Some times ago I did sample some pages of the book at random, may be I can add my critics later.
But since Shantikam Hazarika hinted my questions through his writing, "Sometime we also try to 'intellectualise' the problem, as we see in the net people asking questions about "Bangla birth rate" etc." - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2771 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2771> I am writing to tell the difference between critical and intellectual. Sometimes questions are the easy way to learn quickly so I ask questions! All my questions in link http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2721 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2721> are critical questions, because correct answers may lead critical-turn to what Sanjoy Hazarika wrote about Birth Rates (of Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Indian states including Nagalend). While a problem may be critical but cannot turn intellectual! Problem is a problem that may harm if worst. But if one can highlight an art/method to solve a problem then the art/method may be called an intellectual art/method. One who can highlight such art/method may be called an Intellectual. I have asked the question, "What is the Birth Rate of Nagaland?" Because population growth may not always be tied up to Birth Rate, and Naga race is a rare bran of Mongoloid - not highly fertile due to the biogenetic recipes in their body. So if Sanjoy Hazarika does not make his source directly available and I too do not explore to find an answerer then I do not have a way to learn what causes the high population growth in Nagaland. In my view, Shantikam should explore what is "Library Research", as because this will tell more on questions critical-questions etc including intellectual development. As I wrote before, it is observed to be just opposite of what Sanjoy Hazarika wrote about Bangladesh India and Sri Lanka CBRs (CBR - Crude Birth Rate). In order to understand the discrepancies I need to know the source where he got the information - hoping the source is not his published book.
