O'Kamal Kai,
Apunar prosnotu xunilu, Sondon kair-pa. Moi nije oxom-jalot mas dhoribo
nurau aji-kali. Xei-gune amar dokhin-jokaisukore buli so-kai'e maje xomoye
ji pothai thake tar-pahe gom paun.
Anyway, Kukur-muta , the fabled neighbourhood of Guwahati, is an important
place name. There was a time its fame spread far and wide, at least that is
what I am inferring here. You may ask, how?
You know my adopted hometown,Dogpatch, Arkansas, is an important city, at
least in our own minds, nestled among the clouds high up in the rarified
environment of the High Ozarks.
How do you think this dog-forsaken place got to be christened Dogpatch to
begin with?
Somewhere in time , there must have been some canine incident that left a
mark on this piece of sacred ground high in the dizzying Ozarks. Thus
Dogpatch.
Now then what canine incident could leave a patch on ground, sacred or
otherwise? You guessed it.
And what is the etymology of Kukur-muta? Do I need to get into it Kamal-kai?
I mean it would be redundant, won't it?
Now then, putting two and two together, you can prove, beyond a reasonable
doubt, that names like Kukurmuta, or Dogpatch are universal in nature and
are used to mark territories, dog-like, for posterity. QED, aint it?
Now the gentrification of the name Kukurmuta, the fabled neighbourhood of
Guwahati, to Hedayetpur, is nothing less than a desecration of a historical
name in the guise of political correctness
perpetrated by neoVictorian mores of the burgeoning nuevo-middle class
imposing the shapeless, rootless, facile culture of a bloating urban sprawl
that has settled down on to the soulf of Guwahati.
So, this Memorial Day weekend, please do shed a quiet tear in the fond
memory of a departed nam! ! e,
! that once adorned this historical neighbourhood in the armpit of Guwahati,
marked by mosquito infested, sewage filled and water-hyacinth laden swamps
and railroad track garlanded, noisier than heck home to hordes of hapless
huseholders that will hang in twilight of a hoary past in the memories of
all those who passed thru Guwhati at a different time in its formative era.
Fondly,
Tilok Daktor
