Dear C da I have high regards for you notwithstanding our differences on many issues pertaining to Assam. What can be a better way of showing my respect to you than by quoting you from your earlier mail. This will incidentally act as my response to your latest post.
"You remain mired in your own sanctimony, choosing to be outraged when it is convenient to push a particular political view, while ignoring when inconvenient." Chandan Mahanta on 20/21 Jan 2005. May I add one comment ? You try to trivialise and romanticise the issues depending on their suitability to support your points. However I did not try to judge you as a person. My views have emerged after seeing some of your earlier mails over a period of several months. Looking forward to see more of your posts in future.
