Can we revert to this cause and ask Umesh to continue and go to the offensive thus: He should ask each Indian State to IMMEDIATELY build,advertize collectively worldwide at First world Campus magazines: "Graduating soon? If you expose yourself to a Different Hospitable world in an Indian Academia for 6 months ,you will be enriched and not be late to repay your Study loan. We will make your stay in any Indian Academy City most unforgettable. Be our guest-all inclusive. Just bring your brain. Take it back enriched. Leave behind a little bit of it into a thousand new Friends' " mm _______________________________________________ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
