The lawyers of India are a privileged class. Since the very beginning of British Raj till the present day, they have been able to maintain their position in society as political leaders, as ministers, judges etc. During the British Raj while they were professionals, a large number of them fought for Independence of India.(Gandhi, Jawaharlal, Patel, Bordoloi, Debeswar Sarmah etc) They are still there. The post-Independence lawyers do not seem to have a great cause to die for; they are I suppose now the beneficiaries of a free country. I do not think 26 years before sovereignty was an issue in Assam though Assamese people have been a discontent lot. Bhuban
