great work:

NRAs are sending money, whatever they can, to some worthwhile projects in
Assam. The otherday, people in Houston raised funds for Parijat Academy and
Prjnalaya, two primary schools for the poor children in Assam. The other day
Assamese people of Los Angeles raised money to donate an Olympic standard Bow
String to the poor aspiring Assamese National level Archer Ms Ranjumoni Barua
who is making a living by selling vegetables. Many Assamese probably are too
busy enjoying part of those 15000 corers annual GOI free money to have time to
focus in such ground level projects.

According to published report, the Central govt is sending Rs 15000
crores of rupees to the North East every year. We would like to know where
Assam is spending these money, how much of these are going in corruption, and
how much more money Assam wants to develop its infra structure? Why Assam has
the highest corruption amongst all the states? NRAs have not yet seen such
money and NRAs donot want to add to the corruption level. Every MP receive
hundreds of crores rupees to spend in its constituency. Who is keeping track of
these? Why Assam is at the bottom of the economic ladder even amongst the
other states of the North East? Why people of Assam are not asking these
questions to their political leaders? We read of Kumar Bhaskar Barman sending
thousands of elephants to the king Harshabardhan as gift. Why Assam Tourism
today cannot even provide 10 elephants for Kaziranga tourism? Is it because of
lack of money or due to lack of management? Why people donot see
such reports in the Assam newspapers? These issues cannot be solved by small
amount of NRA money.

Yes, we would like to criticize whoever is responsible for the poor state of
affairs of our mother land.
Yes we would like to criticize when we see the Assamese leaders burying
theirs heads under the sand.
Yes we criticize because we love our mother land.

Subject: Re: [asom] Assamese Fears and Saviours
I am totally in agreement with Mrinalda Talukdar (Mrinalda)!
The NRAs have been criticising Assam and its system but how much money they
send beck home? Infrastructure in Assam is very poor and these rich men could
do a lot for its betterment. It's easy to criticise the bureaucrats or the
politicians holding them responsible for the poor state of affairs. Organising
seminars in Seattle or New York on the backwardsness of Assam is in no way
going to mend matters. The NRIs from states like Kerala and Punjab are doing a
lot for their natal states.
My point here is not to pull up the NRAs. They have established their
credentials by dint of hard work. They have big brains and a fat purse. But if
they can share a part of their money with the poor state of their origin it
will serve a great purpose. I hope they don't take it as personal attack on
them.
