Obituary: Remembering the Legacy of Bah Sumar Sing Sawian – A Pioneer in Journalism, Literature, and Khasi Culture

Leit suk ban bam kwai ha dwar U Blei Bah Sumar Sing Sawian!
Ramakrishna Mission, Shillong mourns the loss of Bah Sumar Sing Sawian, who passed away on April 8, leaving behind a remarkable legacy that has left an indelible mark on the history of Meghalaya. Bah Sawian was a trailblazer in many aspects, being the first Khasi to join mainstream journalism and making significant contributions to the promotion of Khasi culture and heritage through his writings.
In the early 1990s, Bah Sawian was appointed as the Chief Bureau – Northeast of the prestigious Press Trust of India (PTI), where he displayed unparalleled dedication and professionalism in his work. Later, he joined the English daily Apphira, published by Ri Khasi Press, in the early 2000s and went on to become the Editor-in-Chief, succeeding the renowned writer Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih. His journalistic pursuits were widely recognized and earned him accolades from his peers and readers alike.
Bah Sawian’s passion for literature was also evident in his work. He has written many books, including Ka Jutang and Ki Khun Ki Hajar na Jingkieng Ksiar, among others.
He also translated the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s composition “Geetanjali” into Khasi. He authored numerous books on the indigenous Khasi faith and the culture of the Hynñiewtrep community, reflecting his deep understanding and appreciation of his roots.
As an elder of the Seng Khasi Seng Kmie, Bah Sawian played a pivotal role in organizing the annual pilgrimage to Lum Sohpet Bneng peak, known as “Ka Kiew Pyneh Rngiew.” He was instrumental in preserving and promoting the traditional practices and beliefs of the Khasi tribe, and his efforts were commendable in keeping the cultural heritage alive for future generations.
Bah Sawian’s contributions were not limited to journalism and literature alone. He also made significant contributions to traditional archery, organizing competitions through the Apphira Archery Committee, further promoting indigenous sports and fostering a sense of community pride.
Throughout his illustrious career, Bah Sawian was associated with All India Radio, Shillong, and Doordarshan Kendra, Shillong, where he continued to inspire and mentor young journalists. His work was widely recognized, and he received numerous awards for his exceptional contributions to journalism and social service, including the prestigious Meghalaya Day Award – U Tirot Sing Award for Arts and Literature in 2017, which honored his outstanding achievements.

Bah Sawian’s demise is a great loss to the literary world, and the Khasi community. We are grateful for the time we had with him, and we take solace in knowing that his legacy will live on through his works and the lives he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

Hadien u Sri Ramakrishna u la kem pang bad la pynkynriah noh ïa u sha Cossipore ban sumar, kane ka la long ka por ha ka ba u Narendranath u ïoh ki jinghikai bad jingtynjuh ba bun rukom na une u Nonghikai bakhraw. Ka dei ka por ha kaba ïa ka bor ding mynsiem jong u nongbud ba khynnah dei ban pynrhem bha. U Kynrad jong u ruh u la pyntrei kam bha ïakane ka por da bun ki rukom bad jingtynjuh. U la hikai ïa u Narendranath kumno ba un long u nongïalam jong ki ba bun ki synran jong u. Hakawei ka por u Narendranath u la kyrpad ia u kynrad jong u ba un kyrkhu ïa u khnang ba un ïoh ïaka jingsuk bneng da lade. Hynrei u Kynrad u la mai bad ong ha u; “Nga nang pyrkhat ba men long uba heh bad ïar kum u dieng Banyan, ban long ka jaka rieh ia ki ba bun, mynta pynban me wad jingpynim tang la ka met.” Hadien kane u Narendranath u la sngewthuh ïa ki jingmut u Kynrad jong u. U Sri Ramakrishna u la ong ha u Narendranath ba un sa ai ha u ïa u shabi ka jingkhang jong ki jingthmu jong u tad haduh ba u Narendranath un da lah ban pyndep ïa kiei kiei baroh ïa kiba la phah ïa u ban wan kha shane sha pyrthei. Katto katne sngi shuwa ba u Narendranath un pyndep ïa kita ki jingpynkhreh jong u, u Sri Ramakrishna u la ong ha u Narendranath, “Ka bor jong nga baroh ban leh ïa kiei kiei ki kam bakhraw, nga aiti lut ha me; tad ynda me la pyndep ïakita baroh men sa leit phai pat sha ka jaka na kaba me wan mih.” 

Hadien ka jingiap u Kynrad jong u ha u Naitung, haka snem 1886, ki nongsynran jong u baroh ki la ïalum lang ha iwei i ïing trep hapoh ka jingialam u Narendranath. Ha ka janmiet jong ka sngi Christmas, 1886, u Narendranath, ryngkat bad ki nongsynran jong u baroh ki la leit sha Antpur. Hangta, sawdong ka ding barhem, habar, ki la smai ban long ki Sanyasa ne ki riewwad-Blei. Shuwa ba kane ka snem kan kut u Narendranath ruh u lah mih ban leit wad-Blei. Dei hakane ka por ba la sdang ban buh ïa u mawdong jong ka Seng u Ramakrishna. 

U Narendranath, ynda u la mih noh napdeng ki nongsynran jong u ban leit ïaid riewblei, u la shim bun ki kyrteng kum u pukir wad-blei. Haba u la shang na kawei ka jaka sha kawei pat u la sngewthuh ha la ka mynsiem ba ka jingkwah jong u ym dei ban ioh jingpynim ia la ka met hynrei na ka bynta ki paitbah ba bun. U Narendranath, u la shang na kawei ka jaka sha kawei pat. U la peit ïaka Varanasi, ka shnong ba khuid tam ki Hindu. Nangta u la peit ïa ki shnong, Lucknow, Agra, Vrindaban, Hathras bad Rishikesh. Ha shnong Hathras u la ïakynduh ïa u Sarat Chandra Gupta u ba la kylla long u nongbud ba nyngkong eh jong u, (Hadien la tip ïa u kum u Swami Sadananda). Dei ha une, ba u Narendranath u la pynpaw ïaka jingthmu ba la aiti da u kynrad jong u, u Sri Ramakrishna. U Sarat Chandra Gupta u dei uwei naki nongtrei ha steshon rel ha Hathras; hynrei u la sangeh noh nakaba trei kam ban bud ïa u Nonghikai jong u. 

U Santanu u dei u nongsynshar ka Hima barim tam bad ka Hastinapura ka dei ka nongbah. (Hastinapura- kumba ka long mynta pat, kane ka don ha ka jylla Uttar Pradesh kumba 2 km na shatei lam mihngi na Delhi). Ha kawei ka sngi katba u dang leit beh mrad, u ïohi ïa kawei ka thei samla hajan ka wah bad hangta hangta hi u ïapmat noh ïa ka. Ynda u la pynithuh ïalade, u la kylli, “Phin long ka tnga jong nga?” Ka ruh ba ka ïapmat kumjuh ïa u ka la ong, “Hooid. Hynrei kynmaw ïa kaei ba ngan ong mynta. Ynda nga la ïa poikha bad phi nga dei ban ïoh leh katba mon katba nga kwah. Phim dei ban mushlia ïa kaei ba ngan sa leh. Ngan long ka tnga jong phi katba phi dang bat ïa kine ki kyndon.” U Santanu ruh u la kular ban bat ïa kine ki kyndon. Bad ki sa ïashong kurim. Ynda la poi ka ïa, ki la ïoh khun bad tang shu la lah ieng, ka la sbim ïa ita i khyllung bad bret sha ka wah. Kane ak la pynkyndit lyngngoh bad pynkulmar ïa u Santanu uba shu sngap la ka sngap. Ka long kumjuh ïa wei pat i khyllung bad kumta shi kumta ka leit bret bad wan phai sha iing syiem da ka jingrkhie bad jinghun. U tnga jong ka te um shym la nud kylli namar u tieng ïoh u duh ïa ka ba ka long da shisha ka tnga kaba u hun. Ynda la kha ïa i khun ba phra ka la khreh ban leit biang, u pat u bud sia bad ynda um lah shah shuh, u dumok “Ka kam shyrkhei aiu kane phi ju leh. Sangeh seh!” Da kaba jaijai ka la jubab, “To, ngan ieh ïa ine I khyllung. Tangba ka por ban ïakhlad ka la poi.” “To ïathuh te balei, ïathuh shua ba phin leit.” Hangta ka la batai kumne, “Sa tip ïa nga kum ka Ganga, ka blei kane ka wah. Nga la wan shim ka dur briew ban kha ïa kine ki phra ngut kumba la thoh lypa. Nga la ïa poikha bad phi namar tang maphi uba lah ban pynmih khun. Ki khyllung ki dei ki phra ngut ki Vasu.

U Syiem Santanu u la lyngngoh jlang shiphang, hynrei u la kmen pat bad ïalam sha la ïing Syiem ban kyntiew ïa u kum u nongmih bujli jong u. Saw snem hadien, u Syiem Santanu katba u dang leit beh mrad bad beh thong ïa ka skei, u la ïohi ïa ka thei bhabriew hangta ha khlaw.Tang ïohi ïa ka, u la thrang hir hir ban ïapoi kha bad ka. “Phi dei kaei.

U Syiem te um lah ban kohnguh ïa kane ka jingdawa bad u wan phai sha la ïing Syiem u briew u ba duh jingkyrmen. Ha ki sngi ba bud nangtai u khun Syiem Devavratha u ïohi ïa ka jingbymsuk u kpa u la kylli noh, “Kaei sha Pa kaba pynshitom jingmut ïa phi?” U Syiem u la ong, “Nga khuslai ïa ka ban wan, kumno kan long kane ka jait jong ngi, namar phi long u khun marwei.

Ki la batai ba u kpa jong u u kwah ban ïapoikha bad ka khun u nongtong dohkha, hynrei um shym lah ban pdiang ïa ka jingdawa u kpa ka khynnah. Kumta hi u khun u la leit sha ka trep kata ka khynnah bad u sa kular ba ki khun kata ka khynnah kin sa long nongmih bujli u Syiem. Hynrei, u nongtong dohkha uba la ïohi jngai u kwah ban ïa sngewthuh shai, “Hynrei mano ban mih bujli ïa u ksiew jong nga?” u Devavratha u la ong, “Wa, ki khun jong u hi kein.

Hangla u la ona ïa kata ka briew, “Ia noh kein, kiew ha ka kali ïapom jong nga. Naduh mynta ka sngi phi dei ka kmie jong nga.” Ka Satyavathi- ka kyrteng kane ka tnga ba ar U Syiem – ka la kha arngut ki khun shynrang U Chitrangada bad U Vichitravirya, U Chitrangada ynda la dei kapor, u la mih bujli ïa u Santanu.

Ha ka ïa kaba biang, u Syiem ka Kasi u la pynbna ka Swayamwara – (ka por ba ki kynthei ki jied ïa ki shynrang ban long ki tnga jong ki) na ka bynta ki laingut ki khun kynthei jong u, kiba kytieng ka Amba, Ambika bad Ambalika. Ha kata ka sngi ba la ïalum lut ki paidbah bad ki khun Syiem kylleng, u Bhisma snodet syndet u pyrta, “Kat kum ka jingbatai ki tymmen ki san don bun jait ki rukom ban jied ïa ki thei samla.
