It is very common in Assam
politics for a person to flatly deny a statement in broad daylight. But I
thought you are above that.
Sorry my mistake in
judgment.
This is your writing. Chandan
NOT SUMANTA's. Don't try to back
off now.
This is YOUR Assam, NOT
SUMANTA's
Sumanta did not make those
statement.
Don't try to drag SUMANTA
into your statement.
See, heh

>But before I try to show the short coming of your
statement, I want you to note and confirm again that the following is your own statement which you believe, and not of Sumanta Chaliha
or somebody else and that you are simply trying to tabulate
to spice up the arguments for the sake of
arguments.
"Assam IS for the
Assamese -- those who BELONG to Assam. It is their homeland. It includes many
different ethnic groups. Ahoms, Bodos, Dimasas, Misings, Karbis-- etc.
etc.Assam is NOT the homeland for Biharis, not for Marwaris, not for B'deshis.
They can be guests there. And become Assamese in time thru a process of
assimilation. But they cannot REMAIN itinerant Marwaris and Biharis and
B'deshis but claim to be Assamese at the same time. That is the difference" -

The Devil does NOT make me do it. Did I create an impression otherwise?

*** Is that what YOU imagine as a result of Sumanta's plan? Or is that
what you imagine as an extension of MY explanation ? And is that the only
result you can imagine?
*** Just so it is clear Rajen, your concoction of this scenario is NOT
the only possible result for the indigenous Bengalis of Assam. If you insist
it is, then either your imaginations are rather stunted, or you are being very
disingenuous.
Take your pick.

If you cannot answer, (and what it seems obvious to the netters)
people will understand, but you don't have to change the subject now
to independent Assam and bring old issues trying to show how bad a person
I am by showing what I wrote in the past and what I did not.
This is rather an old trick to camouflage your inability to address
the questions. Exactly like your inability to address the question how to
achieve independence of Assam from India, you are trying to take the same
escape route. Our present discussion on the issue was not based on an
independent Assam, and if you are thinking netters have a short memory, I
wish you luck. Even than you did not answer many questions which
directly pertains to independent Assam. So no Bengalis in your
independent Assam unless they become Assamese etc. No Bodos in independent
Assam they identify themselves as Assamese etc....
So what do you say, let us close the chapter and put in in
archive?
