Haflong,
20 September 2022 : Dimasa Mothers’ Association vehemently condemn the wrong
projection of female infanticide in the movie SEMKHOR hurting the sentiments of
Dimasa community just for benefit of the few.
This
was stated in a press release by the President and General Secretary of DMA.
Referring
to the recent statements and reviews shared in social media and other platforms
about the movie “SEMKHOR”, where the Dimasas of Semkhor village are projected
as practicing female infanticide following maternal death during delivery,
which is totally untrue and factually incorrect, the DMA said.
The
DMA claimed that the Dimasas have never had issues of such act of gender
discriminations
nor have ever seen or read in any history of the Dimasas.
They
want that fictional stories scripted for any movie should not be propagated as
factual practices of the Dimasa community or any other tribal communities. Such
propaganda is disgraceful and may diminish the honour of the indigenous tribe
of the state of Assam, the release said.
Moreover,
as published in the social media and other platforms about the people of
Semkhor not being welcome to developments such as education, health, good
communications in their village is absolutely false, they added.
