Friends,
Now the time has also came for review of Media like TV live,Newspapers and
the so called reporters which are mostly Bengale or Bihari operating from Assam
and the lone cameraman being Assamese origin.WE have encient newspapers like
what Late Radha gobinda Baruah established.However his expectations are no
more.The Assamese media or newspapers failed to make Assam a proud of
India.Instead we can easily see the infight to NRA or irritating them more by
these categories.Neiterh they lack behind the proper publishing languages or
skills.All are limited to make turmoil inside Assam and Axomiya in whole.Living
outside Assam, we fail to get the exact incidents or news.All we ned to depend
upon the so caled Bengal based reports or Delhi based reports given by the
Bengalee reporter.
Till now if any news to be given to any Assma so called leading
dailies/weekly/Fortnightlys, we have to mail by post.Nothing is availbale on
net or fast circulation outside the state.Why so the concerned news/media
management must look into.
I will give one simple example- Months ago I did protested strongly about
Swaheed Kanaklata issue against wrong misleading publication by Indian Coast
Guard.I did informed to Then Xabhapati Axom Xahitya Xabha Xabhapati Dr.Kanaksen
Deka.Nothing happened.Then I personally wrote to one of the known man at amar
Axom, it was published with heading on 08 Aug 2007.Later wrote with all
relevent letters to Prantik- what should be Dr Bhaben Saikia Sirs best
production.They took months and later my A4 size 5 page was converted to a
small para and published as a letter with no moral value!!! When I did caled up
to GHY ofice, I was only pleased with they get thousand of leters, so no time
to reply!!!This is what happens with Assam pride media.
Attacking us, we being outside singing for our home land is easy.Our fault is
Assamese.But its now time for our own media to wake up and look their own fault
and open voice with their strong thoughts.Please stop irritating us as what
ULFA cadres do!
I wish Assam based media coverages be fully with well versed people of Assam-
who know the root cause of anything.Not like AAjtak and NDTV to keep relaying
the whole nonsense clips to give more bad vision of Assam and its people every
day.
With RG Baruah pride, now Assam Tribune management must come up please with
good edition of web news and TV Channel.The so called ofice sitting TV
coverages must be prevented or be warned off any anti assamese relays.
Anyone ready??

Pradip Kumar Dutta is very fast in spreading canard.
The incident was a highly localised one. Only around Beltola tiniali to Dispur.
Curfew was declared only on that stretch not on the city. In fact only one
death has been announced, and that too in the hospital, so far. The clashes did
not spread to Khanapara area as stated. My elder brother who stays behind GNRC,
and my elder sister who stays on the road behind the MLA hostel did not feel
any thing at all though the happenings took place within a km of their
residence.
The whole thing is very very unfortunate. I am sure the AASA leaders never
thought it would go out of hand.
Also there has been maturity on part of the AASA leaders that they have not
talked about retaliation. Though the Telegraph sys that there would be a 36 hr
Assam bandh on Monday, no other paper says so.
It is no use blowing things out of proportion or indulge in blame game. The
spark has to be nipped in the bud. I am aware of many people who got injured
trying to prevent some people whose shops were vanadlised becoming vey violent
and bent on retaliation.
Everyone should reach out with balms of love and our century old tradition.
At our Institute, TCS was having interviews and till 2.00 pm we were not aware
of anything till there was a message from TCS Calcutta office asking the TCS
personnel to come back to Calcutta immediately because of riots in Guwahati. As
such they were catching the 4.30 flight from Guwahati and their interview had
finifhsed so they went to the airport by 2.15 pm. Then we found that the
national networks of the tv chnnels were cooking up stories sitting on their
studios and playing on the visuals being sent from Guwahati.
As an Guwahatian I am more angry at the media than ashamed of what has happened
here.
