O'Rajen:
Twmaleke Texasot bhori-diyei sidhai "
Texas public with their religion, organizations, social values, education
system, legal laws, civic values and everything that goes with
it?"
xuhi loisila neki he'?
( Did you guys -NRA/NRIs - absorb all of " Texas public with their religion, organizations, social values,
education system, legal laws, civic values and everything that goes with
it?", right after setting foot in Texas?)
The fallacy lies not in Kamal's proposition, but in your challenge.
Kamal's argument does not imply that a Texan system transplanted to Assam
would instantly turn a Guwahati into a Sugarland or a Kingwood ( the
former is a vast sprawling suburb of upper middle class professional/buisness
types, home to most of our kharkhowa , desi & Chinese immigrants and
natives, represented in the US Congress by the the Hammer, Tom Delay; Kingwood
is a lovely PLANNED city, a rarity in the USA, spectacular, home to at least
one kharkhowa netter.)
What it means is that desis, and even kharkhowas are smart enough to know
that if they didn't behave, the party would be over.
Example: Singapore.
Once the top dogs in India begin to get held to account for their actions
and inactions, the desi smartness would instantly become operational, just
like it does when they leave the old country. And soon those who have
valiantly been fighting would get the support they need to build on the
goodness that is already there.
Question is WHY don't the top dogs of India never held accountable? Why
have NONE, EVER, gone to prison, or get dismissed, or fined heavily or
whatever?
If you can explain that in a straight forward manner, then your challenge
might mean something, but not as presented above.
Think about it.

There hides
your fallacy!!. How in the world you came up with the above
conlclusion?
Or let us
say, you are right. What does it mean then?
If you are
trying to call it Ureka, it simply means that all you need in Assam is
to replace the Assam systems with the a Texas
systems. Now what does Texas systems really means? Does it
not include the Texas public with their religion, organizations, social
values, education system, legal laws, civic values and everything that
goes with it? Or you have something different in mind when you use the
words "Texas systems".
Or if my a
response seems too complicated, try asking yourself the million dollar
question.
Now that
you have found a Ureka for Assam or India ie Replace Assam systems with
Texas systems, what to do next or how to do it?.

CD,
It is really nice to learn that my response has alleviated
your discomfort!!! After all, of what measure is a mutual admiration
society,where regards are not exchanged on equal footing:)
Game aside,I agree with you in general.Allow me create a
scenario.Bulk of Assam Govt's employees are brought over to the USA to
work in one it's state,say for example,the state of Texas.Beyond all
questions,one would not perceive widespread petty corruption from the same
set of people,while working under the Texas systems.If individuals with
similar backgrounds appear to act differently within two different
systems,would it not be wise to examine the difference between the two
systems that may provide clues in understanding the difference in
perceived corruption in Assam and Texas ? By the way,the state of Assam is
used as an example only.
