In the digital age, Facebook has emerged as the primary repository for Manipuri cultural content, ranging from news to entertainment. Among the most enduring and popular genres is the "audio story," often serialized. "Eteima Thu Naba" is a quintessential example of this genre. While the title simply translates to "Talking with Aunt," the content usually delves into complex family dynamics, marital issues, and social etiquette. "Part 1" typically serves as the exposition, establishing the characters and the central conflict that drives the narrative arc.
In Part 1, the listener is usually introduced to a protagonist—often a naive young woman or a new bride—and the Eteima character. The Eteima is not merely a narrator; she acts as a dramatis persona who guides the protagonist through the intricacies of Manipuri social life. Her dialogue is characterized by wit, proverbs ( pungpuns ), and a distinct colloquial tone that resonates with the local audience.
This paper explores the phenomenon of "Eteima Thu Naba," a popular audio-visual storytelling genre within the Manipuri digital landscape, specifically on Facebook. Focusing on the narrative elements typically found in "Part 1" of these series, the analysis examines how the character of the "Eteima" (Aunt/Sister-in-law) serves as a conduit for social messaging, relationship advice, and the preservation of cultural idioms. The paper argues that these digital narratives function as modern folk tales, bridging the gap between traditional oral storytelling and contemporary social media consumption.
