Normally it should be possible to dig out old Q & A in Parliament, all it
requires is a bit of effort. I shall see if it can be done.
May I know what was the nature of the Question? Nehru always felt that Lohia /
Tyagi etc were always needling him and his replies used to be too blunt. Where
can I lay my hand on bapuki Tasvir? Where is its Assamese version?
Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repetations and there
cannot be better example than the people of Assam.

Shantikam's response will lead others to a positive direction.
Incidently, I missed the original "excerpts of the letters of the former
Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru published in" the Assam Tribune "on October
8 and 9" --- will it be possible to send this to me ? I'll be obliged if anyone
can send it to me.
With love to everybody,

PS: By the way Shantikam, since you liked my dramas, I must confide (and
confess) to you that I wrote the first drama in my life in 1951 after reading a
question-answer statement by Jawaharlal Nehru in the Parliament. Due to
inexperience of young age, I did not complete the drama at that time. After
eleven years, after reading another outburst of Nehru to a question by Ram
Manohar Lohia in 1962 on "PC Mohalnabis Repot", I completed that drama. The
revised English version of this drama "The Portrait of Mahatma Gandhi" was
translated as "bapuki tasvir" into Hindi and staged on January 2-6, 2003 at
Kamani Auditoriunm in New Delhi. Do you think someone will be able to dig up
the original 1951 question-answer statement by Jawaharlal Nehru in the
Parliament ? That will help me rewrite drama "The Portrait of Mahatma Gandhi"
and send it to the publishers.
We must learn from history. If we do not, it will repeat.
