Imagination has many meanings, depending on the context. And it does
not mean DAY DREAMING.
All great things ever done by man have always been sparked by the
imagination of a single human being.
Assam's despondency is rooted in an appalling lack of imaginative
ideas and creative drives, forever
under the shackles of even more unimaginative Indian rule.
The moment you accept this condition as given and an unchangeable
fact of life, you are doomed. Your thought processes cannot get out
of the self imposed prisons.
Result: An utter sense of helplessness, being reduced to an
intellectual damp rag.
BY IMAGINATION AGAIN did you mean dreaming about "taking control
of assam's resources" your >euphemism for the sovereignity and what
not?
Taking control of Assam's resources is ONLY one of the many parts
that Assam will have to gain control over to make a difference for
itself.
It could have been different, had Indian governance been able to show
otherwise. But sixty years is long enough to see the handwriting on
the wall--how ill equipped Indian intelligentsia is to resolve the
problems of a billion people. To depend on them, on their charity,
for Assam's prosperity and well being, is nothing less than living in
a fool's paradise, one of wishful thinking and daydreaming.

*** That is hardly a smart-alec answer as it was meant to be. In
reality it is an abject surrender to the status-quo. Cry about
things to no end, but unable and unwilling to exercise one's
imagination to find a better way.

Any way, be that as it may, it still leaves the question of intent
on the wailing about the lungi-menace wide open. I was hoping to get
a response to my question :
Knowing this reality, those who ceaselessly keep pointing at the
lungi-menace specter, but doing or seeking nothing to help MANAGE
the problem by taking steps that are realistic , achievable and
humane, do it because of WHAT Chitta?
MAHANTA DA by realistic, humane etc did you mean work permit and all
those things? Like most of the Assamese -yes I will keep poiting to
the influx problem knowing fully well we are helpless (both within
and outside India) to do anything about it. Can we get a glimpse of
realistic steps to manage the problem from you?
We are willing to believe for the time being that the Bangladeshis
will be identifying themselves as genuine BDesh citizen and will
clamor for the much coveted work permit (green card) to work 5
months in Assam and then go back willingly to BDesh

chitta
