Dear Mukulda:   With due respect I beg to disagree:   Wish Need Get are three different steps.   You are talking only of the need which itself is for debate.   (Why do we want soverignty to feel like masters? What prevents us  from selling our products now? Assamese pasi-khorahi will sell for $8 a piece in Pier One in USA. These are available in $1.00 in Jorhat Chalk Bazar. Why Assamese youth cannot sell these even in Delhi. The Rajsthanis are making a $800 million dollar Handicraft export business with much less resources. Why we cannot grow bamboo and capture the world Chopstick and Toothpick and Floooring business? Why we cannot grow and export Orchid now? Why we cannot develop canned Pineapple business? Why we cannot have Fisheries and export Fish to India now? Why the Assamese cows are tilika? Why we cannot grow flowers in the Assam highways like the Gujaratis? Why Assam has to import Gamwsa and Pator Mekhela sador from India now? Why about 400 tea garden owners had to sell the gardens to Marwaris and others due to mis management?) And most importantly, why is the Assamese apathy towards Illegel Immigration or Brahmaputra Flood control or Assamese Language or any others problems of Assam?   Why do you think soverignty will help us to achieve any of these? For these we need hard working sincere workers.   And how about some plan for how to get the soverignty even if we want it? Where is the leadership to convince the people of Assam (1) that we need soverignty and (2) how to get it? So far we have not seen any.   These dirty Indians are not like the British that they will go because we need them to go.   RB ----- Original Message ----- From: mc mahant To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: assam@assamnet.org Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 8:44 AM Subject: [Assam] (no subject) >But GoI, predictably, has remained paralyzed for ever, unable to release the grip, while it bleeds."   Suppose you are right. So what do you do? Sovereignty for ASSAM: We want it NOW. Good for India to not delay one day more.   Why do you need?____      To feel like masters  again of our lands raped by British Merchants. To sell our products to world direct. To control our lifestyle the way we like. To welcome whom we want , go where we like to .To live within our means and not be a burden on anybody. To retrieve our lands from the depredation caused by the British usurpers and by India after 1947. We have nothing but ruined lands,rivers,resources, generations now . We need to act Now!   Why Can’t the Assamese patient a little longer---after all they are doing much better than others?        __India had ample time to do good . It is hopeless now –and India may collapse because of us.   What relation do you plan to keep with India ?__ Help India become a great nation which they deserve to be. As a Big Brother, as a source to buy from ,to sell to- in balanced trade. As THE Most Favoured Nation . Pipelines, Rail, Road ,Air,Post links exist already More can be built .   Who will save you in need? _ India is close for us to Ask for Help. Rest between us and God.   What will happen to Indians working in Assam Cadres?__Interchange is possible. Those who would like to stay on –why not? Similar examples are replete in  ex-USSR.   What will be the status of others living there?__As per world norms existing.If not-as humans.   What about Loans, Dues,  Assets, Pensions?­___ These are simple accounting problems. We have done our homework on what India owes us in Unpaid prices and compound interests payable.   And our Capital Investments in Assam?__ And Assam’s proportional shares in Those,in India and abroad? And quantification  of  compensations  for opportunities denied to our generations since 1947 ?   Can you be  /survive as a Viable Sovereign Nation and  economy?___ Churchill asked this of Gandhi and Nehru and Jinnah in 1941-2.  Help us wholeheartedly to be just that—willingly!   If  Sovereignty is allowed how will India gain?__Suddenly China, Myanmar, Bhutan ,Bangla will become India’s best friends,partners. The terrible waste presently going on –of guarding 2500 Kilometer of inhospitable borders  will vanish. This will be Assam’s Imagine the lightening of the defence burden. They can keep peace abroad or be a massive economic force like PLA for China.   But present Assam has no International boundary?_ In 1947 these were Assam’s All peripherals  will join us willingly. Do not even  try to hold on –finally these will go anyway.   But India needs the Hydro-power, the Uranium, the Oil/Gas, minerals, Timber.._We will give you many times more than you are being able to get now from Assam. See Enclo1. And as we will sell these on Rupee Acct,we will buy from India much ,much more than we can today. We will keep away from being a competitor . We will complement India’s economy and enrich it .**    That's what will work. mm   _______________________________________________ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
