Let’s be honest about this whole Ghibli-style AI image trend? It’s everywhere. Feeds flooded with dreamy, anime-like versions of people, places, pets, you name it. It’s easy to roll your eyes and feel like it’s just another internet phase that’s going to fade fast. And yes, it probably will. Most trends burn out when they get too big too fast. But before we brush it off completely, maybe we should look a little closer.

Because honestly? There’s something kind of amazing happening here.

ChatGPT-4o’s new image generation model not only allows us to create Ghibli-style images but also supports a wide range of artistic styles. Additionally, it offers character consistency and all other features that you'd want in an AI image generator, this opens up a whole lot of possibilities, with continuously improving tools and a constantly evolving large language model, it will only get better over time.

These AI-generated images aren't just a fun distraction, they’re a new way for people to tell stories. Think folk tales, fables, and life-altering narratives, whether personal or historical reimagined in a beautiful, animated style. As not everyone has the time, training, or money to create professional-level art or hire someone who does. But now, with just a few clicks and the right prompts, anyone can bring their imagination to life.

This can be especially powerful in places where resources are limited. Take Kokborok, for example, a language that doesn’t have many children’s books with visuals kids can actually relate to. With AI tools, it’s now possible to create books filled with colorful, personalized illustrations that make learning way more engaging for kids. That’s a game changer.

Of course, there are valid worries here. Artists put their heart and soul into their work, and AI could definitely impact that. But I believe human-created art still has a special place. People who care deeply about quality and originality will always seek out real artists. Plus, AI still messes up, it can’t always capture emotion, culture, or consistency the way a person can. And that's where artists can step in and refine or collaborate with these tools.

There’s also this new role emerging: the “AI prompt expert.” These are folks who know how to talk to AI, guide it, and get the best out of it. It’s a legit skill, and it’s already becoming its own kind of job. So while AI might shake up the creative world, it’s also opening up new paths for people who couldn’t create before, people with ideas but no way to express them.

Yes, AI can be scary. It might take some jobs, and it’s definitely changing the game. But it’s also giving people the power to create, to tell stories, and to share ideas in ways they never could before. If we use it thoughtfully, there’s real potential here, not just for art, but for education, culture, and community too.

So maybe don’t roll your eyes too hard at that next Ghibli-style post. There’s more to it than just a trend.

26/03/2025

In a heated debate on March 24, during the second day of the Tripura Legislative Assembly’s Budget Session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath made a controversial remark against Opposition Leader Jitendra Chaudhary. The minister’s statement, "Jiten Babu has shown how his community really is," which directly implied that Jitendra Chaudhary’s behavior reflects how people of his ethnicity or community generally behave. This sparked outrage among CPI(M) MLAs, who expressed their discontent within the session itself.

The controversy escalated further on March 25 when Jitendra Chaudhary filed a Privilege Motion against Ratan Lal Nath. In protest, CPI(M) legislators staged a walkout from the Assembly and later organized a rally in the capital city, condemning the minister’s remarks.

Many now accuse Ratan Lal Nath of racism and harboring prejudice against the Tiprasa community, to which Chaudhary belongs. The remarks have angered members of the Tiprasa community, with calls for the minister’s resignation from his cabinet post. Public criticism has also transcended party lines, with people asserting that targeting someone’s ethnicity, community, or race is unacceptable and unjustifiable.

The Karnataka Adivasi Hakkugala Samanvaya Samithi has written to the Governor of Tripura, demanding action against Ratan Lal Nath for caste-ethnic abuse. CPI(M) Political wings like TSU, SFI, TYF, and DYFI have also expressed strong discontent over the incident.

This controversy highlights a growing trend of racial discrimination in Tripura. Just last year, a Tiprasa traffic police officer faced racial abuse while performing his duties. While racial discrimination is a well-documented issue for Northeastern people living outside the region, the rising trend of racial profiling within Tripura itself raises alarm. If such incidents continue unchecked, Tripura risks becoming a segregated society, resembling apartheid-like conditions in the future.

25/03/2025

On March 25, Tuesday, TIPRA M***a MLA Ranjit Debbarma of 24-Ramchandraghat (ST) Constituency raised a significant question in the Tripura Legislative Assembly. Addressing Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma, he inquired whether there were any plans to cancel the Scheduled Tribe (ST) status of tribal women who marry non-tribal men.

This question was raised on the third day of the Assembly's Budget Session, which will continue until April 1. However, this is not the first time the issue has surfaced in public discourse. Previously, TTAADC's Education and Kokborok Department EM Rabindra Debbarma brought up the same concern in the district council. Additionally, IPFT (Tipraha) in 2018 also highlighted the matter in one of their press briefings. What makes this development noteworthy is that this is the first instance of the issue being raised within the Tripura Legislative Assembly (TLA).

The debate over the ST status of tribal women who marry outside their community is not unique to Tripura. In Northeastern states, this has been an ongoing discussion. In 2022, Government of Arunachal Pradesh announced similar approach to be implemented. Even the Meghalaya Assembly has witnessed debates and bills being passed on the matter. Advocates for such a law argue that preserving tribal culture and tradition requires ensuring that tribal women marry within their community. To discourage inter-community marriages, they believe revoking ST status could serve as a deterrent.

However, the issue has sparked controversy and criticism. Many call out the hypocrisy of such a proposal, as tribal men who marry non-tribal women do not face the same consequences. Critics argue that if the goal is to protect tribal identity, then why does the rule apply only to women? Supporters of inter-community marriages highlight biological and genetic diversity benefits, while opponents claim the real concern is inheritance and land ownership. In tribal areas, non-tribal individuals cannot legally own land, and some fear that through marriage, non-tribal men could indirectly gain control over tribal property. This fear has fueled demands to strip ST status from tribal women who marry non-tribal men.

Despite repeated discussions, tribal women in Tripura who marry non-tribal men continue to retain their ST status. Whether a law will be enacted to change this remains uncertain. However, given the growing debate, this issue is unlikely to fade anytime soon.

20/03/2025

The Twipra Students' Federation (TSF) has called for an indefinite statewide strike starting March 21 in protest against the state government's continuous refusal to provide Kokborok subject question papers in Roman script for both CBSE and TBSE board exams.

TSF has urged both students and their guardians to boycott the Class 12 CBSE Kokborok exam scheduled for March 21.

TSF's General Secretary, Mr. Hamlu Jamatia, announced the strike in a press conference on Thursday, stating that it will continue until the demand for the Roman script for Kokborok is met.

He has urged students, guardians, and all tribal communities, including non-Kokborok-speaking tribes, to stand in solidarity with the movement.

The strike is expected to take place across the state in various locations. Markets and roads in hill district areas will likely remain closed, and all national highways passing through TTAADC will be blocked.

All major roads leading to general areas are expected to be completely shut down. Several educational institutions in ADC areas will remain closed, and access to examination centers will be limited.

The demand for the Roman script for Kokborok is one of the longest-standing demands of the Tiprasa people. Many see this strike as inevitable, given the state government's persistent refusal to provide question papers in the Roman script for Kokborok exams. Some believe this could be the decisive movement to achieve the Roman script for Kokborok, while others speculate that it may end like previous protests—without a concrete resolution.

But what happens next remains to be seen.

The Tripura government has decided to organise a state-level Youth Parliament competition, which will be held in the Tripura Legislative Assembly on March 23.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Tripura Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Tinku Roy said that the state-level Youth Parliament competition will take place in the Tripura Legislative Assembly on March 23, with 40 talented youths between the ages of 15 and 25, selected from the eight districts of the state, participating in the event.

“This program was launched in 2019 with the youth of the country, guided by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a developed India. The state-level Youth Parliament competition will also focus on the thoughts of the youth community on taking India forward, inspired by the spirit of patriotism. Three competitors selected from across the state will later be sent to the central-level Youth Parliament competition in Delhi,” he said.

He further mentioned that a talent search program had been conducted across the state.
“The program, which was launched on February 4 by the Youth Affairs and Sports Department, involved 34,571 young athletes from 247 zones across all blocks, municipal councils, nagar panchayats, and municipal corporations in the state. This is the first time that such a program has been implemented statewide to identify talented athletes at the grassroots level. Talented players participate in two categories—under 10 years and under 14 years—in football, kho-kho, kabaddi, and athletics. Players selected from all municipal councils, nagar panchayats, blocks, and municipal corporations in the state then compete at the sub-district and district levels,” he told reporters.

17/03/2025


On Monday, Class 10 CBSE students appeared for their board examination in Kokborok subject. However, many struggled to read the question paper, which was written in Bengali script. They were unprepared for this, as most had studied Kokborok in Roman script, expecting the question paper to be in the same. To their shock, it was not. As a result, many found it difficult to answer the questions properly, leaving much of their paper blank.

So, we ask—who is responsible for this mishap? Have we failed our students? Have we failed their hopes and aspirations?

No one was demanding for the status quo. Since 2015, the unwritten policy of the Tripura government allowed students to write their Kokborok board exam answers in either Bengali or Roman script, with invigilators evaluating both. However, in 2024, the TBSE President openly declared a halt to this policy, mandating that only the Bengali script be used in board examinations, since CBSE relied on TBSE for overall conduct of Kokborok Subject, the policy effected in the case of CBSE too. This decision inevitably sparked mass protests, which ultimately reinstated the same unwritten policy from 2015—thus maintaining the status quo.

This meant it brought no real progress, yet it was celebrated as a significant achievement by many so-called Tiprasa politicians. However, many Tiprasa intellectuals and student leaders were not satisfied with the announcement because they knew it offered nothing new. Despite this, it was heavily marketed as a resolution to the Kokborok script issue.

That year, the board examination proceeded as usual. The question paper was in Bengali script, but many students wrote their answers in Roman script, as interpreters were available in most exam centers. This gave some students hope that the next year’s question paper would also be available in Roman script—an expectation fueled by misleading claims.

When the next year arrived, only the Twipra Students’ Federation (TSF) was seen protesting during the Tripura Legislative Assembly’s winter session, urging legislators to raise the issue. Yet, only one Tiprasa MLA stood up for the cause. Due to a lack of proper awareness, many students prepared for their Kokborok exam in Roman script, assuming the question paper would be in Roman as well. But to their shock, the paper was still in Bengali.

This especially affected CBSE students, who were unprepared for Bengali script and struggled to understand the questions—let alone answer them properly. Many examination centers also lacked interpreters, as there were too few Tiprasa or Kokborok teachers available to assist students. As a result, numerous students found themselves stuck, unable to answer the questions because they simply could not read the script.

So, have we failed them? The answer is yes.

We, the advocates of Kokborok in Roman script, have failed our students because we did not exert enough pressure on the racist state government to accept our demand. The so-called dealmakers failed to secure Roman script in their negotiations. As a society, we failed to stand up for the Kokborok Roman script movement, choosing instead to remain passive, confined to social media comments.

Yes, we have all failed our students.

17/03/2025

The Karbi Students' Association (KSA), Hamren Regional Committee, launched a protest following the brutal attack on one of its members, Sukursing Enghee. The attack, which took place on March 14 at approximately 7:45 PM in Diphu (the Headquarter of (KADC), was allegedly carried out by Nirirul Islam, a fish vendor. In response, the KSA organized a dharna (sit-in protest) at its office premises in Dongkamukam, demanding immediate justice for the victim and stricter action against the perpetrator.

The organization has vowed to continue its protests until proper justice is served. During the dharna, the protesters raised slogans demanding the strictest punishment for the accused, including capital punishment, and also calling for the eviction of illegal settlers in West Karbi Anglong.

KSA leaders stressed that their movement is not just about seeking justice for Enghee but also about addressing broader concerns related to illegal settlements and law enforcement in the region.

As a follow-up to their protest, the KSA has also raised objections to the Karbi Anglong District Council's (KADC) decision to temporarily suspend Nirirul Islam’s trading license. The student body is demanding a permanent cancellation of his license, arguing that temporary measures are insufficient in preventing further incidents of violence and misconduct.

According to the KSA, allowing the accused to resume business in the future would send a weak message and fail to deter similar acts. The student body has urged the authorities to take more decisive action to ensure safety and justice for Karbi people.

This incident has sparked wider debates on issues of law and order in Karbi Anglong. The KSA’s protests reflect a growing frustration among local communities regarding the presence of individuals they claim are "illegal settlers" and the perceived failure of authorities to take strict action against them. While the demand for justice is central to their movement, it has also reignited discussions about demographic changes and land rights in the region.

Union Home Minister Amit Saha on Sunday declared that the Centre will name a road in Delhi in the name of Bodofa Upendra Nath Brahma.

Speaking at the 57th Annual Conference of the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) in Kokrajhar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that peace has prevailed in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), after the Bodo Peace Accord.

Shah said, "ABSU plays a tremendous role in fostering peace and tranquility in the region. ABSU also played an important role in unfolding the Bodo Peace Accord."

As a token of appreciation, Amit Shah announced that a major road in Delhi would be named after Bodofa Upendra Nath Brahma, a key figure in the Bodo movement.

Shah further said, "Congress party mocked me, saying no peace will come in Bodoland and the peace accord will go in vain. In contrast, the BJP-led centre and government have fulfilled 82 percent of the accord’s clauses. Government will cover the remaining clause of the accord within 2 years under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

He said that the Assam Government and the Central Government have allotted Rs 1,500 crore for the development of BTR.

"The government has brought thousands of youths to the mainstream under Narendra Modi. Many have surrendered with arms, and in the last three years in Assam," said the Home Minister.

"Government has rehabilitated 4,881 cadres of NDFB and spent around Rs 287 crore on their resettlement, of which 90% of the amount was borne by the Narendra Modi government," Saha added.

Home Minister Shah paid tribute to Bodofa Upendra Nath Brahma and highlighted the significance of Dotma, Kokrajhar, where Brahma was born.

Moreover, Amit Shah also paid tribute to the 5,000 martyrs who played a major role in bringing peace in the region of Bodoland during the event.

A Five Year old Tiprasa girl was s*xually assaulted by an eighteen year old Tiprasa boy, Elison Debbarma. This incident has once again proved, we as a society have yet to be civilized. Even though, after this incident there should have been a solidarity March or this news should have made into our headlines, everyone should have been talking about this, and raising concerns that we shouldn't let this happen again. But instead, no major organizations or media outlets or influential personalities seem to really care about it. This silence is not just a failure of justice but a reflection of a society that prioritizes communal politics over internal reform. The incident forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about our community and compels us to ask: Why do we only raise our voices when the perpetrator belongs to another community? Why do we turn a blind eye to the rot within our own?

𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦

The Tiprasa society, like many others, has often rallied together in moments of communal tension. When a girl from the community is assaulted by someone from another community, the outrage is immediate and loud. Protests, candlelight marches, and demands for justice dominate the discourse. But when the perpetrator is one of our own, the silence is deafening. This selective outrage is not just hypocritical, it is dangerous. It perpetuates a culture where crimes are judged not by their severity but by the identity of the accused. It allows social evils to persist within the community, because people protect them in the name of community's unity (Thansa). 𝘖𝘣𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘪 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪 𝘣𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘯𝘪 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘬 𝘬𝘸𝘳𝘸𝘯𝘨𝘸𝘪 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘸𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶, 𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘯𝘪 𝘩𝘸𝘯𝘬𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘬𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘬 𝘰𝘩 𝘬𝘰𝘬𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘯𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪 𝘯𝘪 𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘸𝘪 𝘦𝘣𝘢 𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘪 𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘸𝘪 𝘱𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘸𝘺𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘰 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘸𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶.

The case of the five-year-old girl is a stark reminder of this double standard. Had the accused been from a different community, the reaction would have been swift and severe. But since the perpetrator is a Tiprasa boy, the incident has been brushed under the rug. This indifference is a betrayal of the victim and a failure of our collective moral responsibility.

What was even more shocking about this incident was that right after committing the heinous crime, the accused threatened the five-year-old girl, warning her not to tell anyone or he would kill her. Out of fear of his threats and the worry that her mother might punish her if she spoke up, the child remained silent. Such a small child had to endure immense trauma that would likely stay with her for the rest of her life. Another disturbing aspect was that this incident was almost swept under the rug, but it came to light only after some news outlets covered the story.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩-𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧

The Tiprasa society is grappling with a host of social evils that demand urgent attention. Child marriage, for instance, remains prevalent in many hill villages. Despite being illegal, the practice continues unabated, often justified by economic desperation and the will of the minors to get married. The lack of s*x education among tribal youth further exacerbates the problem, leaving them ill-equipped to understand consent, boundaries, and the consequences of their actions. Sexual assault cases within the community are not new, yet they are rarely discussed or addressed. This culture of silence and denial only emboldens perpetrators and perpetuates the cycle of abuse.

Witch hunting is another glaring issue that continues to haunt Tiprasa society. Just recently, a middle-aged man was brutally beaten to death on mere suspicion of being a witchcraft practitioner. Such incidents are not just acts of violence; they are a reflection of the deep-rooted superstitions and lack of awareness that plague our society. These issues cannot be ignored any longer. They demand immediate action and a collective effort to bring about change.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

While it is easy to vent our frustrations on social media, real change requires ground action. Writing about social evils is not enough; we must actively work to eradicate them. Reformation is the need of the hour.

Community leaders, activists, and organizations must take the lead in addressing these issues. They must ensure that every case of s*xual assault, regardless of the perpetrator's identity, is met with the same level of outrage and demand for justice. The media, too, has a crucial role to play. By highlighting these issues, they can bring them to the forefront of public consciousness.

The Tiprasa society stands at a crossroads. We can either continue to ignore the problems within our community and risk further breakdown, or we can confront these issues head-on and work towards a more just and equitable society. The choice is ours. But let us remember that true progress begins with introspection and action. We cannot demand justice for victims of communal violence while turning a blind eye to the injustices within our own community.

The five year old girl who was s*xually assaulted deserves justice, not silence. The victims of child marriage, witch hunting, and other social evils also deserve our attention and action. Only then can we hope to build a society that is just, inclusive, and civilised.
