Alliance Air was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air India (until April 15, 2022 following Air India's disinvestment in January 27, 2022). It now functions as an independent business under the Government of India. It's logo, the centaur drawing a bow and shooting an arrow into a circle representing the wheel of Konark from the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, was adopted from Air India's earlier (first) logo (1972-89). The logo signifies precision and speed.

Alliance Air isn't exactly a bad airline. It mostly bogged down by delays or worse cancellation. Those planes often jump city to city (Hyderabad-Bangalore-Mysore-Cochin-Agatti at one go) serving remote cities where rest of the airlines refuse to operate. ATR72's are usually loud and often fun to fly with.

The Modern game of Polo is derived from the Sagol Kangjei, Manipur. The then British Raj officers were introduced to this game, they modernised the game and spread it to the whole world and it is now played all over the world. The British Royal are a huge patron of the game of polo. About the Persian polo the basic idea of the game is present, but the modern game of polo doesn't arise from the Persian polo Chovgan. So it is right in saying Manipur gave the Modern game of polo.

Obviously the airline sucks🫣 The main reason why the air fare is low because due to Manipur issues no one travel anymore which is Imphal-Mizoram, Mizoram-Imphal. In normal days the fare usually $47-60

Modern polo originated in Manipur, a northeastern state of India. The Silchar Polo Club was founded in 1859 by British military officers and tea planters, after Lieutenant Joe Sherer saw the locals playing polo and said, “We must learn the game!” From India, polo spread as fast as its enthusiasts could travel, appearing in Malta in 1868, England in 1869, Ireland in 1870, Argentina in 1872 and Australia in 1874. Why are the so-called Kuki people, who have died for their own imaginary homeland in many parts of the world, so jealous of our history?

Some kuki/kuh ki (Persian = people of the Eastern Patkai/Arakan mountain ranges) wild tribes i.e. sukte, khongjai/khongsai (aka khun chai/thokpa), etc. were initially imported/invited from OUTSIDE the southside of the Manipur/Kangleipak Kingdom by the then Meitei Kings around mid-late 1700's. Later, as the erstwhile Kingdom got progressively weakened (due to multi-factorial "issues!") around early-mid 1800's, the British simultaneously started importing more n more khongjais from the southside aka chin n sagaing regions of burma/myanmar; and implanted in the unadministered hills (the so-called "Selected Area Development Administrative Region" aka SADAR Hills aka the present-day Kangpokpi Dist.) surrounding the Manipur Valley (to act as a "buffer-zone" to protect the kingdom against the frequent raids by the northern Angami tribes) in the last 200-300 yrs only...and thus CREATED the MOST HORRIFIC FAULTLINES ever in the history of Manipur... HOWEVER, recently, those "indigenous/native" Manipuri Kukis started importing more and more of their kind and NOW they've started claiming this land as theirs. The British intentionally and wilfully trifurcated the Kuki-Zo-Chin's ORIGINAL HOMELAND aka Chin state of 🇲🇲 + Chittagong hill tracts of 🇧🇩 + Lushai hills aka Mizoram of India 🇮🇳, politically between and amongst those 3 countries (🇲🇲 🇧🇩 and 🇮🇳), as a retribution for their failed uprising/revolt/rebellion (1917-19) NOT anglo-kuki war (instigated by Sanajaoba, a meitei, to overthrow Maharaj Churachand, a meitei king, by promising reduced house taxes) against the British's policy (for recruitment of kukis as laborers/porters under manipur labor corps) during WW1 (1914-18). As a centrist Meitei, I wholeheartedly support and endorse the creation of a Separate Administration or a New Sovereign Nation/Country, specifically and exclusively for the Kuki-Zo-Chin people, aka Kukiland/Zale'ngam/Zogam, comprising of and consolidating the Chin state/hills of 🇲🇲, the Chittagong hill tracts of 🇧🇩 and the Lushai hills aka Mizoram of India 🇮🇳. It's about time the 🇲🇲 junta and the 🇧🇩 govt return back chin state/hills and chittagong hill tracts, respectively, to kuki zo chin people (which rightfully belonged to their ancestors). Imaginary "DREAM"land kukiland = Ccp + Pherzawl + Noney + Kpi + Kamjong + Tengnoupal + Chandel, of UNITED DISTRICTS of MANIPUR. REAL ORI kukiland = chin state/hills of 🇲🇲 + lushai hills/mizoram of 🇮🇳 + chittagong hill tracts of 🇧🇩 !

I will go back at least once more. Wanna revisit Kashi (Varanasi), Jagannath Puri, Bhubaneshwar, Rishikesh and Himachal Pradesh. I would also like to visit the following places I have never been to like Hampi, Kerala, Madurai and Sadhguru's ashram in Coimbatore. Never had a flight attendant tell I can't film either Ben. I was told not to go on small planes in Nepal if I valued my life 🤣🤣 by a Nepali man who had flown ten times within Nepal until he said NEVER AGAIN after a very frightening landing. Keep doing your best parce (amigo). I.m back in Colombia. I think I already told you that in a previous comment. Gotta be the jet lag from Nepal to Colombia.

Just a medium sized backpack at most. I was in Puri in 2019. Nice vibe on the lighter side. They didn't let me in either. No Westerners allowed or basically no non-Hindus allowed in that one. Had a similar experience at 2 South India Vishnu temples in Pushkar, Rajasthan in February of this year. However, I did get into the Brahma temple.
