May I suggest that those who could not sign the petition write letters to the editors of the different Assam news papers, weeklies etc giving their views on the issue. Not only from the NRAs , but also those from within Assam. Weeklies like Sadin, Asam Bani etc are quite popular. By overwhelming and deluging the media, I feel we may be able to achieve. It is not that every one is submerged in the hobo diok attitude, but the thing is how do you voice what you want to say. Take the case of Prantik or Dainik Asam, it is not understood why they refuse to take up the issue as if it does not exist. Also, not clear why Assam tribune and sentinel adopted the change in such a hurry, which must have even surprised the propogators of the change. The issues Rajen raises are very obvious and go without saying, but are not generally voiced in the open.
