In the meantime, selection of candidates for the course has started and
syllabus has also been prepared, said Prof Sandhya Goswami, the Head of the
Political Science Department, in a statement here.The course is expected to
foster research activities on the prevailing situation in the NE region,
besides opening up new avenues for employment by creating experts on the
subject. Dr Nanigopal Mahanta, a Reader of the department, who received higher
education in the area in the Barkley University, USA, will act as the
coordinator of the course.It needs mention here that peace studies could secure
recognition as an academic activity in 1959 even though scholars like Imanual
Kant and Frederick Nitze advocated the relevance of the academic importance of
peace much before.
Dear Netters.
Peace through M.A. ,Ph.D degrees? Very interesting proposition!
I thought you folk are all worked up.
How about a break.
Some friends at CR4- a worldwide Engineers’ blogsite composed this gem :
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable. Heidegger,
Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel. And Wittgenstein was a
beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teacha 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, On a half a pint of schandy was
particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away, Half a crate of whiskey
every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle. And Hobbes was fond of his
dram. And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, ``I drink, therefore I am.''
So?
Del The Cat strarted it all:
So, Rene Descarte goes up to the cash machine thinking...'shall I get ze 30 or
40 quid?'
What will he decide and why?
(This thread is complete lunacy based on a conversation I overheard! Hopefully
it will result in a 'humour' tag)

Enjoy .Relax. Let GOI give up. Best for the 1.1+Billion.

This should be very interesting. This is encourging, but it all depends upon
how it is structured. Whether the course emphasizes on conflict resolution
techniques or not will be the key. Hopefully, the course will focus on the
situation in Assam as a starting point, and try and find soultions that will
help Assam.
