the Ariyaan Moktan space.

Welcome to my space. Here I have curated my writings on ideas, concepts and stories that I feel deserve attention. I hope this serves as a collection of knowledge and debate that everyone can access. I urge people to voice their opinions and remind you that this is equally a forum for discussion as it is a collection of works.

H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama and "Cancel Culture".

The Dalai Lama is a position more than a person and the current Dalai Lama, whose name is Tenzin Gyatso is the 14th reincarnation of the same entity. The Dalai Lama is believed to be a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, who is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and the patron saint of Tibet. When China invaded Tibet in 1950, the 14th Dalai Lama had to assume full political power and deal with the situation. Despite his best attempts at negotiating peace, China was relentless in its invasion of Tibet and suppression of resistance. This forced the 14th Dalai Lama to escape with his people to India who provided refuge. Since then the Dalai Lama has been living in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh and the Tibetan people live as refugees all over the world or in China as subjugated subjects. He has been widely regarded as a wise and spiritual person and is a Nobel Peace laureate. Thus it came as quite a shock to the world when a video started circulating of him interacting with a child. ...

The Gorkhas' own "Nirbhaya".

The Gorkha community has been understandably outraged by the incident and have shown solidarity to the victim and her family. Such disgusting and barbaric acts are not common in the peaceful Darjeeling hills and the entire community is shocked as they mourn the loss of an innocent young girl. The PIG is in police custody due to swift action by the police and awaits his punishment, with the entire Gorkha community understandably demanding the death penalty. On the eve of 21st of August, our innocent victim was returning from school. The details of the case still remain fuzzy but it seems that our victim was being catcalled and eve-teased by the PIG as she was trying to rush back home. As she reached the Jyoti Nagar area of Matigara in Siliguri, the PIG managed...

The Meitei struggles in Manipur, and the delicate situation in the North East.

The Kangleipak State in North East India was established in the 12th Century laying the foundations of what is today Manipur. It came under Burmese control before the British occupied it as a princely state in 1891. After Independence Manipur was declared a union territory in 1956 and a full fledged state in 1972. It has been a major gathering point and crossroads of Asian economy as it connects India and Central Asia to Southeast and East Asian countries. Therefore the culture of the people too is rich as it is influenced by many other communities. The chief community of Manipur are the Meitei people and their language is used as a lingua franca by other tribes such as the Naga and Kuki, who speak Sino-Burmese languages. The Meitei represent almost 53% of the population of the Manipur state and live chiefly in the urban valley of Manipur. In recent days we have witnessed stories of violent clashes and destruction from Manipur. This was due to a recent flare in a long divide b...
