Subject: Grave error by the Hindusthan Times in their report about Assam Dear Mr. Kakati,
To resolve this quagmire, the Assamese people must own an "All-India" newspaper published from New Delhi, the Capital. Writing "Letter to the Editor" to the existing All-India papers will end up in the same frustration that you are going through. I urge the younger generation to foresake the negative whinings of the defeatists, adopt a strong positive outlook and go ahead to "establish" a permanent and widespread "All-India" newspaper with headquarters in Delhi to project a correct image of Assam at the level of all-India news of other parts of India. With warm greetings, Himendra -------------- Original message -------------- From: jadav kakoti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It was rather strange that Hindustan Times didn't carry any corrigendum about the grave error. I sent a letter to the Editor but there was no reply. This aptly describes how much importance national dailies attach to the region. Had it been with some other North Indian cities, story would have been totally different. Even nobody, except one, has reacted in this forum...

I was shocked to read about communal violence in Guwahati. The reporter can't commit this mistake...An error on the part of the desk people in Delhi where the paper is finalized..Have a look.. Jadav Kakoti Communal violence in 'Guwahati', toll hits 15 The army staged flag marches in Guwahati's Udalguri and Darrang districts on Saturday as the death toll in the communal violence between the immigrant settlers of Bangladeshi origin, mainly Muslims, and Bodo tribal members went up to 15. Eight bodies were recovered from Bhakatgaon and Sonaripara villages of Udalguri district on Saturday. http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=&id=c7bc099b-1b9b-473b-b113-1e27712b4eb6&&Headline=Communal+violence+toll+hits+15
