After recceiving your e-mail I sent a short reply, then myself searched the
website for the latest official notification in this behalf. It
appears what M S Prabhakara has summed up in an article in
the Hindu following Government's proposal (on Feb 27, 2006)to change Assam into
Asom reflects the actual state of affairs.May be you've already read his long
article(http:www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl2311/stories/20060616001408200.htm):
"So, the tension continues between, on the one hand, nationalistic assertions seeking to distance the land and its people from India, perhaps even strive and attain sovereignty; and on the other hand, the reluctance by the intellectual establishment (which also feeds separatist ideologies) to accept any modification of an unwieldy and unnecessarily complicated alphabet where some of the letters are identified by numbers, not sounds, because these sounds are exactly alike." bhuban
