London, Nov 8: Leaders of the Hindu community in Britain have protested against one of this yearÂ’s six Christmas stamps issued by the Royal Mail on the grounds that its image amounts to an insult to Hinduism.
The stamp in question is based on a 17th-century picture that shows a man and a woman

I would like to share my views regarding the topic 'Rebuild Assam or India'. It is a very very nice initiative.
It is mentioned there that 'If you have any objection about ULFA- ask yourself why India continues with a million strong armed forces...'
Yes, of course. I have objection about ULFA.

I am sure you did not post your comments here merely to preach,

This seems like a good development. Hopefully more people will take up the matter at World Bank - which is also in DC and at UN which is nearby at New York. Partha Gogoi's and Sanjoy Hazarika's comments together give a good picture. Just wish we had transcript of what they said since --

British Mail seems to be full of intelligent fools. All the more reason why Diwali stamp should be launched. It seems a strange way of honoring Indian immigrants - without honoring festivals of their majority community.

You did not see the analogy. Like Pope - is the PCG negotiating with GOI - and like Napolean is ULFA - which wants the appeal of PCG members to win public support for their coronation. Later to be discarded -- like Napolean tried to pressurize Pope to resign. What is the skill of ULFA
I do wish that Assamese NGO take up the task of raising children of imprisoned ULFA members. Prima -facie from the article it seems that Indian govt has granted special concession to allow the ULFA members to remain together .

I am very vocal about my doubt about the future of a sovereign Assam.
However, in my opinion,the most pragmatic solution to all these debates onsovereignity lie in GOI agreeing to a referrendum to determine the fate of Assam. Both pro and anti sovereign parties should try to convince the people

I think,
when one looks at the whole thing, this seems to be rather a positive and
creative thing that GOI is doing by allowing the children to live inside the
