Myths Of Thangal Origin From An Anthropological Perspective
International Journal of Business, Human and Social Sciences ISSN: 2517-9411 Vol:11, No:8, 2017 Myths of Thangal Origin from an Anthropological Perspective Monoranjan Maibam, Arundhati Maibam, Bojen Akoijam 1 Abstract—Myths may be understood as a special kind of literature though not found in written form. Through myths, anthropologists make attempts to describe a world which members of a literate society can barely imagine.

PATRIOTS’ DAY: Remembering the Fallen Heroes of Anglo-Manipuri War
August 12, 2021
The Anglo- Manipuri War of 1891 is one of the most important events in the history of Manipur.

Sayyids on Board: Hadramis in Indian Ocean
The troubled political situations of Hadarmout, warfare, natural disasters and above all the culture of migration for which Hadramis were proverbial, made them travel extensively all over the Indian ocean as merchants, missionaries and Sufi activists.
Sayyids came to India in different centuries and settled mostly in coastal areas. The word ‘Ᾱl Shihāb[i]’ means ‘the family of Shihab’ and here the word denotes Shihab family that came to Kerala in the mid-18th century, settled in Calicut and later moved to Panakkad and premises. This research is done on the history and impact of two notable persons, i.e., PMSA Pookoya Thangal and Sayyid Muhammad Ali Shihab Thangal in particular and other members of the family in general.
Hadrami Arabs such as Sayyids, scholars, Sufis and merchants – spread a positive trend of Islamic culture as they travelled and settled in the different oceanic world from South Africa on the southern strip of Africa to Timor, at the border of the Malay Archipelago.
