Hello everyone,
Assamnet will move some time soon to a new home. The new home will be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Assamnet was founded in 1985 at the University of Pennsylvania. It has
been hosted at the University of Colorado from 1991. Luitporia-net was
started at the University of Missouri in 1990 by Dr. Dipankar Medhi.
Assamnet and Luitporianet became one in 1998. Since then it has been
hosted at the University of Colorado. We thank the University of
Pennsylvania, the University of Missouri and the University of Colorado
for having given us this opportunity to bring together the Assamese
diaspora from around the world.
The objective of Assamnet is to bring together people with interest in
all aspects of Assam, be it social, cultural, religious, educational,
political or anything at all, so that written discussions and debates
can take place without fear and censorship of any kind. In Assam
itself, it is very difficult openly to discuss many issues of vital
concern to Assam.
However, we have had issues in Assamnet in the past. Although this is
normal when a few hundred people constantly participate in spirited
discussions, we must exercise caution so that discussions and debates
can take place in a manner wherein widest participation is possible.
For example, a few years ago several people were removed from the list
for using unacceptable sexual language during discussions and debates.
In addition, Assamnet will not allow anyone to recruit people for
violent activities of any kind. However, peaceful and respectful
discussion of any topic is welcome.
We will send out an email when we make this transition to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] We are finishing up the details of the move and it
will take place soon. Once that happens, instead of sending email to
assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu, you will send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It
will be a new and befitting place to Assamnet after almost 15 years at
the University of Colorado.
Thank you!
Jugal Kalita (Colorado), Saurav Pathak (Pennsylvania) and Babul Gogoi
(Delhi)
Assamnet administrators
