A million dollar question has been asked
how one "escaped from the genetic curse to have turned out to be the
god's-gift-to-humanity they must be"
Well here may be a piece of the
pie:
There is a thinge called 'synergy'. In
case of the Assamese, we may call this to be the Assamese Lahe
Lahe Synergy or Hobo Diok Synergy. According to the famous Barua Hypothesis of
Assamese Hobo Diok Synergy, all Assamese in Assam are basically inside this fold
of Assamese synergy and all become more or less victims of this Lahe Lahe
or Hobo Diok syndrome. This does not mean that there cannot be
some 'free radicals' in Assam who are not happy with this synergy and who
complain and try their best to resist this force of synergy.
Many actually succeed to a great extent till their energy is exhausted
completely in the fight. Anyhow these Assamese are the so called
radical leaders.
Now, the question is how those who
escaped this lahe lahe or Hobo Diok syndrome and came outside this fold,
how did they do it? The following may be an answer:
Out of those free radicals who try to
resist this synergy and try to escape, some radical Assamese actually were
able to attain what may be called the escape velocity to get out of the
system. It is said that prominent Assamese like Chandan Mahanta
and others actually could get out of this Assamese lahe lahe/hobo diok
synergy only because they were not happy with the system and they
could attain this escape velocity by whatever means while their 'logorias' could
not and are still inside that fold of Assamese synergy. Once one is outside this
Assamese synergy, one can actually act or roam like a much more free radical
with abundant energy so much so that most of the time these outside free
radicals are puzzled why their 'logorias' are still suffering from this
syndrome. Many a time, these radicals try to return to their homeland only to
find that once inside this Assamese Synergy, they themselves loose most or all
their energy and again become a victims of the Assamese Lahe Lahe-Hobo Diok
Syndrome. At best they became some leaders with some lesser
enegry.
That I think is the mystery of the land of
Lahe Lahe.
Rajen!
