Let there be no misunderstanding, Balpakram is not the land of RAM or in no way related to Ramayana. I presume what Mr Khuluk Sangma said is just his personal understanding and thoughts and not a statement for the entire Garo tribe and it's believe. Balpakram is the land of our ancestors and the resting place of the departed souls. Balpakram is the place of Dikki, Bandi, Goera, Giting, Sore and other. Balpakram ni gimin golpoko taridape aganjaode mitelbegen. Jatni bebe ra'aniko aro jatni mikkimko pale cha'panabe. Angni mol'mola ian. Mittella.

The name Balpakram the 'Ram' at the end does not specify the Ram of Ramayan Mythology. It's a simple linguistic style such as "dongram" which means a place to stay or "saliram" which means West in Garo language. Balpakram as such "Balpak" meaning to 'get blown away' so in translation it means 'a place where something gets blown away to'. According to Garo mythology Balpakram is a place where the spirits go to in the after life hence the name.

Salute for this great work in Balpakram. I always wished for this kind of initiative and works to be taken up in BNP and also in NNP for protection flora and fauna and at the same time save the catchment areas all over Garo Hills. I see that you have travelled deep into BNP jungle like Deoban, Kundulgop, Bija Dare area etc. Perhaps you have taken video cameras to where no video camera has ever gone before. I wish we could keep Camera traps / trail cams but we could not afford it. If ever, me and my team can be of any small help in these kind of Conservation works, please feel free to contact us.

Bdw Hinduism is not a religion it's a name given to people who used to stay near Hind Mahasagar Or Indian Ocean presently, Actually India never had a specific religion we all have separate belief system combinely which makes up other people known as Hinduism. Still people in our country don't knows anything about our religion and won't even know anymore coz all the NE are taken over by Christian missionaries.
