I have a comment on the genuineness of the ULFA letter. Supposedly the letter
is written and signed by Rubi (with an i) Bhuyan. Note how the writer's name is
spelt as "Ruby" (with a y) in the first paragraph of the letter. Are Ruby and
Rubi the same person? Rubi, the author of the letter does not how to spell
his/her name?
Anyway the main point is - how can the netters assume that they are actually
in communication with someone from ULFA and debating with the right people,
when in reality some impostor is having fun at the expense of the gullible
netters.
This net has seen such invasion from pseudonames and impostors in the past
and one can never be sure these days in the realm of electronic mail. Just a
word of caution before the thread becomes two miles long.

common ploy used by bullies and mafia to brow beat a vigilant citizen. Not
uncommon in urban Bihar or Mumbai's movie circles either.
It doesn't seem to be any different to me.

Mr Shantikam Hazarika, Your relevant mail has proven that, your real
intention is to destroy the National Liberation Struggle of Asom by attacking
Ruby Bhuyan of the ULFA like a rabid dog biting people on the street
indiscriminately. We thank you for revealing your design. We do not wish to
insult you by trying to make you knowledgeable how the modern communications
have made the world a small place. However, we are at a loss to make out why
are you unaware of the aim of the ULFA¢s past Twenty-Eight years of struggle in
Asom? Excepting a yokel, a person like you well versed in advanced technology,
should not have to come up with such a view. The debate in question was not
put forward in a manner of your requirement of ¡asked them in plain, straight
forward English¢. You are trying to throw blows in the air just to sweep this
deficiency under the carpet. We would like to remind you that the debate took
place as a result of Nayan Parasar criticizing impertinently
in the Asom On Line forum ¡the get well wish¢ statement of our Honourable
Chairman Arobinda Rajkhowa when Dr. Mamoni Goswami fell ill. Criticism of a
¡Get well wish¢ cannot be ¡Honest,gentle, civilized¢. But you approving his
subterfuge and attacking the ULFA with vindictive words have been noted in the
net. You may not be aware that about ten years ago Prof. Jugal Kalita
linking the ULFA website to the Assam Org site there was an objection raised by
one Supratik Gupta. Following this there was a long debate between Arun
Mahanta, a member of the ULFA¢s Central Publicity Group and Supratik Gupta. In
this debate, Supratik was given detailed replies with unambiguous views the
ULFA holds. Supratik Gupta was not satisfied with it, but, the ULFA was very
frank in giving out replies. He wished to know what his status would be in a
Sovereign Independent Assam to a person of Bangladesh origin. We must say that
Supratik Gupta behaved like a gentleman. On the other hand your good
man Nayan Parasar does not sound at all a gentleman, but a sycophant bent upon
keeping Asom under colonial occupation forever. We are analysing of the reasons
why should you be promoting the sycophancy of Parasar as something very
honourable. If you really want a useful discussion, you are welcome to come
forward in earnest. Do you think only your type are the ones who deserves
respect? You do not have to instigate any one to have a debate with us. In this
instant what has unfolded puts you in the same defiled platform as with Nayan
Parasr and Utpal Borpujari. Otherwise we could have a meaningful dignified
debate in the meantime. Instead of scornfulness and insulting, a simple request
on the query would have an appropriate approach. Now, in trying to prove the
mastery of English or lack of it, has pushed aside our willing to be engaged in
a meaningful discussion from the original debate. There is saying, ¡Faith is
all about belief and destructive criticism shakes such
beliefs¢ and a similar response by yourselves has ruined the possibility of
productive engagement in this instance. Why are you all trying to damage the
Mahanta brothers now? Rubi bhuyan central publicity member,ulfa
