I whole heartedly agree with you. This attitude proves that people in India are mostly living in various bubbles devoid of realities. How many NRAs speak or write Assamese here or in UK? Barua

Why would you hold the annual Sanmilan abroad? When Oxom Xahitya Xobha holds its annual Xonmilon in Oxom, it is accessible to thousands of interested locals and thousands do attend. What benefit would they get if the Xonmilon is held in USA that will be attended by a thousand people at the most? If the Marathis hold theirs In San Francisco, it will feel like an achievement to the Marathis in USA but it will deprive many in Maharashtra of the privilege of attending - for visa and financial reasons.

Hello everyone? This is my debut communication. It's a thought. Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sanmelan is proposed to be held in Sans Francisco Feb next year for the first time ever. The debate is raging on in Maharashtra currently with supporters and opposers. Why not ponder about a similar version of Assam Sahitya Sabha Adhiveshon abroad! Maybe Assamese community size in US cannot justify such an experiment in comparison to the Marathi strength. Still worth a thought. -- Chinmay Chakravarty, Mumbai. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
