<Many institutions came after GU and and since surpassed it. What went wrong - State Control? The IIT-Guwahati estd. only the other day, on the other hand is doing great? Why? Central control? Why is Tezpur Univ. doing better than GU?.>


 Can we quantify any of the 3 reds?

My assessment is  these are CONTRARY & VOID.

Ram,

You  did not address most of the questions I raised.  Should we conclude that you did not address them because you could not :-)?

Anyway, let us examine what you responded to:

>First off, all I said was your solutions were "quasi" NOT Govt. Reforms.

*** From my rudimentary knowledge of Latin, 'quasi' means 'as-if', or implied.  What am I missing here?
What did I propose to earn the doubtful qualification of 'as-if' ?


> What they may be against is what is meant by "reforms" in some quarters:) To some, "reforms" could mean flushing the Indian >Constitution (System) totally 

*** A constitution is a document that enumerates the fundamental political principles of a state or an organization and which is constructed with the advice and consent of the state's or the organization's constituents.  It is a tool, and not an icon, to be set on a pedestal and worshipped as inviolate,  regardless of its usefulness to the people. And its sanctity is a function of how its provisions are upheld by the institutions of that state or the organization.

*** WHAT has the Indian constitution contributed, to earn the sanctity that you bestow to it?  Why should Assam be bound to the dysfunctional state of Indian governance sanctioned by its constitution? There may be elements to the Indian constitution which are useful or beneficial, but what is not, Assam , or anybody else, should not have to be beholden to.

>Essentially, if the intent to institute reforms is to make India stronger & better, then there would be a lot of support for such >moves.

*** Assam needs to look after Assam's interests first, NOT India's. Sure as heck India has not looked after Assam's interests for sixty years since independence. Has it? Can you show us how it has?

        *** What has it done about border protection--stem the tide of the lungi menace, your
        biggest concern as well as Hindu Siletis' and Oxomiya Bamuns' and Mahantas' ?
