Re: [Assam] [WaterWatch] Ram, Science and Religious Belief
Greetings Dr. G. We meet again in Waterwatch. I tried to understand what you are saying. But need more than a little help. Perhaps we need to go back to the issue in hand, and not dwell on religion, faith, rationalism, scientists, so-called scientists, rationalists, so-called rationalists, devotees, so-called progressives, secularism, pseudo-secularism and so forth. All these are semantic evasive tactics to obfuscate and avoid dealing with the real issue: The need to evaluate the wisdom of destroying the sea-bed features, RATIONALLY and deciding if it is good for not just India and ALL Indians, but all other peoples and creatures whose lives and livelihoods depend on the health of the bay/straits. Does not matter if the sea-bed features called Ramsethu, were naturally formed over millenia or Hanuman-led and monkey-brigade-built as commissioned by Lord Ram himself. The latter is a manufactured controversy by irrational people. And the scheme to destroy Ramsethu is a ploy by other irrational people to enrich a few at the cost of the many . That is what is all about, wouldn't you think? As a scientifically trained person ( pardon me if I am wrong, but so I presume), what would YOUR prescription be?

Indiresan, a former Director of IIT , Chennai, which can be seen below. I responded to it to the Indian Express. But if past experience is any guide, it won't be posted either in the Letter to the Editor section or in the Feedback forum. Since it deals with the Ramsethu issue, even though it was never mentioned by the author, I thought Water Watch members might find it relevant. cm Dr. Indiresan spent a lot of time pretending to be singing the praises of scientific pursuits of the truth and rational thinking. But really he bares in this article, filled with inane arguments , his own inability to reconcile rational thinking expected of a man of his stature as a technocrat and educationist, supposedly excelling in inculcating an ethos of learning with a critical and analytical approach required of technical/scientific studies, with irrational dogmas camouflaged as a defence of Hindu 'sentiments' from an unfair and/or selective challenges to the irrationalities of the faith's myriad myths. Dr. Indiresan is attempting to have it both ways, sporting the aura of a rational technocrat while spouting irrational arguments in defense of 'feelings' and 'sentiments'. Allow me to explain: The same holds good in the case of Ram too; there is no proof that he existed; neither is there any scientific proof that he did not exist. That is where #8216;rational#8217; scientists drift outside the scientific path. They make assertions about matters of faith, forgetting their own principles. They can say, at the most, there is no proof that Ram was a real person. They cannot proceed further and assert that Ram was not a real person. *** Fair enough. Rationalists cannot prove or assert Lord Ram was NOT a real person. But what does that have to do with the issue at hand: Whether Ram-sethu was built by Ram or his minions? Should the likes of Dr. Indiresan , no doubt someone endowed with wisdoms that shallow rationalists are deprived of , NOT pursue the question to its logical end? Or would it amount to attacking a soft-target, thus out of bounds for the wise rationalist? *** Furthermore, a rational scientist /technocrat would NOT stop at that. She would also dig deeper to look at the REAL issue: Whether destroying the geological features of the sea-bed referred to as the Ram-sethu in Indian folklore is a prudent thing to do, considering its many ramifications that could be examined scientifically.

Re: [Assam] [asom] Re: From Tarun Vijay of the Organiser: Tears on the NE!
It is always good to have statistics, hard data. In this case, the information about change in demography of Assam can be found in Census of India http://www.censusindia.net/ and with RTI, one can also get previous years data. Election Commission can provide information about change of demography among voters (which more or less goes the same way as the population). The facts can be also gauged by the election results of Assam Assembly. Now the question is: has the demography of Assam changed? For this answer, one should not hide behind statistics/hard data. And there is no mark for guessing the correct answer!

Any arguement to be meaningful has to be backed by hard facts and there will always be those who will doubt/question the veracity of any such claim.The time has come for setting aside emotions alone and taking a hard look at all available facts and data and conclusively prove that illegal migration is a major,major problem for the state/country and does not affect the assamese speaking population alone-the revealations in the hyderabad blasts is perhaps a pointer towards things to come.Problem is-who will bell the cat!

Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 21:44:13 -0700 (PDT) This is a good point! However the question is, what would you do even if there were such an official statistic. Statistics say many districts/subdivisi ons in Assam are now Muslim majority and predominantly Bengali speaking (eg. hojai, dhubri, karimganj etc.) - but that is hotly contested by many of our own Assamnet members from this forum. So there is no agreement even on certain very basic and visible facts.

Has any survey actually been done by the govt or any non-govt agency regarding the statement that many Bangladeshi- origin people in Assam who had earlier declared their mother-tongue to be Assamese have now declared their mother-tongue to be Bengali? Its important to have authentic statistical information on such vital issues if we really want to impress upon the powers that be s.r.baruah http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/assamonlin e/message/ 3577 __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (0) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Links | Database | Polls Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
