BAN ON GAMWSA
IMPORT:
I have heard that there has been a ban on
import of GAMWSA from outside of Assam. Till I heard this news I did not know
that GAMWSA was being imnported from outide of Assam. Aparently the market of
Assam are being flooded with imported GAMWSA from outdide the
state.
But the above news on ban on the import
brings couple of interesting questions to the front.
If Assamese cultural items like
Gamwsa, Riha, Mekhela, Japi and others are being supplied from outside
of at a competitive rate to Assam, is it good or bad for Assam? Should
we ban on import for such items? Does it do any good for the Assamese
consumer or the Assamese culture?
My first impression is that if we can
import all our food grains, chicken eggs and Row fish from outside of
Assam, what is wrong in importing these cultural items. How long 'litikai'
Assamese will try to preserve its culture by banning the import of these
items from outsdide. Or is the right approach to preserve the culture?
I hope some netters will enlighten on the
news and comment.
