A young man had a dream that he would be able to provide quality education
to the poorest of the children. The principle of this school Mr. Theron Uttam
had started giving education to children under the roof of metal sheet and
between the walls of Bamboo in four rooms in year 2003. An Australian Mr.
Garvin Brown came to know about this effort. Mr. Brown organizes exhibitions on
world peace and Gandhis ideology in Australia. One day Mr. Garvin Brown had
told his friend Mr. Mic Enguj who was taxi driver about Assams village school.
At that time Mr. Mic had donated 1000 dollar without asking any questions.
This is a true and moving story. But how many of us know about these
inspiring persons. The national media of India are too busy highlighting the
extremists and violence of Assam and North eastern region. It seems Journalist
like Subir Bhowmick's finds extra pleasure to write a demeaning piece on the
region. How about writing some good stuff instead? Assam has more to offer then
ULFA
We need to mount a sustained, calculated campaign (but in a nice way) to
counter lopsided media
Dear Journalist friends of Assam, please come forward, visit rural Assam ,
come out with many such inspiring stories . The pen was, is and will always be
mightier than sword. This is high time that you use your pen to stand against
the biased national media.
Sincerely,
