Thanks Diphu da for your resonse. However , I need to address the following as express by Shantikam Hazarika. I am also marking a copy to other email groups since it is an urgent topic. Quote - Isnt a pity Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had to lean on a SULFA for a mission destined to fail? This SULFA should be behind bars. Unquote
With reference to the above I must address the same since Imyself was involved in supporting a fellow Assamese who was also branded as“SULFA”. It was Jugal Bhuyan who after realizing the folly of insurgency , cameout and opened a school cum orphanage called Pragyalaya at a distant village inTitabar. In the year 2006, I read an article on him and moved by his sincerityand dedication , brought forth a proposal to AFNA to support his school.Understandably there were questions about his past. I myself had to enduresome. However, due to a relentless campaign through Pragyalaya website andYouTube video created by me and my wife, people began to embrace and eventuallyPragyalaya was one of the most successful projects supported both by AFNA andFASS. Over the last several years Scores of AFNA well-wishers visited theschool , it became a pilgrimage and second home to many Assamese non-residents.There had been recognitions from Assam Gove with the honorable chief visiting Pragyalaya.There was a Gandhi Peace walk where Garvin Brown from Australia led the marchfrom the school. For me , the most enduring moment was when I visited and met JugalBhuyan for the first time. Perhaps , he was getting recognition for the firsttime and late Bhuyan was overwhelmed. Iwill never forget that moment – which I can only express only through the poignantobservation by Sri Sri "In thisconflict, everyone should be considered as victims. And inside every culprit,there is a victim crying for help." The ex- ULFA members are making an effort - to be accepted and also to contribute tosociety. Like late Jugal Bhuyan there must be other members who are sincere andgenuine – as a fellow human being , we need to encourage and support sucheffort. The fabric of Assamese society is torn at the seams, due tothe decade long violence, mistrust and divisiveness. Any more intolerance,indifference and irrationality will completely and irreversibly break oursocial fabric. Assamese society is in a critical juncture, only the enduringmessage of peace, love and compassion can bring us back together and we have todecide whether to get serious or break up.

ONE CAN NOT UNDO THE PAST, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE HESITATE MOVING FORWARD WITH SOMETHING FOR GOOD NOW. So, also along with Ankur and many others, I am saluting, welcoming and thanking his Holiness SriSri for visitng Assam.
