Rubi Bhuyan and her/his acolytes may be excused for having the intellect of bellicose bumpkin,but what about those kharkhowas,both native and overseas with king-size brain,who have failed to understand as to why sovereignty is not the panacea of all ills of Assam.Will Assam be led to an Utopian state only if Delhi stop being the barrier ? I have already explained that there are plenty of areas in which the Center simply can't and does not interfere with the state.The developmental pace in those areas can be matched with that of the snail's.That's why we have to set our house in order first before screaming for sovereignty.It simply does not make sense. If you cannot walk straight on a tarred road,why do you ask for a pair of special Nike shoes to walk up the hill ?
