Alpana Baideo: Jokai is definitely an Assamese word. Jokai India Limited is in Tea business and owns many TEs. Though it is a Indian Company (In fact multi-national), it took Assamese name because of Tea and working in Assam. BTW, the company changed name to Russel Industries (India) Ltd about 12 years ago.

I thought it was an Assamese word, it is a bit surprising to see it as an Indian company. . BTW, we missed your name too. You always send us correct information about the Assamese words. Thank you and keep up the good work. --------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu Subject: RE: [Assam] Re: ref: my introduction Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 10:15:51 +0530 I want to add something in this regard ... 'Jokai' is a familiar name in Assam. If you go through the assamese newspapers regularly you will come across many places called 'Jokai' situated in different parts of Assam. I personally know a place called 'Jokai' ( including a village and a big reserve forest called 'Jokai reserve forest' ), which is around 10 Km away from Dibrugarh towards Burhidihing river. Every one must be knowing the company called 'Jokai India Limited' .
