Here:"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" - Chandan Mahanta (Dec 26, 2005)

Some other mai/baap super nation, UN Security Council , who ?
>Also if your above statement is true, the following Gwal Gali must be wrong and baseless:
*** Firstly there is NO connection between the two. Secondly, 'gual gaali' is abuse directed towards unnamed persons. I did NO such thing ( unleashing gual-gaali') , but pointed out YOUR ingratitude for my attempting to help you understand the issue by submitting to your inquisition. It is very disappointing to see that you, who has such a good command over the Oxomiya language otherwise, misusing the very fine phrase 'gual-gaali' here, and that too totally out of context.
