Imphal, June 08 2024:
A one-day discussion programme on "Eikhoigi Eenat Mashak Khangminnarasi' (Learn our Culture Earn Our Identity) was organised jointly by Umanglai Laiphamlen Yokkhat Lup (ULYOK) and Eenat Yokkhat Lup (EYL) at National Research Centre, located opposite to Manipur University Main Gate on Saturday.
Speaking at the occasion, Manipur Pandit Loishang Pandit Ngariyanbam Khomba stressed the need for promoting the art and culture of the state in its original form, instead of fusing or changing its elements.
We must preserve the original state of the art forms, culture, customs and tradition, while also identifying an authority which could uphold the authenticity of the same, he asserted.
Presided over by Apun-ba Manipur Huiyen Lallong Lup president and Manipur University of Culture guest faculty (Thang-Ta) Okram Manglem Meetei, the programme was also attended by Lawyers for Human Rights Manipur executive director Maisnam Korouhanba Lu-wang and Umanglai Laip-hamlen Yokhat Lup president Senjam Awangba.
