[Assam] Prove by publishing the PM letter that Sovereignty of Assam restoration included

2005-08-15 Thread Bartta Bistar 


Arrogant as ever

http://www.thestatesman.net/page.news.php?clid=3theme=usrsess=1id=86632

Ulfa seems mentally challenged Ulfa’s creed of violence acquires even more sinister meaning in the context of the Prime Minister’s acceptance of its demand for a discussion on the core issue of sovereignty. It is becoming increasingly clear that no amount of cajoling can placate the outfit and Assamese facilitator Mamoni Goswami may well have burnt her fingers in trying to at least bring the two sides to the negotiating table. If Ulfa chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa is sincere, he should recall his promise to be ready for talks, and in India, if 
Delhi agreed to discuss sovereignty. The latest killing of four persons and the damage to oil pipes are mounting evidence of Ulfa’s insincerity and arrogance. The sticking point now is the demand for the release of some Ulfa leaders. Rajkhowa should have included this demand in his formal letter to the Prime Minister. Piecemeal conditions are a mere dalliance and are suggestive of Ulfa leaders’ disregard for Assam’s future prosperity. They have realised soon enough that Delhi will never agree to sovereignty. Ulfa has more or 
less lost public support and sympathy. Republic Day — Ulfa Raising Day — in March and Independence Day come in handy for them to announce that they are still a force to reckon with. But if they do repeat the Dhemaji incident — where last year on 15 August they killed more than a dozen innocents, including some women and children — it could be the beginning of their end. The bomb that exploded at Guwahati on 26 January this year was not intended to kill but to make a mockery of the Assam chief minister’s claim of pressing into service more than 70,000 security men. Many will support the observations made by some Union officials that there should be no more peace overtures because Ulfa’s movement for “swadhin Asom” will die a natural death.

Re: [Assam] Assamese Get-Together 2006

2005-08-15 Thread Chan Mahanta 


Congratulations to Kharkhowa Californians ( KCs) for venturing to 
hold a  non-denominational, yet inclusive 'bor-xobaah' in 2006. As 
ex-Californians who have a lot of goodwill towards and attachments to 
the progressive attitudes of the folks in the Golden State, we sure 
hope to attend. And I hope the KCs will make every effort to bring 
everyone together, by doing its homework, to allay the fears of those 
who shy away from these non-denominational get-togethers for fear of 
losing their identities. But ultimately we like to think, that in 
spite of organizational IDs and prides that separate us, we are after 
all, kharkhowas and markhowas, sharing a common culture and old 
connections. Let us shed the lingering fears and mistrusts and  join 
the KCs to celebrate our collective

heritage.

Best wishes and good luck.

IMO,being able to celebrate any festival, especially the Independence Day without the fear of getting killed or maimedshould beone of themost importantcriteria of being able to consider oneself an independent person in an independent country. 
Are the people of Assam deprived from that? If so, who is depriving them from this minimum level of independence?

Girl stabbed to death at Mumbai's Gateway of IndiaA Correspondent | August 14, 2005 09:16 ISTA 22 year old Manipuri tourist was stabbed to death and her friend left in a critical incident, after a seemingly mentally deranged man attacked them with a knife at Mumbai's throbbing Gateway of India on Saturday evening.Leisha Choan and Ngakuim Raony, both from Manipur, were spending time at the Gateway feeding pigeons at around 6 pm when the youth, identified as Uzer Patel, pounced on them from behind and slit Leisha's throat with a knife. As a horrified Ngakuim tried to intervene, he slashed her on the forehead and walked away, holding the bloody weapon in his hand. As the incident happened in a jiffy, the crowd stayed behind, watching the horror unfold before them. Policemen on bandobast duty near the Taj Mahal Hotel then disarmed Patel and arrested him.The two victims were rushed to the nearby GT Hospital, where Leisha was declared dead on arr!

 while Ngakuim's condition is stated to be critical.Earlier in the day, Patel, an unemployed resident of Jogeshwari in the western suburbs, had stabbed his father repeatedly over a domestic quarrel. A few hours later, he struck again at the Gateway of India.The Colaba police said Patel appeared to be a in daze, and spoke incoherently like a madman. He will be taken for a mental checkup on Sunday, and produced before the holiday magistrate after that.Dex mathoeta dharona,thikonar xexxari...

Global Health Fellows are expected to produce research deliverables related to the content priorities of the Institute including: working papers, journal articles, and presentations for international conferences during their tenure at the Ellison Institute. In addition to the annual salary, Fellows will have access to a full range of university resources including benefits. 

Applicant Eligibility Requirements: 
An MD and/or a PhD in health economics, health services research, statistics, epidemiology, public health, or related field or equivalent experience is required.

[Assam] I - Day, AT editorial

2005-08-15 Thread Ram Sarangapani 
Some of the sentiments a number of us have been expressing.

__
I -Day violence
Calls by the insurgent outfits to boycott the Independence Day and
Republic Day has become the order of the day and this year is no
exception as four militant outfits of the north eastern region
including the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) have given a call
to boycott the Independence Day celebrations. The ULFA, in an apparent
move to deter the people of Assam from celebrating the day, even went
to the extent of claiming that it would attack the venues of the
Independence Day celebrations. But on the positive side, the number of
militant outfits giving calls for Independence Day celebrations is
coming down with every passing year with more and more militant
outfits coming forward for talks with the Government of India for
political solution of their problems and the possibility of the ULFA
being totally isolated in the days to come cannot be ruled out. Major
militant outfits of the North East region including both the factions
of the NSCN have been holding talks with the Government of India,
while, the ULFA lost another of its partner- National Democratic Front
of Boroland (NDFB) as the Bodo outfit has also signed a cease-fire
pact with the Government of India, which prevented the outfit from
giving any call to boycott the Independence Day celebrations.

The threat by the ULFA to attack the venues of the Independence Day
celebrations also exposed the fact that the frustration level of the
outfit is growing with every passing year. The ULFA can give boycott
calls, but the people of Assam have the right to decide whether to
attend the celebrations or not and no one has the right to use force
to compel anyone from attending any function. The gruesome killing of
13 women and children in Dhemaji during the Independence Day
celebrations last year is still fresh in the memory of the people of
Assam and the ULFA should remember the State-wide public outcry
against such kind of mindless killing before issuing any threat to the
people who decide to attend the Independence Day celebrations. The
ULFA should also realise the fact that any killing of innocent people
will further alienate the outfit from the masses and so they should
desist from targeting innocent people to achieve their goals. The
outfit should also realise that it would never be able to justify the
killing of any innocent person to achieve its goal.

The Police and other security agencies have made tight security
arrangements to foil any attempt by the militant outfit from causing
any disturbance, but no amount of security is adequate as the forces
cannot be expected to guard every inch of the land. The militants have
let loose a reign of terror in different parts of Assam with a series
of bomb explosions during the run up to the Independence Day and
instead of engaging the forces in encounters, the militants have
started to resort to explosions to make their presence felt. With the
availability of highly sophisticated explosive devices including the
programmable time devices with the militants, it is impossible to
detect bombs planted in vulnerable places with the equipment available
with the State Police and efforts should be made to procaure
sophisticated equipment to detect bombs planted by the militants under
the scheme to modernise the State police force. At the same time,
efforts should be made by the Government of India to bring the
militants to the negotiation table for a political solution to the
problem of insurgency, which haunted the State for more than two
decades and at the time, the militants should also respect the
sentiments of the people of Assam and come forward for talks with the
Government for an amicable solution of their problems. The people of
Assam are now fed up with violence and they want a peaceful solution
to the problem and both the Government and the ULFA should come
forward for talks without any pre-condition to bring an end to an era
of violence and loss of life of innocent people.

Re: [Assam] Sudan as rich as Suadi Arabia

And today I met a Sudanese Arab muslim economist right at my house. I showed him around the house. Might become my new roommate - a consultant to the World Bank. Spoke of how Indians and Indian movies are common in Sudan and oil interests leading to western power struggle in entire oil world. A lesson to Naga and Assam militants. However this article presents a religious angle as well:

http://www.blackpressinternational.com/html/archives/article_ema080804.htm






SUDAN: IS OIL THE DRIVING FACTOR FOR MILITARY INTERVENTION?
The Mask of Altruism May Be Disguising A Colonial War
"They are biased and have their own agenda. Sanctions will not harm the government, they will harm the people. Have they not learned this yet?" – Yasir Abdullah, Sudan journalist
Are there any blacks in America who have skepticism about the prospect of sending Western troops into Sudan to curb the situation in Darfur? Before African Americans jump to the forefront in encouraging former colonialists to engage military forces inside that sovereign state, BE AWARE: there are huge untapped reserves in both southern Sudan and southern Darfur. 
Oil was the spark for uprisings and the formation of armed opposition groups against the government in 1984. One of the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army’s (SPLA) first armed activities were targeted at workers of the Chevron oil company, which planned to construct an oil pipeline running from the oil fields of the South to refineries in the northern harbor of Port Sudan.
An upstream oil industry is key to the future of the economy of Sudan. Although the country is considered to be vastly under-explored, it has been a producer of oil and gas for a number of years. The struggle for control of Sudan’s vast oil reserves, mainly located in the contested south, became fierce after Sudan became an oil exporter in 1999. The country currently earns an estimated $2 billion a year from oil production of more than 250-thousand barrels per day. Experts believe that Sudan has upward of $45 billion in oil reserves and that output could increase to 450-thousand barrels, next year, provided the country can end the war and attract enough investment from major Western energy companies. 
So, the question African Americans should be asking is: “How to treat the humanitarian crisis in Sudan?” Because of the vast underground wealth of that country, black Americans ought to have a little skepticism regarding the circumstances of the US Congress’ move to declare “genocide” there. No one, not even the Sudanese government, questions that there is civil war in Darfur, or that it has caused an immense number of refugees. The government admits that nearly a million people have left for camps outside Darfur's main towns to escape marauding paramilitary groups. Thanks to the various wars going on in Sudan, and inside neighboring countries, the region is awash with guns and vendettas. Tensions have risen between nomads and herders, paramilitary groups!
 practice widespread highway robbery, and each tribe has its own private army.
But major media has taken this complex picture and projected on to it a simple morality tale of ethnic cleansing and genocide. They gloss over the fact that the Janjaweed militia come from the same ethnic group and religion as the people they are allegedly persecuting - everyone in Darfur is black, African, Arabic-speaking and Muslim. Campaigners for intervention accuse the Sudanese government of supporting the Janjaweed, without mentioning that the Sudanese defense minister has condemned them as "bandits,” and a Khartoum court recently sentenced six Janjaweed soldiers to horrible punishments, including amputation of their hands and legs. We should ask: Why don’t we hear about the rebel groups which the Janjaweed are fighting, or about any atrocities that they may have committed?
Moral Americans should have concern for needless deaths, but maybe we should be a little concerned about claims of the number of deaths - 30,000 or 50,000 are figures being bandied about. The Sudanese government says the death toll in Darfur, since the beginning of the conflict in 2003, is not greater than 1,200 on all sides. And, if humanitarian is our concern, why is such attention devoted to Sudan when, in neighboring Congo, the death rate from the war there is estimated to be some 2 or 3 million, a tragedy equaled only by the silence with which it is treated in America’s media?
Currently, we are being shown staged arrests

TIPS FOR TEACHERS
http://web.hamline.edu/graduate/graded/degreeprogram/mat/diversityresources/GED%207862%20Asian%20Indian%20Resource%20Guide.pdf
Here are some tips for teachers for creating positive learning environments with Asian Indian
students:
• Teachers must be familiar with Indian value systems
o Dating is believed to have no value and is against tradition
o Students may miss lots of peer valued school functions because of parental influences
o Sexual Education is not approved by parents
o Families are reluctant to seek professional assistance for psychological or emotional
problems.
• Teachers must keep daily communication with parents
o Parents are extremely concerned about education
o Parents use notes from school as motivation and reinforcement at home.
• Teachers must be aware of certain holidays.
o Students may be absent because of religious festivities.
o Teachers should offer alternatives for missed class.
• Teachers must be aware of racial ambiguity.
o It is difficult to categorize students by race because it varies in families.
o Self-instructed teaching modules on race composition and classification can help.
In closing, students are a teacher’s best resource and teachers are the models for the attitudes
and behaviors that are acceptable. When we include our students, model behavior, and talk
about stereotypes and barriers we break down tension and educate our students with facts they
need to be successful.

CKN or CKB would be fine too. But KC is short and easier on the

heavy weights, be it by hands or by our tongues?



Moreover,'Akhyabihin' would be the  better way to describe

Yes, that would have been more appropriate. Too bad though that I 
could never have thought up that word. Don't even vaguely recall ever 
coming across it. You know, back at Jokaisuk, we never ran into such 
literary words. So had to make do with simpler ones, and in this

militant outfits giving calls for Independence Day celebrations is
coming down with every passing year with more and more militant
outfits coming forward for talks with the Government of India for
political solution of their problems and the possibility of the
ULFA
being totally isolated in the days to come cannot be ruled out.
Major
militant outfits of the North East region including both the
factions
of the NSCN have been holding talks with the Government of India,
while, the ULFA lost another of its partner- National Democratic
Front
of Boroland (NDFB) as the Bodo outfit has also signed a cease-fire
pact with the Government of India, which prevented the outfit from
giving any call to boycott the Independence Day celebrations.

The threat by the ULFA to attack the venues of the Independence
Day
celebrations also exposed the fact that the frustration level of
the
outfit is growing with every passing year. The ULFA can give
boycott
calls, but the people of Assam have the right to decide whether to
attend the celebrations or not and no one has the right to use
force
to compel anyone from attending any function. The gruesome killing
of
13 women and children in Dhemaji during the Independence Day
celebrations last year is still fresh in the memory of the people
of
Assam and the ULFA should remember the State-wide public outcry
against such kind of mindless killing before issuing any threat to
the
people who decide to attend the Independence Day celebrations. The
ULFA should also realise the fact that any killing of innocent
people
will further alienate the outfit from the masses and so they
should
desist from targeting innocent people to achieve their goals. The
outfit should also realise that it would never be able to justify
the
killing of any innocent person to achieve its goal.

The Police and other security agencies have made tight security
arrangements to foil any attempt by the militant outfit from
causing
any disturbance, but no amount of security is adequate as the
forces
cannot be expected to guard every inch of the land. The militants
have
let loose a reign of terror in different parts of Assam with a
series
of bomb explosions during the run up to the Independence Day and
instead of engaging the forces in encounters, the militants have
started to resort to explosions to make their presence felt. With
the
availability of highly sophisticated explosive devices including
the
programmable time devices with the
militants, it is impossible to
detect bombs planted in vulnerable places with the equipment
available
with the State Police and efforts should be made to procaure
sophisticated equipment to detect bombs planted by the militants
under
the scheme to modernise the State police force. At the same time,
efforts should be made by the Government of India to bring the
militants to the negotiation table for a political solution to the
problem of insurgency, which haunted the State for more than two
decades and at the time, the militants should also respect the
sentiments of the people of Assam and come forward for talks with
the
Government for an amicable solution of their problems. The people
of
Assam are now fed up with violence and they want a peaceful
solution
to the problem and both the Government and the ULFA should come
forward for talks without any pre-condition to bring an end to an
era
of violence and loss of life of innocent people.

Dear Ahmed:
Congratulations for your announcement to hold the 2006 Assamese Get Together inCalifornia. From the name itself, it suggests it will be an independent Assamese Get Together without any organizational string. Frankly speaking, I still feel guilty onbehalf of the entire Assamese community the way some of usoutvoted you guysin 2003 in St Louis, and snatched the 2004 Assamese Get Together from the San Francisco youth. Now I am very glad to see that finally the sleeping Assamese elephant has decided to wake up to the occasion.I am sure it will be a funfilled,eventful and memorableGet Together to come. (Do you guys still have the local Bay Area Grand Husori Partywhich had earned its good nameas the number one in the USA and more?)I just want to say that youguys have myunqualified personal support and best of wishes for a successfu!
l Get
 Together. I hope all the khar-khwa orgs will join and support you and make it even better for all of us.

day. That is the sad reality. Independence? From Whom? From What?
From being told what to do -year after year -from being threatenedthat if they feel and thus celebrate their being independent, they would die.
So who is keeping the peoplefrom being independent? And what kind of independence are they being promised? - that youwill beindependentas long as you will do whatI tell youto do, or else!

Good to hear from you after a very long time Namita.


But I think you are looking at the issue thru a rather constricted aperture.
There is a whole lot more to it. Some of it you can see at:

and also for Democracy perhaps, but freedom waits.

You do not need ULFA to reject the festivities of Independence day. That is the sad reality. Independence? From Whom? From What?
