I am sorry.
I thought you had another set of
enlightened Assamese engineers in hiding to bring into force as soon as you get
the independence. If you are banking on kharkhwas like us, please better
rethink your plan. This is all we are.

Hi Rajen:
Reading you and Himen-da, two highly trained engineers, a couple of
Assam's best, coming up with the kind of STUFF you have been for ASSAMS's
'uddhar' ( Assam's redemption), I have to confess that Assam is in for a very
long time of
stumbling around in the fog, mired in very fuzzy logic.

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 a fascinating
subject. I don't denigrate it. But right this instance we have little
use for it in these discussions. "Jwre puri haat paalehi" -- time to do
something wouldn't you think?"
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. "Jwre puri haat paalehi" -- time to do something
wouldn't you think?
