Is Imaar Thar in Danger: Dwindling Vs Secure

Today is Ninthoapa (Monday)


To the question – Is Imaar Thar in Danger?

Sarmila Sinha says that the population speaking the language is dwindling. However with the renewed impetus to the preservation of the culture, language and identity by today’s generation, it is safe, avers Pranjal Sinha. For Suroshree Sinha, “Language cannot be extinct” and it is complete “No” for Gautam Sinha.

Sarmila Sinha stays in London, UK, and she is originally from Guwahati, Assam

Is Imaar Thar in Danger? – Yes

I think the population of Bishnupriya Manipuri is dwindling, and there is no political platform to expand or secure our base.


Pranjal Sinha resides in Pittsburg, USA, and hails from Guwahati, Assam

Is Imaar Thar in Danger? – Yes

Though I have voted for "yes", but I have a strong feeling that our people are becoming more & more conscious about their identity/culture/language. The participation of many young people shows that.

Anyway, I am optimistic that we will gain our old glory.


Suroshee Sinha’s family stays in Delhi and are from Tripura

Is Imaar Thar in Danger? – No

Language cannot be extinct. Yes there are people who don’t know how to speak "Imaar thar", but I guess it is not their fault. We don’t speak Imaar thar at home even to interact among ourselves. We are more comfortable with the local dialect whatever it might be.
There should be a conscious effort to speak in our Imaar thar at least at home.

I know how to speak in my Imaar thaar even if I live in Delhi, yes I am more comfortable in Hindi or English but mom starts of in Imaar thar and I follow it, can’t that happen in every house hold.

Am I correct (I don’t know), but this seems to be a logical and feasible answer.


Gautam Sinha presently in Goa will be soon in Delhi to pursue MTech in IIT Delhi. He is originally from Tripura.


Is Imaar Thar in Danger? – No

I think that our youngsters understand the Bishnupriya Manipuri language. If we make more and more awareness amongst youngster then this will not happen.


You can have your say on this issue – Is Imaar Thar in Danger?

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Thakur, the great saint of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Community was born on 26th October, 1871, in a remote village of Cachar district called Baropua in the state of Assam.
