Ram:
It was a response to a group that doesn't understand how Assam does
not fit into the picture. That is why the wannabes. I am sure left
them a bit bewildered--as I always do. They are good ol' friends, but
somewhat ignorant of India's conditions and Assam's role in it.
And my feeling of being left out is your effort at groping at straws.
The equation below is voodoo math :-).

It was also interesting (and am glad) to note that even you felt
Assamese was 'left out' from something as innoucous as this, and
that too out of 'India'. :)
But am a bit confused, it looks like, you are saying the more
Assamese you put in the mix, the more 'Indian' they turn out to be.

Two, make an ULFA battalion, ...and by inference, 4 are wanna-bees,
and 5 must be patriotic Indians :))

One Assamese is a Kharkhowa ( Khar is an alkaline fluid, created by
draining water thru ash from burnt , dried banana plant roots. It is
the primary fluid in a soupy dish, favorite with the Assamese.
Historically the dish provided much needed electrolytic balance to
the salt-starved , landlocked populace ).
Two Assamese makes an ULFA battalion. Three Assamese is a
Bangladeshi ousting vigilante group and four Assamese is an union of
wanna-be-Indians :-).
