Sivasagar Discovery

May 28, 2019

Sivasagar Discovery

There is definitely some history of every place in the world and that begins at some very particular spots.

The beautiful north-eastern state Assam has also its great historical stories, which was first written in a very special place of the state, known today by Sivasagar.

A beautiful and glorious destination with some of its amazing historical importance, built during the Ahom age of medieval Assam.

In older days it was known by ‘Rangpur’. In Assamese ‘Rang’ means happiness and ‘Pur’ means a place. In one word ‘Rangpur’ was a place of happiness.
Older days Ahom organized various delightful activities in Rangpur on some very special occasions.
Source- Wikipedia.com
Here Rongali Bihu and Bhogali Bihu festivals were the two most significant. Bihu dance, Human wrestling, Buffalo fight, Bulbul birds fight were so popular activities among all.

However, these delightful things are still organized today even after 200 years of their ruling end.

Here Rang Ghar is incredibly famous for all these activities. This is the first pavilion of Asia, which was built in between 1744-1750 by the most successful king of Ahom kingdom, Pramatta Singha.

He also made some other greatest construction that we have seen today; here Kareng Ghar is highly famous.

Best known as the Gargaon Palace, this is situated 16 km away from the Sivasagar main town.

This was the 2nd most static capital of Ahom kingdom after they moved from Charaideo and remained till 1769.

In 1769, the capital moved again to Sibsagar. Today this is popular as ‘Talatal Ghar’, located western part of Sibsagar main town.

Ahom kings were very conscious of the security matters, therefore Talatal Ghar was highly developed as a secure base.

Probably many people don’t know, there were two underground ways made in the very bottom of Talatal Ghar.

One way reached to their old capital Kareng Ghar, which is situated 16 km away at Gargaon and other was to Dikhow River, which also situated 7 km away from it. 

Although today these two ways are closed due to heavy clay jam.
Have you ever heard that Sibsagar is the city of temples? Over 30-50 most shining temples, built during Ahom age at different parts of this district.

They are especially Shiva temple, Devi Durga Temple, Vishnu temple, Joydol, Sri Sri Sani temple, and Gaurisagar Gauri temple, etc.

The Shiva temple is famous around the whole of India, due to its shocking structure and beautiful design. In 1734, Bor Raja Ambika the wife of Swargadeo Siba Singha built this amazing structure.

It sounds quite wired at present but do you know which materials were used to build it?

It wasn’t like as the cement or concert we use today. The materials were Bora rice (sticky rice) and Duck egg; sounds fictional but absolutely true.

This temple passed 286 long years but shockingly it still standing and showing the dignity of the powerful Ahom’s architectural intelligence.   
  
Behind this Shiva temple, there is a giant pond located in. This was also a great creation of queen Ambika.

Today this pond is popular as ‘Sivasagar large tank’ or ‘Sivasagar Borpukhuri’. Do you know my friend; this is one of the largest human-made tanks in Asia.
Apart from history, Sivasagar is highly rich in natural beauty and various cultural elements. Just as Jorhat is called the cultural city of Assam state, Sivasagar has also a unique identity in this cultural field too.

Tea tourism is another fastest growing concept here. The beautiful tea gardens always have been attracting travel gigs to come here for once.

On the other hand places like Borhill, Pani Dihing wildlife sanctuary, Dikhow, and Dichang mukh always compatible with planning a stunning picnic party.
Do you this is the home of multiple tribal communities of Assam? Including Ahom, Chutia, Koch, Kachari, Mishing, Deori there are around 47 tribal communities live in. So, in that case, this is heaven to study Assam’s or north-eastern anthropology.

However, this same cause making the culture of the state more prosperous and more beautiful. Visit here once a while, you will definitely love it.

[P.S: sometimes we get confused between the two words, ‘Sivasagar’ and ‘Sibsagar’. There is nothing confusing here. Sivasagar stands for the whole district and Sibsagar is only for the main town of it]

3 Burning Social Problems of Assam

December 01, 2018

3 Burning Social Problems of Assam

source

Every society in the world has some of their own but different Social issues. Actually social problems are a part of a society, which can’t be extant from society for forever.

As like other parts of the world, Assam has also many social issues. In this post, we will learn about 3 main burning social problems of Assam, which has been creating many other problems in this North-eastern state’s society.



1. Unemployment: - The very first burning social problem is unemployment in Assam. I don’t know whether you believe it or not but in 2018 Assam is the most unemployed state of India. Here there is over 35 lakh youth, who are unemployed. So the condition is too bad.

However, the unemployment problem in Assam has many other reasons, like unskilled labor, less growth in Industrialization, blind believes, poor education system, extremist activities, etc.

Among all these reasons I think unskilled labor is the major one. The main reason I think it as a major is a person who has no skill, how he/she will be to do a particular job, which contains technical skill.



2. Illegal immigration: - Illegal immigration to Assam is also another burning issue of Assam, because of illegal immigration the state population has reached today to 3.5 crores. It’s really a huge population to cover for the small state.

Neighboring countries like Bangladesh and other Indian state people immigration here for taking different types of benefit like shelter, food and other like a business, etc.

These things growing the state population horribly, so that is why illegal immigration is also another influencing cause of Assam’s burning social problems.  





3. Language Crisis: - Every caste and community loves their languages very much.  Assamese people also love their Assamese language very much. But nowadays, because of illegal immigration, there is a major crisis falling out to the existence of this beautiful language.

Assamese people are struggling to save their linguistic existence, therefore, a very complex situation now coming out in front of the societies of Assam.

Because there are too many communities are living in the same land, where languages are different from each other. Therefore now communities are standing against each other to save their own languages, especially Assamese VS Bengali.

So, this is also a major burning issue in Assam.

असम की गरीबी के 5 मुल कारन - परिचय (Assam ki Garibi ki 5 Mul Karan- Introduction)

असम की गरीबी के 5 मुल कारन - परिचय (Assam ki Garibi ki 5 Mul Karan- Introduction)

SOURCE

दुनिआ का हर एक समाज कभी भी एक समान नही बन सकता। जिस तरह एक हाथ के पाचो ऊँगली एक समान नही बन सकता,  उसी तरह दुनिआ का हर एक समाज कभी भी एक समान नही हो सकता है।

बाट को अगर आप संकीर्ण करके देखोगे तो आपको पता चलेगा की एक समाज के अंदर भी बहुत सारे समाज होते हैं जिसमे बहुत सारे असमानताए भी होती है। ये उसी की भाटी है जिस तरह आज भारत देश बहुत आगे बढ़ रहा है लकिन भारत देश के ही एक महत्वपूर्ण अंश स्वोरुप असम राज्य बहुत ही पीछे रह गए है।

अगर हम आज की भारत राष्ट्र की बात करे तो आपको पता चलेगा की आज ये देश बहुत ही आगे बढ़ रहा है। लकिन इसी देश का राज्य असम आज भी देश का पांचवा सबसे गरीब राज्य है भला ऐसा क्यों होता है या क्यों हो रहा है। क्या आपको जानने की इच्छा नहीं होती ?

अगर होती है तो इस लेख में हम आपको बताएँगे पांच ऐसे मूल कारन जिसके वजह से असम राज्य आज भी गरीब राज्यों की गिनती में सबसे ऊपर आते है।

तो चलिए बिना देर किए इस कारणों को पांच भागो में बाटकर अध्ययन करते है।



भारत के असम राज्य की गरीबी के 5 मुल कारन (Bharat ke Assam Rajya  ki Garibi ke 5 Mul Karan)


1. सबसे पहला कारन तो है इस राज्य की जनसंख्या। अगर आप असम राज्य की जनसंख्या बृद्धि को देखोगे तो आपको पता चलेगा की कितनी तेजी के साथ इस राज्य में जनसंख्या बढ़ रहा है।

लकिन एहि पर एक ध्यान रखने वाली बात यह है की यहा के लोगो का जो जन्म परिमाण होता है वो नहीं बढ़ रहा , बल्कि बढ़ रहा है असम राज्य में अबाध अनुप्रबेश। अगर आप असम राज्य की जनसंख्या देखोगे तो आपको पता चलेगा की इस राज्य में बांग्लादेशी लोगो की संख्या बढ़ती ही जा रही है।

हर साल इस राज्य में लाखो की ताताद में बांग्लादेशी अनुप्रबेश होती है।  जिसके कारन राज्य में जनसंख्या दिन व दिन बढ़ती ही जा रही है तथा बहुत सारे सम्पद राज्य में होकर भी ये राज्य आज भी गरीब जैसा ही है।  क्योकि जिस तरह जनसंख्या बढ़ रहा है उस तरह उद्पादन नहीं हो रही है तथा बितरण भी कम हो रही है।



2 . दूसरा बड़ा कारन है यहा के लोगो का सोच। अगर हम ध्यान से देखे तो हमको पता चलेगा की असम राज्य का ज्यादातर लोग अन्धबिस्वासी है। किसी समय किसी काम को करने से पहले ये लोग हमेशा ही किसी अंधबिस्वास को प्राधान्य देते है। जैसे की अम्बुबासी मेला के दौरान जब यह के लोग ये मानते है की कामाख्या मंदिर में कामाख्या देवी अपनी मासिक धर्म का पालन कर रही  है। तो वो लोग इस समय कोई भी दूसरा ,काम करने की कोसिस नहीं करते जैसे की खेती करना, पेड़ो से फल-सब्जी तोडना, धन आहरण के लिए व्यब्साई करना इत्यादि।

ये भी एक अन्यतम कारन है जिसके वजह से असम आज गरीब है।


3. असम की शिक्षा व्यवस्था दराचल किसी नए सोच को प्राधान्य नहीं देता, हमेशा ही लोगो को ये मानने के लिए बाध्य करवाता है की समाज जैसे चल रहा है उसी तरह चलता रहना चाहिए।

यहा का शिक्षा नए अबिष्कार से सम्पूर्ण बिपरीत है। इसीलिए आज असम के लोग व्यवसाई करने के प्रति ज्यादा ध्यान नहीं देते बल्कि देते है केबल सरकारी नौकरी ढूंढ़ने के ऊपर।

व्यबसाइक प्रगति ना होने के कारन भी आज असम गरीब राज्य है। दराचल एक राज्य की प्रगति निर्भर करता है उस राज्य में कितने ज्यादा लोग व्यवसाई है इसके ऊपर। अगर बड़े व्यवसाई ही नहीं होगा तो एक राज्य कैसे आगे बढ़ेगा।



4 . दुर्नीति , असम राज्य भारत के बिहार राज्य के बाद दुर्नीति के मामले में राजा है। आज तक दुनिआ में कोई भी इतिहास नहीं लिखा है की एक राज्य दुर्नीति के साथ आगे बढ़के उन्नत राज्य बना है।

असम राज्य में दुर्नीति का कुछ बड़े बड़े उदहरण इस तरह के रहे : - APSC SCAM 2016, IRRIGATION SCAM  इत्यादि।

एक राज्य को गरीब करने में दुर्नीति भी एक बहुत बड़ा कारक की भूमिका पालन करता है।


5 . असम राज्य की अगर राजनैतिक स्थिति देखा तो आपको पता लगेगा की असम में लोकसभा सीट जो है वो मात्रा 14 ही है। लकिन अगर आप असम और उत्तर-पूर्बी भारत को छोड़के देश के अन्यान्य राज्य को देखोगे तो उनमे सीटों की संख्या बहुत ही ज्यादा है। जिसके कारन केंद्र में जो सरकार आते है वो असम तथा उत्तर-पूर्बी भारत के प्रगति को ज्यादा ध्यान में नहीं रखता, जिसके वजह से ये सरे राज्य पीछे रह जाते है।

और परिणाम स्वोरुप मिलते है गरीबी।

मई सोचता हूँ असम की गरीबी के ये भी एक अन्यतम कारन है।
