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. Thank you CIFAE !
Wonderfully captured and documented! Thank you for doing these great things for Garo Hills. Hope to see the video of the Nokrek National Park as well in the future :)
Its good to know what kinds of species are there.. We garo people should take the opportunity to research about the flora and fauna of balpakram.. and to safeguard the wildlife.. Not only balpakram there were other undiscovered place are there in garo hills..
Thank you Telle Corlin Marak for your thoughtful comment! Please share this, spread the word, and help us help the Garo protect their beautiful land and wildlife, and to preserve their wonderful way of life! REPLY
Actually balpakram is the home of 'dikki' and 'bandi ' which is not called ram by the garos' , dikki and bandi believed by the garos to be mande tongsa mit.e tongsa which means half human half god .

I am very much thankful to CIFAE for taking this bold step and is it possible that this Balpakram National Park can be accorded a World Heritage Site and what steps should we the people should do. I too will do my best to spread awareness and move to incude it in the WHS. I hope that it will be included in the WHS looking forward for it.. Thank you so much for your contribution and efforts
Dear Kapur, Thank you! Our efforts continue unwaveringly and we will press on until we earn the Garo Hills and Garo People the full protection that they deserve! With best wishes, Ron
Please don't identify Balpakram with Hindu God Ram. It hurts sentiments of Garos. Animist Garo Culture, believe and customary is completely different from Hinduism. FYI Balpakram is said to be place of Dikki Bandi duo.

@@dollymomin8085 There is no mention of Ram in the history of Garo oral tradition and folklore. This is the first time I'm hearing such a story. Many people are saying it's the story of Dikki-Bandi.

Sorry to say bro u dnt know anything about Hinduism. Animism is a part of Hinduism, in Buddhist which borned from Hinduism also practices animism. In Japan, Africa and many more countries follow animism. What u have is little knowledge about Hinduism. 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. The religion u so call animism is just a word now.
@@vickysonar21 The Garo religion has nothing in common with Hinduism,Garos don't have a caste system and neither do they worship cows. The traditional beliefs of the tribal people of the NE and Central India must be safeguarded against mainlander Hindu colonialism.
Balpakram is the resting place of Dikki and Bandi, and the land of Spirit. There is no relations with Ram and the word ram itself make no sense in A.chik (Garo)language

It is extremely important for the traditional, orally transmitted religious beliefs of the Garos to not be subsumed by Hinduism or Christianity.
Beautiful Garo Hills I am Garo Man.
Thank you, Silberth, for your voice and support!

Yeah it will show the world that Meghalaya is a hindu state
But we're Christians so that's hurt
It is true though. There is also a story that the wife of Lord Shiva is actually a Garo lady.
