Respected Chandan da We are fine here by the grace of God. Completed 3 years at Jorhat. Your visit is still due.
Coming to the article, I am happy to learn that you have agreed to some extent with my views. You are absolutely right that there is an incongruity between the title of the article and its contents. Actually the idea of writing this article suddenly came to my mind while watching Dr Samujjal Bhatta on TV talking about the magnanimity of the Assamese, the need for having dominance of indigeneous people in Assam and the future course of action to ensure that. I agree with first two points and disagree with the means to ensure that. I wrote the article with the title "Oxomiyar Mohanubhobota, Khilonjiyar Ostittya aru Dr Samujjal Bhatta". But they have changed the title. Of course they did not edit anything in the main body of the article. That is why probably an avoidable confusion cropped up. My point are simple and to the point. 1. Our energy and efforts should be channelised for preventing further immigration. 2. The need for constitutional safeguard and seat reservation for the indigenous population. The percentage of reservation can be worked out realistically involving all communities, tribes etc. 3. Let us get inspired by our emotions initially, but not get swayed by it completely. Bye for now.

How are you and the family doing? Hope Jorhat has been good to you all. I read your article. I agree with some of your commentary. They are thoughtful and insightful. I am however not sure if you really tried hard enough to gauge WHY this issue not only does not get resolved ( which of course is impossible, if world history and recent ones at that is any guide), it does not even get a rudimentary bit of SINCERE attention that it deserves. Where I disagree completely is your conclusion, attested to by the title of the article, that it is the "Oxomiyar Mohanubhobota', where Mohanubhobota ( noble and humane attitudes) all of a sudden is something to be derided and denied, that is at the root of the inaction on alleviating the problem if not eradicating it. On that front I think you have done our people a disservice, by A: Pointing to a FALSE cause B: Attacking what should be promoted and always held in high esteem, that is traits like Mohanubhobota ( noble and humane attitudes). But instead, IF you had taken a no-holds-barred, no-sacred-cows look at the issues to point out WHERE the problems lie, then you would have provided an immense service. I like to think you are eminently able to do that. And I will look forward to a follow-up editorial, where you will tackle the REAL stumbling blocks which have PREVENTED any attainable, effective, and sustainable measure from being in implemented. c-da On Aug 13, 2010, at 6:20 AM, mayur bora wrote: > Dear Friends > > I request you to kindly go though my article (link given below) "Oxomiyar > mohanubhobota bonam Khilonjiyar Ostittor Prasna" published in editorial page > (Page 4) of Asimiya Khabar today i.e. 13 august 2010. > > I feel it is high time to look at the whole issue of illegal immigration from > Bangladesh in a ruthlessly realistic manner leaving aside emotional rhetoric > (which seems to be an inseparable companion of all our agitations so far) for > the sake of posterity. > > Kindly click on the link below and give your valuable inputs on the issue. > > > http://www.assamiyakhabor.com/news/4th.htm > > regards > > Mayur Bora > Jorhat > > Jorhat > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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
