Hi Ram:
Do you see this as some "good-stuff", gift of a
benevolent army :-)?
What appals me is the desi-blather about that 'liberal democracy'
in India, spouting from newspaper editorials, supposedly political
scientists' ( make that voo-doo political scientist) columns,
'screwity' ( you heard it hear first :-)) analysts and the like, not
to mention clueless luminaries of the kharkhowa establishment and at
the same time imploring the 'army' to preserve heir properties from
B'deshi immigrants.
Well, is there a rule of law in this Indian colony or not? Where
is the vaunted desi-demokrasy to protect the landholdings of
xotriya-gurus ( make that mahantas), obviously something they got from
the gods as divine gifts?
That brings me to another question: Is the revenue-free
landholdings off of which the Xotradhikars and their families lived,
some quite well ( others barely), as a reward for, no doubt, looking
after their 'xisyos'( disciples') spiritual redemption ( heh-heh:-)),
regardless of the performance on their duties; still a divine right
required to be upheld and safeguarded by the state, more than say an
ordinary mortals' property rights? And if the mere-mortals do not have
any such privilege, cannot invoke the army-gods' protection, how do
the xottros do, in this dysfunctional desi-sorkar?
You got any ideas Ram :-)?
c-da

The army helping Sattras? This is one news I didn't expect, given the often bad stuff we keep hearing about it.

Army help to Sattras
Sir,- The recent appeal of the Asom Sattra Mahasabha to the Army to remove the encroachers from the Sattras of Asom is quite timely and as such a rightful step. It is unfortunate that sites of the Sattras being the sacred centres of Vaishnavite religion and culture have now been occupied illegally by some people.
The Kobaikata Sattra in Nagaon and the Patekibori Sattra in Morigaon district are almost occupied and surrounded by doubtful foreigners but the government has been the passive on-looker without any step to evict the encroachers. If the government remains silent the Army should take action to evict the encroachers from the Sattras of Asom in the greater interest of protecting and preserving the great ancient heritage of the Vaishnavite religion propounded by Mahapurush Sri Sri Sankardeva and Madhabdeva. - Yours etc., MD. IDRISH ALI, Baligaon, Morigaon.
