WHAT IS THE AURORA BOREALIS?

-


The Vikings believed that the lights were reflections of the Valkyries' armor as they marched towards Odin. Some Inuits thought that the lights in the sky were the spirits of their ancestors dancing and the Greeks associated these lights with bad omens.

Whatever the meaning the ancient people attributed to the lights, the Aurora Borealis is a sight to behold. With the advancement of the sciences, we know that the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights are caused by the Earth's atmosphere interacting with charged particles from the Sun during a solar flare.

As the particles from a solar flare reach Earth, they are channeled along Earth's magnetic fields towards the North and South poles. These particles then interact with the atoms and molecules in our atmosphere, exciting and causing them to release photons. These photons are the lights that we see in the sky during an aurora. Their southern counterparts are known as aurora australis.

   ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ AstroMuon Kuki 1. Regarding Meitei ST: Granting a community ST (Scheduled Tribe) status in India is solely dependent on the President, based on the recommendation of Parliament, not the High Court or State government. That is why the Supreme Court canceled the order given by the Manipur High Court and the state government (Meitei government) as unconstitutional, following the Milind vs. State of Maharashtra (2001) judgment. There are fundamental rights under the Constitution of India, where every citizen not only has the freedom of speech and expression but also the right to assemble peacefully without arms in public places to dissent against the government. The Manipur tribals feel that the majority community would exploit their land, culture, language, and rights if they were given ST status. So, are we protesting merely out of whims and fancies on this issue? 2. Regarding land disparity: It is true that the Imphal Valley consists of 10% of the total land in Manipur, ...

  ~AstroMuon Kuki It is both unfortunate and hilarious how the media fraternity and well-known individuals have been misled by Meitei propagandists. All these falsehoods are being spread to suppress the tribal Kuki people, who are among the most loyal citizens of the three communities living in Manipur โ€” the Kuki, Kacha Naga, and Meitei. Both the Kacha Nagas and Meitei communities have demanded sovereignty from India, yet our fellow Indians ignore this fact and instead make allegations against the tribal Kuki people, who have shed their blood and lives for this nation, simply because the majority of them are Christians. Out of 112 Kuki freedom fighters from Manipur, more than 80 are Kuki. Yet today, we are paraded naked, sexually assaulted, raped, mocked, thrashed, tortured, killed, and our dead bodies desecrated. Are we lesser Indians? Have we ever ambushed our Indian army? Don't you know that the majority community you support today is the one that has been killing our Indian sol...
