Prof MC Arun of Manipur University, S Rajen Editor of Toknga Daily paper and Dr Dhanabir Laishram spoke at the observation as resource persons.
The formal function started at 11:00 am with the offering of floral tribute to a life size portrait of Hijam Irabot.
Addressing the gathering, Prof MC Arun said that the first half of the twentieth century was a critical phase and the world witnessed major transformations in almost every field including socio, political, economic etc.
Such developments in other place of the world were also reflected in the then feudal Manipur society and influenced the newly emerging educated generation of Manipur society, MC Arun observed.
In such a back drop, Hijam Irabot found an opportunity to transform the ‘subject of the King of Manipur’ into the ‘people’, he pointed out.
He cited such transformation of ‘subject’ into ‘the people’ was first witnessed during the Nupi Lal of 1904, the Kuki rebellion of 1917 and also during the Nupi Lal of 1939.
During his deliberation, Prof Arun mentioned that there were three categories of people in the society, the first one being traditionalists who held the view of keeping the tradition as in the past, the second being the modernists who opted to open the window wide and the third one is a critical group who took the opportunity of the changes while observing the changes and guiding its way for the welfare of the society.
He also observed that the struggles of 1904, 1917 and 1939 were launched by the marginalized people and emphasized that such struggles were not launched by those people who were in the spotlight of the society.
S Rajen, Editor of Toknga elaborated on Irabot’s influence in the 1939 Nupi Lal which was launched against the transportation of local rice outside Manipur by the trading community of Mayang Marwaries.
Dr Dhanabir Laishram observed that Hijam Irabot observations were organized across the state in a mere namesake by not following his political path and ideology.
