C'da, The Assam Press you are referring to includes soe of the very renowned figures of Assam like DN Bezbarua, Nirupama Borgohain et al. Over past few years we have learnt that School Teachers of Assam, Villagers of Assam (who lynched ULFA), Bureaucrats of Assam, Assam Police, AXX and now even Assam Press ----- all of them favor Desi Demokrasy over Independent Assam ..... enemies of Assam. If tomorrow Assam gets that elusive independence, how do you plan to run the Govt (i.e. if you plan to migrate back to Assam to help build it) with the entire population favoring Desi Demokrasy ? One option might be to go for a ethnic cleansing and import hoards of Bangladeshis to run it. Not sure if that is the plan :) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC _______________________________________________ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
