 Gokulananda Gitiswami: The Minstrel Per
Excellence
By Chandra Kanta Singha
Gokulananda Gitiswami is a name
deeply cherished by the Bishnupriya Manipuri people. There are
practically few persons in the community who may not know his name.
A versatile genius as he was, he was a dramatist, a poet, a

Bishnupriya
Manipuris should write their own history
By Dils Lakshmindra Singha
Who will write history of this
race? I may answer this question in the spirit of Bankim Chandra

Manipuris should write their own history because in its truest sense
only the Bishnupriya Manipuris can approach sincerely on the
in-depth and systematic study in this field. [more..]

10 great
Bishnupriya Manipuris
By Ashim Kumar Singha
I've placed Gokulanda Gitiswami
on top of the list because Gitiswami has been one of the major
