Subject: Re: [Assam] Assam is for
Assamese
Rajen:
I submitted far more than I should have to your inquisition. You,
as the one who brought Sumanta Chaliha's purported 'narrow nationalism' into
the picture and judged it bad for Assam.
I do not know what Sumanta's views are or what his Assam for Assamese
plan includes. Obviously you do. Under the circumstances, one would expect YOU
to make a case AGAINST Sumanta's, explaining YOUR reasons. But I am not
complaining. I try to help my friends who are not as articulate as they could
be, when I can.
It is however unfortunate to see that instead of appreciating my effort
at educating you, you threatened to 'attack' me, and then tried to devalue my
explanations and criticized my methods.
That is a real 'khai-paat-folaa' attitude, of biting the hand that feeds.
Hope you will take a New Year's resolution to overcome it in the future.
Take care.

you cannot answer, (and what it seems obvious to the netters) people
will understand, but you don't have to change the subject now to
independent Assam and bring old issues trying to show how bad a person I am
by showing what I wrote in the past and what I did not. This is
rather an old trick to camouflage your inability to address the
questions. Exactly like your inability to address the question how to
achieve independence of Assam from India, you are trying to take the same
escape route. Our present discussion on the issue was not based on an
independent Assam, and if you are thinking netters have a short memory, I
wish you luck. Even than you did not answer many questions which
directly pertains to independent Assam. So no Bengalis in your
independent Assam unless they become Assamese etc. No Bodos in independent
Assam they identify themselves as Assamese etc....
So
what do you say, let us close the chapter and put in in
archive?
