I am working as financial analyst and thus Economics is my subject. What I wrote was surely not meant to hurt you or anyone. I just laid one of the reason which is directly or indirectly responsible for pricing (of any product).
Whether you prefer to stop marriage portal or not, not anyone's concern. In an economy, any product has a market which has a demand. I agree about wedding freedom in Assamese tradition. Its truly unique, and I salute to it. In Bombay, when I speak about Broad-mindedness of Assamese culture, people sometimes cannot believe. May be because of economic backwardness (not of Assamese but Assam). Speaking about Hafta system, it hurts... and callingĀ it Indian tradition pinches more. While commenting what I meant was that in Assam the problem is more serious. Elsewhere, its only 1 or 2 miscreant group which demands to provide "Protection" , Even in Mumbai.. but in Assam, the groups've grown up like mushrooms and if a businessperson has to pay such "protection" money to so many hands, imagine his ways of making profits. Dear Dr Bikash, kindly do not misread me, like you, I too am a concern Assamese resident, I live in Mumbai but I always relate myself with Assam. On global map, Assam fits nowhere. I know its safe as I've lived there through-out my student life and I want to make people know that its safe, at least in my lifetime. Part of my family still lives in different parts of Assam. For a growing economy, growth in Business is must and I'll like to know how present Assamese residents and Government care about it. I agree that insurgency is a big problem there but still we can hope for something and try it out too. Why not? With a request not to be misread; Swati. --- On Thu, 26/6/08, DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [asom] Shaadi.com fraud in Guwahati To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 26 June, 2008, 9:02 PM Deat Swati- I dnt know much about you.But I prefer to stop the shadi.com system in Assam.KNow someone if want and marry- no assamese system banned marrying from any community since the history of Assam.May be Orkut could lead for best way.
