Hi Kuldeep,
You're right. I agree with your idea of having a media focused on Assam.
Further, I feel that the way I responded sounds negative. I am sorry for
creating that confusion. In my e-mail exchange with Mr Muktikam, I realized
that I fail to express what I wanted to say.
Let me assert it yet again, What sounded negative to me was the notion, "Why
Bihar and Not Assam". Flood has hit both the states and Bihar flood got more
media attention then Assam, that's true. But One positive aspect of bringing
this to attention can be, " Ok, we understand what Bihar is going through 'coz
we too're suffering" This doesn't sound wrong. Additionally, This can go more
polite & in Gandhian way.
If a wound hurts us, it can hurt others as well, this sensitivity is gradually
disappearing and we all are busy nursing our own problem, without paying much
attention to what others might be going through.
When we show acceptance for all, we too get accepted, that's a universal rule.
and it does not require anyone to be MAHATMA for this.
I'll come back with more proper solution in line with your suggestions,
Regards,
Swati

I fail to understand why people think NEGATIVELY if we raise voice for Assam
for something.
I did not state that, flood did not create havoc in Bihar. It was indeed a
catastrophe.
And it is also true that Assam's Flood didn't get the proper media attention
(although the situation is more or less same as Bihar).
I only stated that, due to huge number of people in Hindi News channels are
from Bihar/UP origin the Bihar flood was highlighted strongly.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN THAT (I have no grudge for the said media persons..
they have done wonderful job for their place of origin!). Everybody has
right/tendency to love his place of origin more than others. Thats why we are
posting in assamonline and not Delhionline or Mumbaionline! Only a true
MAHATMTA can love the whole universe equally / without bias.
Thats why i stated that there should be a Media (Paper/News Channel) manned by
Assamese so that our plight is also highlighted. what is wrong in that?
IS IT NEGATIVE THINKING?
