Loved that one. But since the Assamese were left out, allow me to fill in:
One Assamese is a Kharkhowa ( Khar is an alkaline fluid, created by
draining water thru ash from burnt , dried banana plant roots. It is
the primary fluid in a soupy dish, favorite with the Assamese.
Historically the dish provided much needed electrolytic balance to
the salt-starved , landlocked populace ).
Two Assamese makes an ULFA battalion. Three Assamese is a Bangladeshi
ousting vigilante group and four Assamese is an union of
wanna-be-Indians :-).
