The point I was trying to get across Chitta, is that there are
problems everywhere and with everything. But the difference between
winners and losers in this, is in those who have the creativity and
the imaginations to do things differently, to find solutions; and
those who choose to remain mired in their woes, because they cannot
even imagine changing things around to get over what they don't like.
There are plenty of people who are willing and able to change things
--- but they do not get the support of the intelligentsia who have
grown accustomed to an acceptable standard of life, if not
prosperity, thanks to governmental handouts and guaranteed employment
in return for little or no productivity.
One can't blame that on people. It is natural. But It is
UNSUSTAINABLE. It is demonstration of short term
protection of self-interests , with long term disaster looming just beyond.
Coming to Rs. 10,000 per person per annum imbroglio-may be some
non-Assamese corrupt >politicians like Raful Mahant, Carrot Narah
are siphoning the money. Otherwise where will it go? It is >just a
guess.
**** How come you are not leveraging it Chitta? What holds you back?
( Mind you I am not singling YOU out here -- you means all those who
share your view or are in your shoes in Assam). If you have been
unable to do so for decades past, how do you plan to do it in the
future? What has CHANGED to allow you to do so now, or in years to
come?
**** Corruption, does not matter whether Indian or Assamese, is not a
unremovable curse or inherited like one's caste. There are ways to
deal with it. Question is WHY doesn't that happen ? If you have the
courage to keep asking, digging, until you get the answers, you will
promptly come up with ways to deal with it.
But I have not seen such willingness to keep asking, digging, amongst
my peers, to go wherever it might lead them to. Because they are
terrified of facing truths they feel "helpless" about changing.
Take a good look at the article Dilip posted yesterday. It explains
things far better than I ever could have. And everything we are
witnessing in these exchanges are explained right there.

First thing is I am not a blind devotee of Desi D. We all know there
are lot of problems and adhocism. Like this latest release of a
minister from jail, arrest and then release of Dutt Saheb etc. But
yes still people like me will lean towards Desi D when you compare
it absolute cluelessness and chaos. Desi D is not an absolute item
of worshipping-not at all. But when one compares it with the
alternative-then this Desi D becomes 100 times more desirable.

The bigger question is how Assam is leveraging that Rs. 10,000 per
person per annum India is supposedly pouring into Assam and the
contiguous states?
Perhaps Chitta will explain. Who knows , he and his fellow devotees
of desi-demokrasy just might have some secret weapon.

Subject: Re: [Assam] About IMAGINATIONS
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.
DOES IT MEAN Assamese people are unimaginative ?
Or do we so easily cower down that we allow our imaginations to
be stifled by Indian rule?
On either accounts will it not be a disester or chaos if by some
magic Assam becomes what you want it to be?
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.
THAT IS YOUR VIEW POINT-but many may feel that moment you accept
that you can not prosper taking leverage of India's support
(however dysfunctional its Desi Demokrasy is), you are even more
DOOMED.
