Not my intent here to come to others' defense. Dilip Deka, I am sure,
can defend his position well here. But my two bits below:

If you can not understand the importance
of having an AIIMS like medical college in the region, pl travel to
chennai/vellore sometime in III-sleeper/un-reserved compartment (it is

world),
**** Been there, done that.
But the question remains, unanswered and un-addressed,
about the wisdom of siphoning off limited PUBLIC resources or demanding
it; to reward a FEW. The few who may opt to become Babus, or leave for the
UK or the USA, and the rest become paper-pushing clerks rising up the
ladder of seniority, producing LITTLE. No doubt there would be
exceptions.But the exceptions contribute little to nation
building.
No one would deny that there is indeed a need for professionals in
society: Doctors, engineers etc. But it cannot be THE only need. Therefore
the limited PUBLIC resources MUST be allocated carefully, wisely -- to
produce what is needed MOST by society, for the greatest benefit to the
people.
you will understand why it is
important. (I had seen poor people dying in the train) And ask
some-one (should be from the region) in IITG, how it may help in
some way besides employment and prestige. (RB is right). >Emplyement and prestige!!!
**** Employment and prestige for a FEW at the cost of the general
public's good is NOT the state's business. If individuals seek that, let
them. Why should everyone have to sacrifice for the prestige or employment
of a few? The argument is a very simple-minded one at best. Immature
one.
But I understand where it comes from: From the same outlook that
accepts and
even defends a perverse system that robs the public of its resources
to re-distribute it to enrich a few, in an egregious display of reverse
Robinhood-ism.
Coming to museum, (even I am not
very sure how it will help people of assam in a big way), it will surely
help in saving some money for people like Mr.Deka who likes to
visit museum, at least for those who do not have enough and can not
afford to visit different states!!!
*** Indeed. And that is very thoughtful. But again, it is a matter of
prioritizing. What is MORE important for the greater good of the largest
sector of the population? Is a Museum of Science and Technology more
important for the state than childhood immunization for example?
>(it is easy to say something sitting in an a/c room than seeing
the real >world),
**** That is not a very bright argument. Means nothing. Just because
the argument comes from someone who is privileged, does not ever mean that
its merit is thus reduced, devalued.

Absolutely correct. How does installation of an IIT or
an AIIMS campus help Assam in solving the real problems? Why were
these included in AASU demands to start with?
I also keep hearing about demand for museums - oil
museum here, tea museum there. What will a museum bring to Assam,
except for a few non-productive jobs. Don't get me wrong, museums
are great and I visit them when I can. But what does a museum bring
to Assam at this time?

I lost Changmai's link.
Can you please forward to him and to assamnet -with
proper labelling etc?
mm
Changmai-new to the
net ?
He added a few points to
the exchange going on between Chan
&Partha.
- We had to sacrifice hundreds
to get IIT: WrongAASU did never fight and die for an IIT,a Gas
Cracker ,a Refinery,a CULTURE?complex .In a final midnight
document ALL these were there and they
signed!
Assam does not need IITs when hundreds of Engin! eering
Degree holders are produced each year and none have done any
Engineering YET.. And a few Assam Candidates are taken in by IIT
Gauhati out of some Guilt Complex.Bulk are from India-get
stamped and they are of no use to India certainly none for
Assam.
- Whole of NE needs an AIIMS
Class Med College : One is almost ready in Shillong. As
if 3 Existing Med Colleges are not bad enough- Elections are
near and Tarun announced 3 more Half-Med colleges to be ready
in a few
months!
I think you need better nutrition and health and
meaningful worknot hundreds of Nursing Homes, Diagnostic
Centers, Druggists with vast stocks of Strong Medicines and
AIIMS.
On Assam Front Changmai
is unhappy that:
1.
APSC results never get
announced and recruitments are defective-- .Actually you
should cry out against Government Babu Armies
2.
Pitying about the
hordes of boys and girls- robbing their parents of Their
Easy Moneys and enrolling in Delhi,Pune,South---into some
I.T or Computer or Advanced course and getting
LOST.
3.
14 Assam MPs sleeping
inside the parliament never venturing to utter a view,debate
any issue ,due to their inability to speak ANY language and
having no confidence in themselves
!
All in all we have no
choice le! ft but to Rebuild Assam as a Sovereign Unit and thus
Rebuild India. The time is Now! Not 2025 the year BY which Kalam
wants India to be a Super Power.
