INFACT THE VERY THOUGHTS YOU ARE EXPRESSING NOW WERE NURTURED IN AN INDIAN SCHOOL/COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY) *--it was my own effort. The exposure is all India gets credit for. I OWE India nothing. But I give back to Assam, the USA as well as India. How much or what or in what form is MY business. It has nothing to do with the substance ( or lack thereof) of the things I advocate or the arguments I make in assamnet or anywhere else.
