People working in Chennai, Hyderabad or Pune are, I suppose, a privileged
group having the benefit of an English-medium-school education and landing
a job in one of the subsidiaries of multinationals. What about those who do
not come from well-to-do families, speak poor Hindi or English and unable
to get a job either in Government offices or private enterprise. I believe
most unemployed belong to this group.
It is also not easy for our young men and women to engage in small trades
for lack of tradition, training, capital etc. Certains trades need skills at
various levels, for instance watch repairing, book-binding, jewellery making
etc. It is almost imposssible for an Assamese boy coming from the rural
areas to acquire any of these skills. it is not so difficult for a Bengali
boy to get employment in these areas as some of their friends or relatives are
already engaged in some such trades.
