You got that right. The Shiva or
Ganesha image, and for that matter images of any other Hibdu gods, have the same
sacred quality as the Indian Constitution. If these can prevent someone taking a
leak against these, that is the greatest influence such images can have.
Small images are sufficient for small people where logic fails. Why do you say
it is a mistake?

While I understand and support your position, I think you made a really
big mistake in presenting it in terms of the sanctity of the Indian
Constitution, which is about as sacred as the picture of some Hindu god,
pasted on a wall in Guahati to discourage them from taking a leak against
it.

I
have a pending request to people who use the spelling ASOM, the request was
posted in the net before. I propose to post the request till I get a
response.
The
request is this:
Would the people who use the spelling ASOM would kindly clarify
whether they are using the word ASOM in place of the word ASSAM which is the
official name of our state in English as dictated by
the Constitution of India. The Assam State Govt has not changed this
name yet. If they are using ASOM in place of ASSAM, then I would say
that this is not legal, and would be a violation of the Constitution of
India.
On
the other hand if they are using the word ASOM for the Assamese word
OXOM, (with the guttural Assamese X sound) then I would say, that will be a
wrong usage since nobody in the world would pronounce the SO in ASOM as
Assamese Guttural 'kh' sound. That will be a mis representation of the
Assamese language, and in fact that will eventually kill the guttural 'kh'
sound from the Assamese word like it already killed this 'kh' sound in words
like 'Saikia', 'Sarma', 'Sibasagar' etc. And if no Indian
would pronounce the word OXOM correctly with the ASOM spelling, why
then we are trying to force everybody to pronounce OXOM by writing ASOM
without clarifying exactly what we are trying to do.and thus trying to kill
the Assamese sound in the Assamese word?
Would the ASOM -walas come forward from their closet respond
to my standing request please.
Or
is it a Assamese Hobo Diok type demand?
Sorry if I have spoiled somebody's mood, but I think we as Assamese
must know exactly what we are trying to do.

'Dichotomy'
in Dressing among 'Showpieces' in Asom Politics
It is disheartening to
see the sample of women entering the political scene in Asom. They happen
to climb the ladder of politics with the help of 'crutches' like their
influential husbands or even fathers-in-law. Unlike neighbouring Bengal or
distant Maharashtra, Asom doesn't have a Mamata Banerjee or Medha Patkar.
The state has only some 'butterflies' who love to roam about in 'designer'
costumes. The Dichotomy in their personality can be judged in the manner
of their dressing. When abroad, they lap up trousers made of jeans. Back
home, they attend political rallies in cotton or khadi
mekhela-sadors. Whereas be in the US or India, True Representatives of
People like Mamata Banerjees, Medha Patkars et al rock the world in their
cotton or khadi saris. This letter is not aimed at Eastern and Western
dresses. It is just meant to show the instability in 'psychological'
integrity and dressing dichotomy prevalent among the
oppurtunistic, affluent women making inroads into the political arena of
Asom.
