents. The commentary is nothing but the degree of their capacity to do extreme things with great courage and endurance. The second annual meet at Jote from 5-6 March’2014 reaffirmed their origin and the clan members paid floral tribute to their great ancestors and immediate ancestors like atu Nguha- Harang- Rwingche and pioneers and past mentors late Tang, Talo and Taniang. The programme was piloted by untiring spirit of young man Shri Tadar Zaman, an orator of great caliber and master in Nyshi dialogue and led the crowd to pay homage to great ancestors. The primary duty of Cherum and Chera would be the erection of memory pillar, construction of replica of Uei lengne and creation and establishment of CherumChera lapang somewhere in capital area. The prime duty of each individual will be to avoid wrong matrimonial relations by spread of knowledge of clan’s genealogy among the youths. The patrons of chera, viz Tadar, Tayer and Cherum contributed their views for a common platform and to strive for communities resurge and cherish the goals set by pioneers. On interaction with seniormost elder of the community the chairman of Cherum Chera Welfare Society Shri Tader Talar had spelled that the ancestor of Atu Nguha cannot be erased and Cherum and Chera brothers’ common interest need to be resolved in the same name of Nguha. Among Cherums, the clans or sub-clans like Haging, Baring, Malling etc., are so closely knitted brothers. There is no separate society and separate picnic programme among the Cherums and strict sense of unity is prevailing whereas among Cheras, there are separate societies and separate annual programmes. Shri Denny Maling the leader of Cherum clan asserted that on advent of modernity, this unity will gain new order and appealed Chera brothers to follow system practiced by them and work for a common platform to strengthen the sense of brotherhood. And yet another elections sans issues Like in the last many elections, the twin-elections for the 2-member Parliament and 60-member Assembly in Arunachal Pradesh is sans any issues whatsoever concerning the people of the state. History is evident that in our young state elections had never been fought on issues. This is a rather sad reflection on the poor health of Democracy in the state. Elections should essentially be fought over important issues which are in the interest of the voters. Having unwillingly crawled past the wrong side of 50, I have been a witness to many elections both Assembly and Parliamentary but I must admit that I had never seen political parties racking up any issues during the elections. Interestingly, the important issues like the mega dams, unemployment, education and healthcare are more pronounced during the normal times when there are no elections. I am yet to understand why even the opposition candidates hesitate to raise these pertinent issues during the election which is the right time to make the right noises. But there is a problem here. The unique and peculiar feature or characteristic of Arunachal politics is that there are hardly any opposition parties. It has been witnessed time and again that those candidates who get elected from other political parties other than the ruling political party, eventually join the ruling party unabashedly making a mockery of the much glorified Democracy in our state. This sad and uncalled for trend has been going on since incipience of Democratic institutions in the state. The reason is not far to locate for this shameful and unfortunate practice. Every elected leader of all parties wants to remain in the good book of the ruling party and silently weave a dream of getting a Ministerial berth. I feel that an Assembly without a strong opposition cannot effectively address the problems and aspirations of the people. It also demeans and belittles the Democracy for which India is known all the world over. Paradoxically, even the moneyed leaders who have enough of everything tend to be associated with the ruling party and never attempt to form a strong opposition. The reason is simple. They too want to get richer. It is also being observed in our state that those who have accumulated some money and have a good number of mithuns and traditional beads and belong to a dominant clan eventually choose politics as a career and never think of starting an industry, open a School, a Hospital or invest in some social work. Becoming an MLA is seen as the most lucrative business with scopes to make quick and easy money. If every rich person wants to be an MLA then who will take care of the many social causes of our young state? Another sad aspect we witness during elections in Arunachal is the lack of principle on the part of the political leaders. They will put even the chameleon to shame in terms of changing their colours. I myself have seen the same candidate contesting from not less than 7-8 different parties in different elections. There is absolutely no value for a political party in our state. Of course, the ruling party matters a lot for obvious reason. Even now, there is a morass of confusion as to who is contesting from what party. I often wonder when our political leaders will mature to respect their respective political parties. A government will be stable only when they learn to respect their parties and their principles. Of late, political instability has been Arunachal’s nemesis. The main and the primary reason for this is the total lack of principles amongst the leaders. They seem to be ready to do anything for money and power. But this does not augur well for a healthy Democracy. The elected leaders must learn to be loyal to their loyal voters and remain in the party from which they had been elected by their voters. But sadly, it’s not to be in Arunachal Pradesh. After every election, the elected candidates change parties with disdain and act as if nothing has happened. These are the leaders who sully the name of the hallowed Democratic institutions and Democratic setups. All said and done, this sudden Assembly election along with the Parliamentary election must have caught many elected leaders including Ministers unaware. The poor new entrants into electoral politics had no or little time even to introduce themselves to their voters. However, the people had by and large welcomed the decision of the state government to have a simultaneous election. Some have even called this a masterstroke of the former HCM Nabam Tuki. The government employees are the happiest because they need take the trouble twice as the election is happening in one go. Though the final scrutiny is yet to be done, this time there is a sort of record number of contestants. But disgustingly again, there are only a few women candidates. I don’t know when will the major political parties in the state start issuing tickets to aspiring women candidates? The 33% reservation for women is still a myth and is gathering dust for want of implementation. Esteemed readers please do not expect me to add spice to my present article as I normally do at other times. Being in the government, now I am under the watchful eyes of the ECI. There are strict strictures under model code of conduct due to which we have to be extra careful in our use of words and language. My article is just a commentary on the electoral process of our state seen through my eyes over the years. Bu I must say that I am sad because the stereotyped political scenario and the election processes in our state has remained static which is indicative of the fact that Democracy is not vibrant and well-functional in our state. A mass awareness is the need of the hour. More young and educated people with new and innovative ideas should start joining politics like in other states. In Arunachal Pradesh, elections had always been akin to festivals. People do not talk of any political issues but talk about who has slaughtered how many mithuns, cows, pigs etc. They also discuss about who has spent how much money. But these days elections have become little prosaic sans sound, fun and frolic thanks to the restriction on too much spending imposed by the powerful ECI. The candidates concentrate on house to house and person to person -Denhang Bosai contact instead of huge rallies and meetings. About who is going to win is difficult to tell because this is a real feasting time for the gullible voters. Who is supporting whom is difficult to ascertain as the same person can be seen hurriedly emptying his glass of apong and munching something furiously in all the houses of all the candidates. Liquor is flowing like rivers. Most of the people I meet are fully boozed and talk only about drinks. The poor voters do not cook their meals at home these days as they get their choicest meals at the houses of all the candidates. Sometimes I seriously feel that the ECI should specify the number of mithuns, pigs and cows to be killed for meat. Though they come under traditional laws, they are bought and sold in terms of money which is calculable. What do these poor creatures know about elections? The time has come to minimize the killing of animals. The most unfortunate trend in our hitherto peaceful state is that during the last few elections, some hooligans including some contesting candidates have resorted to violence and other unfair means which should be arrested at the earliest before it is too late. This abominable culture of violence is a new development in our state. In the past the elections used to be very peaceful. The candidates and the voters must realize that election is just a Democratic process and there should be no scopes for settling old scores or harbor personal vendettas against one another. They should take the election like any other game wherein some win and some lose. They should never attempt to vitiate the atmosphere during and after the elections. Personally, I am not at all interested in knowing who wins or loses but wish to see a free, fair and peaceful election. Let us learn to accept defeat with dignity and victory with humility. May the best win and may the whole electoral process is smooth and peaceful, free from the obnoxious smoke of hatred, jealousy and chaos.
