About 1982 or so, a distant uncle of mine, a very well respected country lawyer from Jorhat, asked me how to get hold of a constitution of an US state. I ran into a local state congressman in a party and asked him for one. He sent it to me, which I sent to my uncle, who has since passed away. He was one of those early advocates of asserting Assam's rights and was very well aware of what the Indian states lacked. He was working on drafting a model Assam constitution. I don't know if he ever got anything done on it. But I would look into it.

It makes sense for Assam to have a constitution, along the lines of the
states of the US.

   Subject: [Assam] Sixth Schedule of Indian Constitution


   Has anyone read the sixth schedule of Indian Constitution in detail? It
 looks like it talks about autonomy to tribal areas. Can the same concept
 be extended to a larger area? Will the contents of the sixth schedule
 work with some modification for a state for example?

   I am rambling, and that is because I found it hard to comprehend the
 details of the sixth schedule.
