Friends:
UNICODE to have a meeting next week to discuss the status of the Assamese
script. Please see the response I received from the Unicode. I have forwarded
two of my recently published articles as well as other published materials on
the subject.
My requested position is as follows:
Yes, Rabin Deka's pioneering efforts in creating and establishing the Assamese
font in Unicode is highly commendable. I learnt from the Ratne group that he
has been in continuous touch with Unicode.

Good for him.
However, the Assamese and Bengali fonts are the same both derived from the same
common root which I call the Kamrupi script in my article. It is like the Roman
script which is being used by many languages. This common script is already
there in the Unicode.
Till last
Right, he invented the wheel already and provided the fonts to Unicode years
ago.
Now the question (after they changed the name) is coming about how to name it.
We did vote for that, hopefully the Bengali speakers will agree with that.

How I wish that people will comprehend the difference between public and
private events and respect equal rights and stop playing political games!
