Would like to extend my support to Shri Barada Sarma's proposal for a "special tribute" to Late Anima Chakravartty, an NRI, in Assam Convention 2007. In addition to NRI, I feel, if Assam Convention Host Committee includes people from Assam as well in this programme the program would highlight connection/solidarity with the people of Assam.
So I would like to extend the liberty to request the Assam Convention Host Committee Boston, Massachusetts to include names from Assam as well in the "special tribute" event and I would like to suggest a name "Bhabananda" to be included in the list. In brief Late Bhabananda Deka contributed to academia as well as socio-cultural development in Assam who retired as Principal (also authored the first Assamese text book on Economics) - Asam Prakashan Parishad award for a novel on his life. And in addition, he is a Vaisnav Scholar who composed Kirtan Ghosha hymns of Guru Sankaradeva to English language - this might add value to Asam Sahitya Sabha North America agenda in Assam Convention 2007.
