" I definately (sic) would welcome a reform in the Governmental system. "
   -  I don't think there is anyone in the net who does not agree with the 
statement. Reform is needed not just for the inequity with the rest of India 
that is being discussed, but also for inequities within Assam - between rural 
and urban areas, between tribal and non-tribal areas, and between the haves and 
have-nots etc. etc.
   
  How do you bring about the reform? It will be a slow process. One that comes 
to mind right away - Make people aware of their rights as citizens through 
education and prepare them to participate in the reform by imparting proper 
education about the systems.
   
  My son went to Bangalore, India and did an internship with an organization 
called Janaagraha whose mission is to educate both the youth and adults on how 
democracy is supposed to function and how it has degenerated into clan system 
in India. I think Janaagraha is a good start and more of such effort is needed.

  *** Fair enough. That is far more than anything I ever achieved here :-): 
That Assam needs such comprehensive reforms.
  

  Now then, if you believe in Rajen's advice to engage in a productive 
discussion or debate, I hope you will share your own ideas about how you can 
imagine such reforms could be ushered in. But if you take all the others'  
ARGUMENTATIVE approach and only object obsessively to what I proposed with 
reasons, then it will serve no purpose.
