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?
