Sikkim vanished as an independent state and became a part of Indian boundary proper. That's what.

An individual has the right to his own opinion. Only thing is he does not have the right to snatch other's life and property or freedom. Having said that, if someone has snatched his life or property, he may as well have the right to defend himself against such crime and give vent to his opinion. The only point to be discussed is whether in the context of a factual matrix a particular action can be termed as crime or not. Do we eulogise Bhagat Singh as a patriot or condemn him as a terrorist? Can we support a government action to dispossess a big chunk of population from their land and livelihood for the cause of big business and generation of paltry employment? Judgment on such contentious issues will depend upon the relative position and therefore, the outlook of the onlooker. A condemnation from a particular quarter that has a vested interest does not clinch an issue in one way or the other. Even if Mr. Bordoloi has posed as Ruby Bhuyan or for that matter anyone, it may be sedition from one point of view only, that of the present Indian State, but we should also be aware of the fact that boundaries of the states and countries keep on changing all over the world. There is nothing sacrosanct about these things in so far as history is concerned. Prior to the British there was Moghul empire, then British India, after that India and Pakistan, then Bangladesh, then vanishing trick done by Sikkim, all these are parts of history and therefore there can be no cut and dried principle to decide the culpability of a person's action in such a milieu. It is always contextual. My only point is whether Mr. Bordoloi or for that matter anyone posing as Ruby Bhuyan or whatever, committed any crime towards other human beings in the context of civilisation? umesh sharma wrote: C-da, I may not be sure of the crime but it does appear that the ULFA newsletter is written and published by Mr Bordoloi - who perhaps is the Ruby Bhuyan who is supposed to send it to AssamNet etc. Umesh Chan Mahanta wrote: I read and I was quite amused by desi-justice represented by whoever made the following statements: Investigators claimed to have detected documents in the sent folder - *** That must therefore be unimpeachable proof , right?

Arabinda Rajkhowa, or the Kolkata rag, or Kharkhowa police? was arrested last month on charges of helping Ulfa under the cover of being a mediator for peace.-- *** Wow! That must be an awful crime, since he would be unique. Or would he? Anyone who has half a workinbg brain should be able to figure that out. Or so I hope. The officer said there was also evidence of Bordoloi distributing Freedom, the Ulfa mouthpiece. *** Heh-heh-heh! This is hilarious. A senior police officer said investigators were almost sure that Bordoloi generated the incriminating documents. These were found in the sent folder and not in the inbox, implying that Bordoloi had been generating these documents. They did not come from Ulfa. No wonder these guys can never get a conviction on anything. Imagine 'almost sure ' as a proof presented in a court of law that is slightly higher in the scale than a kangaroo variety and get a conviction. Further more, WHAT crime would it be to 'forge' an Arabinda Rajkhowa document--since according to the 'almost sure' crowd they did not come from ULFA ? It will be interesting to find out, won't it? Burt I won't hold my breath. The officer said the police had built a strong case against Bordoloi, based on evidence and confessions by people he was associated with. *** Right! Those confessions must be very reliable. Like what earned a death sentence for that Kashmiri-- (what's his name?) allegedly for shooting up the Parliament building. Except that that world bore down on India, seeing what a travesty that was. I don' t see anyone clamoring for that speedy execution any more. Sources in the home department said more cases would be registered against Bordoloi to ensure that he remained in custody. *** Thats how desi-justice has always worked, hasn't it? Imprison those -- mete out out punishment--on the sly, since they can't get anyone convicted thru a system of ordinary justice.

[Assam] From ToI
*** Was it hard to foresee? cm Gurgaon in gloom, battling a power crisis 4 Mar 2008, 1802 hrs IST,Dipak Kumar Dash,TNN Print SaveEMail Write to Editor Gurgaon, the fading dream of a Millennium City, is battling a power crisis that has seen power cuts up to 12 hours in winter. And now with summer on us, there is a mad scramble for inverters and generators, an expensive proposition besides being unfriendly to the environment. Sixty-two-year-old Vijay Malhotra, a resident of DLF Phase-IV, says living in Gurgaon is a big drain on resources. We had to buy a generator just a week back - I invested Rs 3 lakh, he says. That's a huge investment besides the cost of operating it daily. Besides, I still pay a huge electricity bill. The crisis became so acute last year that my daughter-in-law had to shift to Delhi. I hold the government responsible. Most residents of Gurgaon had moved for a better quality of life. They now feel cheated. And what rankles most is the fact the crisis is entirely man-made. That's the grime below the glitter. Developers have been issued licences at random and even the severe power crunch has not deterred the government from mocking the people by clearing a master plan to enlarge Gurgaon to three times its present size. Most plans for setting up plants have a 2009-2010 deadline and hold little hope for those who are now cursing the day they moved to Gurgaon. There is going to be more growth without infrastructure till the city bloats to a point of collapse, people say. And officials are aware of this. They have thrown up their hands after pointing out that the demand for power in Gurgaon is increasing by 28% and availability is much less than requirement. The combined electricity requirement of Gurgaon and Faridabad is equivalent to the total power demand of Himachal Pradesh and meeting that demand is a huge task, says Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitaran Nigam (DHBVN) managing director Vijayendra Kumar. We are hopeful of getting at least 500 MW for entire Haryana in the next three months from the Yamuna Nagar plant. That additional supply will bring some relief to urban areas. The major cause of the crisis is non-availability of power. The present demand of Gurgaon is 1.2 crore units a day and we get only 75 lakh units, explains superintending engineer A K Jain of the Nigam. Additional supply from Yamuna Nagar should bring some relief. Haryana has about 4,068 MW of power available daily of which it generates only 1,587 MW. The state wants to generate an additional 5,000 MW daily by 2010 but that's three years away. In the first phase, a 300-MW capacity unit has become operational in Yamuna Nagar and a second unit of same capacity will be synchronised this month. How this power is distributed remains to be seen with many political and farm lobbies at work. About 1,200 MW will be made available from the Hissar thermal power plant. The first unit of 600 MW will be operational in December 2009 and the second in March 2010. The state will also get 750 MW from the upcoming 1500 MW Aravali plant in Jhajjar. The three units - each of 500 MW - are scheduled to be completed in April, June and August of 2010. So, there is no immediate relief in sight and all hopes for now are pinned on the supply from the Yamuna Nagar plant. Official estimates show that during non-peak hours Gurgaon's power demand is 450 MW while during peak hours it's about 550 MW. At any given time, the power supply falls short by at least 100 MW. In the neighbouring capital of Delhi, there are only two categories of power consumers - domestic and non-domestic (commercial and industrial). But in Gurgaon, there are three - agricultural, domestic and non-domestic. The agriculture sector consumes 20-25% of the power available, domestic consumers get a 40% share and non-domestic consumers another 40%. Consumers have learnt the hard way not to trust officials. We had a tough time even during the winter and then they had said that only winter rain could bring some relief. They will come up with some other excuse to pass the buck. Actually, they are clueless and don't know how to deal with the situation, says B S Tripathy, a resident of Sector-23. == ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org

[Assam] World's top college gets new dean - Harvard College
http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2008/03.06/99-hammonds.html unlike the Business School (which is rolling with Indians) - there are only two Indians who joined Harvard College in 2007 Fall. For most Indians Harvard College would be free - since there is need-based scholarship covering all expenses (for family income less than $45000 - 60,000 -- way over most Indian family incomes). Just get a score on SATI and SAT II higher than 2350 out of 2400 etc etc and be an all rounder. Umesh Hammonds named dean of Harvard College SUBHEAD By X Harvard News Office -- Cambridge, Mass.-March 4, 2008 - Evelynn Hammonds, the University's senior vice provost for Faculty Development and Diversity and the Barbara Gutmann Rosenkrantz Professor of the History of Science and of African and African American Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, has been appointed dean of Harvard College, effective June 1, 2008. I am very pleased that someone as thoughtful, talented, and skilled as Evelynn Hammonds will take on the leadership of Harvard College, said Michael D. Smith, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). During the search I heard repeatedly that it was important that the College dean exercise broad oversight of the undergraduate curriculum in addition to overseeing the College more broadly, and she will do this work superbly. She is an outstanding leader with a keen understanding of the changing and diverse needs of our undergraduates both inside and outside the classroom. She also recognizes the extraordinary talents and promise that these students possess. I look forward to working with her. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank David Pilbeam for his dedication to our undergraduates and his extraordinary commitment to this institution as he took on the role of dean of the College this year. David, as always, has provided strong leadership and wise guidance and, more than anyone, deserves our thanks for the smooth running of the College during a period of transition. I am very grateful to him for his service as dean and for his being willing to stay on through the end of this term, Smith said. I am honored to have this extraordinary opportunity to lead the College with its exceptional students at such an important period in its history, Hammonds said. I know that there are many challenges facing the College, and I am ready to tackle them with my colleagues' help. Thanks to the strong leadership of David Pilbeam, I know that there is a dedicated, hardworking staff in place eager to help the College reach its goals. I am excited to work with them and, most of all, to work with our wonderful students. Hammonds has a distinguished record of service to Harvard University. In her position as senior vice provost, she advises the provost and president on faculty appointments and supports the recruitment and advancement of minorities and women. She also advises the provost and president on issues related to the tenure process, reviews junior faculty and other term appointments, and oversees the administration of funds designated to facilitate appointments of outstanding scholars who also increase the diversity of our faculty. In 2005, she chaired the Task Force on Women Faculty. The senior vice provost's position was created in response to recommendations from that task force and the Task Force on Women in Science and Engineering, and in this capacity she was charged with implementing the recommendations of both task forces. A search for her successor in this position will begin promptly. I have come to know and greatly admire Evelynn Hammonds these past few years, as a fine scholar, as a strong institutional leader, and as someone who cares profoundly about the educational experience of our students in all its dimensions, said President Drew Faust. This is an exciting moment of change for the College, and Evelynn's academic values and leadership qualities promise to serve our undergraduates well. I want to thank her for all she has accomplished as our first senior vice provost, and at the same time to express my gratitude to David Pilbeam for his extraordinary continuing service to the College and the FAS. I am enormously grateful to Evelynn Hammonds, not only for the vital work that she has accomplished through the establishment of the Office of Faculty Development and Diversity, but for the exceptional vision, intelligence, and dedication she brings to all she does, said Provost Steven E. Hyman. Evelynn has been a galvanizing force in our efforts to build the faculty across the University, and her imaginative intellect and open, engaging manner will benefit undergraduate education and student life. She'll be a hard act to follow as senior vice provost, but we will begin the search for her successor soon. In addition to her experience and accomplishments as senior vice provost, Hammonds is
