I hereby offer my sincere gratitude (to Mr Deka) of myself and my fentire amily
for taking the intitiaves for including the name of my departed father in
SPECIAL TRIBUTE category in the forthcoming Assam Convention.
His initiative is special because otherwise nobody would have cared to include
my father's name, despite my repeated pleas. It is understandable. When
unconnected people speak about some individual and his contributions, that
makes more sense and inpress people, rather than when family memebers speak out.
If memory does not betray me, I never had the opportunity of knwoing Mr Deka
personally. However, I am in the dark if Mr Deka somehow happened to be ever
associated with my deaprted father or other family members. I would like to be
enlightened on this front.
Hope to see you Mr Deka some day either here in Guwahti or there ius San Jose.
In the meanwhile, I again thank him and wish prosperity and happiness to his
entire family.
May God bless you all !
Thanking you..
Yours sincerely,
Arnab Jan Deka

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.
