>where do you stand with your contributions to the positive changes,

to see in Assam?
Shall I say, My life is my
words.
As a Buddhist, I think I am like
Dalai Lama.
What is the hurry for independence
of Tibet?
If not in this life, we will get it
in next life, or the next....
Why is this hurry, my
brother?
what matters is your
freedom....
what matters is your love of
learning ....
what matters is your love of
books...
what matters is your love of
arts...
what matters is your pursuit
of happiness ....
I think as an Assamese, normally I
am a prefect Hobo Diok type.
But sometimes I
feel like Upai Nai and would like to stand
tall...
In fact you may not see me, but I
think I am standing.
And from where I am standing now,
if you don't see me standing,
then I think I need to stand a bit
taller or take stool to stand on.
Thanks for the feed back in the
form of the question.

*** Why don't you answer the question related to the topic?
But it is not hard to tell why you would not.

Sorry for pulling something from recent past. But is not it exactly
this type thinking which lead to a world where books are not necessary at
all, where people have better things to do than to read a book of Philosophy
or a book of Religion and poetry for that matter. Is not this
type of thinking lead us to world where books may be controlled or
banned altogether and we may live in a world as depicted in the book (and
the film) "Fahrenheit 451"?
Is
that what will happen in your future Assam?
Our
present time is, if we think it over, inspite of the insurgency and
uncertainty, is actually not very different from the Assam of the time of
Sri Xong.kordew. He lived in an Assam when the Ahoms were in
power, his own son had been killed by the Ahom kings, he himself had to flee
to the Koch kingdom for his own life. He could have very well said like you
said:
"Philosophy is

But
thank God, Xong.kordew did not. At the threat of his own life
from many sides, Xong.kordew studied the Wthoro Purans of Hindus
and came out as a winner with the essence of Religion for Assam. We
are really glad that books and learning were not banned in his
times.
May
we wish that we will have a future not like "Fahrenheit 451" for Assam
but people will have full freedom to anything they
like ?

I am not seeking your predictions here Rajen. Regardless of
the prescience of amateur or even professional seers, they are at
best idle speculations.
Positive change can come only with participation and
involvement of those who know better. In that, my question is where do
you stand with your contributions to the positive changes, which I
gather even if only indirectly, that you too would like to see in
Assam?
And what would those changes be that you would like to
see? How do you see a process for such changes put in place and moved
forward?
Philosophy is a fascinating subject. I don't denigrate it.
But right this instance we have little use for it in these discussions.
