I disagree with Mr Manoj completely about 'likhito' assamese from being any part of Assam. 'Likhto' assamese is a standard all across Assam and literature in assamese both from lower and upper assam were equally there throughout modern history. As regards to 'kothito' assamese, lower assam and upper assam slangs are quite different but both are far away from 'likhito' assamese ( I can give tons of examples ) - lower assam slangs are further away.
But, I completely agree with "we are facing now very serious problems from terrorism and demographic invasion. Being inactive and passive, we have become part of the problem, not of the solution." There is no point debating about any of our differences. We should even forget about personal fights and ego clashes completely to tackle the above menace. To ALL: Can we be completely united in this forum for being purely focused on curbing all these menace? Thanks in advance, Nabanjan ________________________________ From: Manoj Das <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 9:05:52 Subject: [asom] Kamrupi concern over Ahom innovation Hi all! I have been following this discussion. It is true that Kamrupi language (kothito) is being on the brink of extinction due to the invasion of typical upper Assamish written version (likhito). Rabin is trying to express is this fact in a crude manner. His language is uncouth and aggressive, which stinks of contempt. He is after all not a very bad person, only the presentation is not that savvy. Rabin did yeoman's job indeveloping Assamese fonts, one which I used for creating the main namemast of Srimanta Sankaradeva Bhawan at New Delhi. Devil must also get its due. As Ankur said, we are facing now very serious problems from terrorism and demographic invasion. Being inactive and passive, we have become part of the problem, not of the solution. Lets unite our energies to fight stark realities. Other things will come side by side. -mkd On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 10:47 AM, ankur baruah <ankur...@gmail. com> wrote: Hi all, I thought we all r assamese.... ..where kamrupi n ahom came from???
