So who will be leading the parades this time? I hope you all won't put the old, the infirm and children in the front to bear the brunt of potential violence from your detractors. BTW, if only the 'patriotic' citizens will be celebrating, what will happen the unpatriotic? Are you folks going to tar and feather them and parade them as 'dexo-drwhis' ? That will serve them right, if you did. They would deserve it. Do tell us about all the festivities and share some of those lovely pictures like you did in previous years. But, please be discrete. That picture of north-Indian/west Indian children in Khaki and Saffron hoisting flags at Guwahati, from last year I think, makes it look as though there are no Assamese children in your fair city, willing to take part in the noble ceremonies. That won't be nice. Finally, I must congratulate you journalists who are leading the effort. It is killing two birds at one shot: Journalists manufacturing news and then reporting them, while promoting patriotism. Who could ask for more :-)? _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
