Time travel in Manipur
The Sentinel | Imphal, Nov. 5:
In this 21st century, a visit to Parbung, the sub-divisional headquarters of Churachanpur district will instantly give you the experience of watching a time travel science fiction movie. It is just 224 km away from the district headquarters and 300 km from Imphal in the serpentine mountain road. The Hmar tribals in several villages in the Parbung sub-division are in a pre-historic habitation since the government has not done much for the development of this border area.
It is common sight to see even a three-year-old child elsewhere in the country fiddling mobile handsets, playing games in their handsets and computers. Most of the teenagers elsewhere in the country have laptops or at least visit cyber cafes for emailing, surfing internet or open their facebook accounts. But the young people at Parbung and nearby villages do not recognize even an ordinary mobile handset as they have never seen a mobile handset before. Laptops and other electronic gadgets would be quite unrecognizable to them. There is no electricity at Parbung and all villages under this sub-division.
