There is nothing amusing about this mindless piece of tripe. Should our letter writer have had the desire or the wherewithal to inquire about the REASONS why everyone wants a state of his own, then he would not have had the reason to write this piece. Furthermore, HAD the editorial ranks of the rag had any clue about it themselves, they would not have found it worthy to publish it.
Last but not the least, I am terribly surprised that you Kamal, being one of the rare few amongst us who has the ability to analyze things enough and the integrity ( even if only every now and then), to acknowledge the real reasons for the state of affairs in India, found this piece worthy enough to circulate as something meaningful or noteworthy. cm On Aug 10, 2010, at 7:07 PM, kamal deka wrote: e > In response to ABSU's recent demand for a separate Bodoland,An > Assamese kharkhowa,inhabitant of Baksa district,wrote a letter > addressed to the PM demanding a separate state for himself.Read and > enjoy. > KJD > > > > Dear Mr Prime Minister, > > I am 30 years old, fat, educated and I want my own state.
