Hi Manoj I remember that incident very well. It is indeed poignant. I hope that little girl was somehow been able to pick up the pieces and carry on. The Athgaon incident and other such incidents in Assam have nothing to do with "liberation" but all to do with insurgents trying scare the common people into their ways.
If people took care to go into the histories of Cambodia, Laos or even Nigargua (Managua) - similar tactics were employed to cow down a population which basically wanted to be left alone. It is lucky, that India is a big country and insurgents, even after all these years, form the fringe. So, such a situation cannot develop in Assam. -- Ram da On 5/27/07, Manoj Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's sad that innocent people suffer in the all such cases. Our condolences to the sufferers. It could be anyone, and they have nothing to do with liberation, oppression or anything. Some years back an Assamese family lost 5 family members in Delhi's Saroniji Nagar bomb blast. Mr. Apurba Sarma of Nagaon, working in a bank came for a vacation with his sister-in-law's family. Mr. Sarma went to buy some sweets, and the other members were having 'aloo chaat', when the bomb ripped through. 5 of them were pulverised instantly, three badly burnt. We went to see his recuperating survivors at Safdarjung Hospital. His youngest daughter was in ICU and wanted to be with her mother. Mother and elder sister were no more, and who could break the news to her? It was heart rendering. Mr Sarma's life was devasted in a second's time. Just a second before that moment it was full of life and fun, a moment later it was all gone. -mkd On 5/27/07, Nayanjyoti Medhi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear C da, > I would like to invite you to Assam/Asom/axom (Athgaon, Fancy > Bazaar/Abroad the Brahmaputra Mail).
