Dear Dr. Das
Thanks for highlighting the erroneous biography to coast guard. I think they
will amend based on your feedback. Also you have tried to bring it the notice
of the press in Assam. Hopefully , the description will be corrected. But I
think error may not be willful. It is really hard to find biographies or
information about Assamese personalities. Many outsiders dont know about our
famous luminaries as there are so few Assamese outside Assam to give them the
information. When late film director Satyajit Ray was chosen by Assam
government for Sankardev award, the maestro admitted that he did not know who
Sankardev was.
May be all of us in Assamnetters can do our bits to fill this gap. When
somebody googols Assam, the portal of Assam.org appears amongst the first few
hits. Those interested in Assam or Assamese may try to get into the Great
Assamese personalities list. It is a great list but it seems the list is not
getting much attention lately. It will be great to have the biographies or at
least short account of all the personalities. For those interested in Assamese
personalities, this site should provide good insight. May I suggest that the
webmasters take special interest to make this section more informative? And it
will be great if the knowledgeable Assam netters take some time off to populate
the biographies or life sketches of few luminaries each. It will be great if
prolific e-writer like Mahanta da diverts some of his attention to fill this
gap. I am sure there are many more members who can contribute. Shri JP Rajkhowa
(who I believe is a member) has chronicled Chilarais
life and times. Can we look to people like you Dr. Das, Mahanta da and
Rajkhowa deu and numerous others to help the custodian of the website fill this
gap?
A feedback of the custodians on this incomplete list would be appreciated.
Regards
Chittaranjan Pathak
