[Assam] A Correction about Er M Mahanta

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:58:47 -0700

Mukul Mahanta , has studied many different fields of engineering, in addition to what he did his B.Tech, M.Tech and Post Grad studies in Britain--that was in Instrumentation. He also studied building sciences very extensively, and undertook the pre-fabrication of hollow concrete assemblies both for insulated and light-weight walls as well as floor slabs; all on his own.
What differentiates MM's engineering from most is his HANDS on involvement and the desire and ability to produce/build what he designs, so very critical in a developing society. 


I am the one trained as an architect and in private practice in the 
USA, I did not return to Assam  and had nothing to do with MM's 
enterprises and efforts.



MM not only built Parag Das' house but also was his collaborator in 
developing the intellectual basis and technical foundations for a 
sovereign Assam. While Prag Das was the public face, MM provided the 
research and the technical back-up.



MM also provided the technical expertise and pre-fabricated 
components for many  extremely low cost structures around the region.



A few of his very low cost but ergonomically perfect bamboo furniture 
can be seen at:

They can also be seen at many places all over Assam.

Very aptly put forth. In fact, I think Er M Mahanta introduced low 
cost hollow concrete structure houses in assam after coming back 
from USA.Late Shri Parag Das's residence is made with that tech.

I thought this net is a gentlemen's forum. During my stint with this 
'Assamnet' for the last 7/8 years, hardly I have found the use of 
such languages. Those who are in the technical field, having some 
links with Assam, know Sri Mukul Mahanta is regarded in the 
technical faternity. I have known him personally for atleast 2/3 
years. I have never seen a more practical Assamese Engineer like 
him. He is professionally a father figure in the engineering history 
of Assam. Political view points differ from person to person. Even 
if he is nobody, using such abusive language doesn't show one in 
good light.

Yesterday, Utpal borpujari told me about these two figures( cda amd 
Mda!). In my wild dream i never thought ULFA appointed such a ruscal 
as PCG member to negotiate future freedom of Assam.
after knowing their background, i am bit confused whether shoudl I 
further discuss over these topics. I decided why not I should invite 
them for a open meeting in any place in Delhi which is their desire 
with full security assurance to speak about their point of argument 
infromt of media, academician and other people.
If they agree to come I will arrange everything. Atleast I want to 
hear fools desire before coming to conclusion.

Let see  and wait how these figures response!

Why do people talk to this person SD as "kharkhowa". He is a "Dried 
fish Khowa"

Does it matter whether its good or bad? Why should a new dialect be 
bad? And yes, it is the language of the young crowd spoken by many 
across India.

I still don't get it though. Does it mean  'they say '?



BTW, what is 'munnabhai hindi', is it some kind of cool talk,
practised by the desi in-crowd ?

And is it good or bad for  Kharkhowas  speaking  like that? Does it
signify an upward mobility, fitting in with those who matter?

US BOLE TO...thats munnabhai hindi..you would have recognized it if
you were familiar with the fact that now many Assamese speak it too.
