Hi all, Just a heads up for Brendan Koerner's book Now the Hell Will Start to be released on May 29th, 2008. The book is based on the true story of an American G.I. who got married to a Naga girl while working on the Ledo-Stilwell road. From Brendan's email: As you might recall, I went out there (Assam) to research a book--the non-fiction account of an American G.I. who married into a Naga tribe, circa 1944.

[Assam] Beware of thieves
One news item in Oxomiya Protidin caught my attention Cell Phone Stolen by Police ( http://www.asomiyapratidin.co.in/epaper/Web/Article/2007/11/01/010/01_11_2007_010_001.jpg). I immediately started looking for some familiar names there, but with no success. In 2006 August, when I was in Assam for my field work, my cell phone got stolen. The connection provider CELLONE told me to go to the Dispur Police station and file a complaint. A very authoritative SI with the last name Borah of Dispur police station gave me a long lecture on how callous we citizens are. He said, We have so many stuff to do, do you think we have time to run around trying to retrieve your cell phone. Of course had no expectations from the police department and filed the complaint just as a part of standard procedure of obtaining a replacement SIM card. Then this SI flips out two ultramodern cell phones from his pocket and tells me look I have two of them, each costs 25000 rupees, but they never get stolen. How can you be so careless that your 3000 rupees worth cellphone got stolen. I shrugged! That kept me thinking, how can an SI of police afford 5 rupees worth of cellphones? After reading the news in Protidin, I got an idea!! I told my aunt in Guwahati about the incident and she said that's nothing. She had a hill stolen. Couple of years ago she bought a piece of land near Khetri with a hillock. She planned to build a house on the hill top. One fine day she drove down her land to find that somebody stole her hillock! It was leveled to the ground and it seems somebody sold the dirt for landfilling! She had to resell the land 'dirt' cheap!! I know of another guy who had a pond in his property and one morning somebody stole all the water from the pond including the fish!!

Re: [Assam] US institute launches awareness programme - AT
Ramda, My friend Brent Bianchi served as a faculty at the Thailand campus of the University. I have no idea whether they are profit-motivated or not. However, I do know that in September 2006, when Brent and I were in Thailand after our visits to Assam, Brent tried to persuade the Webster University people to take up some awareness campaign in Assam. I have no idea if Brent's words have resulted in this, but if it did, I am really happy. best Priyankoo Dex matho eta dharona, thikonar xex xari... - Original Message From: Ram Sarangapani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ASSAMNET assam@assamnet.org Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 12:26:38 AM Subject: [Assam] US institute launches awareness programme - AT Is this school familiar to netters. help meritorious students from the region, preferably those under below poverty line (BPL) with financial aid to enable them to study in the Thailand-based campus of Webster University. -AT Hopefully, it is good as they say it is. --Ram _ By Our Correspondent GUWAHATI, Sept 24 – With an aim to expose students of the North East India to job-oriented education system of America, reputed America based institute Webster University has launched its maiden awareness programme throughout select schools of the region. The institute, which also has its campus in Thailand, is coming up with plans to help meritorious students from the region, preferably those under below poverty line (BPL) with financial aid to enable them to study in the Thailand-based campus of Webster University. In an exclusive interview with The Assam tribune, Sanjib Subba, executive director, Webster University informed that the institute has made an appeal to all the students to avail this opportunity by means of which they can fulfil their dream of studying abroad, that too in a prestigious institute like Webster University. I don't think any foreign institute has ever come up with any offer which talks about giving financial aid to meritorious students, especially in the North East India, Subba said. Any student from any part of the NE region can apply for this financial aid through the city wing of Global Reach, which is India's largest overseas education consultant company is associated with over than 200 institutes across the globe, he informed. I have found that most of the prestigious names in the world education system including the likes of Howard University looks for student from metros only and region like NE India do not fall under their scheme of things. That is why we have chosen NE because we know that talent is abundant here and the only hindrance is money, reiterated Subba. Webster University is not a profit-making institute. Instead, we look for reinvesting the money we generate from the institute in infrastructure building, he said. Of course, there would be some criteria which one would have to fulfil before getting the nod from the university. But, what is most impressive about the offer is that we have not restricted the number of students who can avail this offer. It can be one or even 10, Subba added. Subba, who was here in the city for over a week now, visited a good number of schools across the region and deliberated upon the nuances of studying under American education system. We want students from the NE to get acquainted with the American education system and explore the world from a different perspective, Subba added. Unlike the English education system, American education system believes in grading the students at different phases and not merely by annual examination system. We believe in all round development of students. Besides, we give flexibility to the students as far as their choice of subject is concerned, Subba asserted. Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life?

Re: [Assam] India-New York flight named after Assam -AT
Hi all, The bangkok-Ghy flight is still operational. I took it 2006 September. Earlier it was operated by Air India and now it is operated by Indian Airlines. Now a days the Ghy flight runs as Bangkok-Guwahati-Gaya flight. In 2007 January, I took a Bangkok- Calcutta (Jet Airways), Calcutta-Guwahati (Indigo Airlines) flight as the Bangkok-Ghy (Indian Airlines) was too expensive at that point of time. The Bangkok-Ghy flight aims for no publicity and hence nobody even in Assam knows if that flight is operational or not. If I am correct it runs on wednesdays now a days. If you go to www.asia.com and search for it, I am sure you will get more info.

It does not yet discuss why these girls sell themselves or why are people in Ghy so desperate to spend 2Rs. as tip to spend some time with these girls... Thank you The Sentinel, I now know you stooped too low for me to catch up with you. Pradip Kumar Datta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For Rs 3,000, girls are selling themselves in city bars Sex and our city Part I By our Staff Reporter GUWAHATI, July 26: Believe it or not, the capital city is fast becoming a crime city. With the city police stressing specifically on law and order and insurgency, petty crimes in Guwahati are on the rise. And now the bars are adding to it all. It is alleged that illegal activities are going on in these bars and on weekends, during parties, the bars almost become centres of flesh trade. In recent cases, one person was killed by his friend at Ganeshguri and one girl was badly roughed up by his boyfriend at Christian Basti. Out of 197 bars in Guwahati, the bars with permission to open till late night are 16. These late-night bars should be closed by 11.30 pm. But it is seen that most of the bars remain open till 1.30 or 2 am, thus defying the order. It is alleged that in these bars, police and excise departments take undue advantage. And to find out the truth, The Sentinel carried out a week-long investigation as to what might be going on inside the some of the lounge-bars. From 4.30 pm to 6 pm, many girls and aspiring models enter some of these bars. For this they do not have to pay any money. They are called entertainment girls. When The Sentinel team entered one of these bars and sat at one of the corners under dim light, the waiter took its order and left. Just near the counter, three girls were cracking jokes among themselves and trying to draw our attention. When the waiter came, one of the girls talked to him and passed a phone number for us. The name of the girl was Puja. (We have the mobile number but we are not disclosing it.) Later, she approached us, sat down near us, and asked: Do you like to make friendship? Every customer has one girl with him in these bars and girls are called entertainment girls. For sitting with someone for hours, they do not charge money but the person has to bear the expenses of their food and alcohol. Yes, you can give her tips also, if you want to have close relations with her! This is called sitting. One of the girls, Neha, told us she earns around Rs 20,000 per month from tips. The bars provide these entertainment girls to the customers and for this, the girls are paid a handsome amount. The Sentinel also came to know that on weekend parties hosted by these bars, the entry fee per person is from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000. But the girls in question do not have to pay any entry fee at all. And if one does not have any girlfriend with him, there is no need to worry, for he will get enough of them inside the bars to accompany him for hours together. One can even take them to any place. These call girls are basically from the city hostels located in Bhangagarh, Uzan Bazaar, Zoo Road etc. Most of these girls are from Lakhimpur, Jorhat and Dibrugarh. Talking to The Sentinel one of the call girls, Monika (name changed), said: We earn around Rs 1,000 per night for dancing with one customer and if they want us to provide entertainment, we earn around Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000. Whats the problem? We are enjoying and entertainment is a must for all. But how will you meet these girls? What does the police say? Why is there no frisking of customers at entry points in these bars? All these will be revealed in the next report. http://sentinelassam.com/ 27.07.07 - Choose the right car based on your needs.

Korean films are popular because they come the closest to Bollywoods action and drama flicks. They do have English subtitles for the local audience. Young Manipuris are now using snatches of Korean in their everyday lives. Dont be surprised if you hear them say Cho ah hey yo (I like it) or Kwen chah nah yo (Its okay). I love using such phrases because our elders wont know what Ive written, says 16-year-old Gary Th. Current Korean hits in Manipur include My Girl And I, You Are My Sunshine and Wolfs Temptation, while Korean TV shows on cookery, culture and music are also popular. DVDs of Korean films are smuggled in through the border town of Moreh. Dex matho eta dharona, thikonar xex xari... - Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!

Re: [Assam] mainland vs northeast in delhi
and why people from the NE region MUST assimilate to the mainstream culture? In case of Assam haven't we seen more than 90% of the non-Assamese population never trying to assimilate with the local culture? If there is a failure on part of the NE population in assimilating to the mainstream culture, may be the reason is the same as why the non- Assamese population in Assam never assimilated to the local culture/s. best Priyankoo Priyankoo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Assimilation is not the aim of the booklet.

Re: [Assam] �Bhut jolokia is world�s hottest chilli�
The answer is in the Assamese spelling of the stated chilli, i.e. bh't o kare bho and murdhonyo to #2477;#2507;#2463; which is not the same spelling as bhut #2477;#2498;#2468;. At least the concerned correspondents could have got a clue from the Assamese spelling of the stated jolokiya. Best Priyankoo kamal deka [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am a Tinsukian in every sense of the meaning and very well-conversant with the language,including local dialects.Could anyone explain to me why these chillies are stratified as bih jolokia,although they are certainly not poisonous? In my considered opinion,they are classified as bhoot jolokia perhaps because of this fact:---herou bih jolokia nekhabi,khale bhoot dekhi jabi bapeke.The name could very well be derived from the bhot tribe,but in day-to- day conversation,it appears to have a different connotation.Could it be possible that they are so- called in order to indicate the 'hotness' of these chillies rather than pointing towards the ' tribe' in question? It could be figurative rather than literal. BTW,these are also called ' kordoixira jolokia' and 'Noga jolokia' by some locals.But,in my view,these two varieties are a bit different from bhot/bhoot/bih jolokia.

[Assam] Two Assamese Talents
As an avid Orkut user I bump into many interesting people. In the last one year I bumped into the profiles of two really talented Assamese youths. Knowing about them, seeing their works still gives us a hope that all is not lost yet! The first person is Angshuman Borkakoty. His profile interested me as one of his favorite movies is Wong Kar Wai's 2046. I was thrilled to know that people in Assam have watched that movie. A series of communications followed in the following months. I came to know that Angshuman aspires to be a film maker. (avid bollywood goes can excuse us here). He had actually started making short movies which are available at You tube. I was thrilled to see his short movies, I was also thrilled to see his handling of sensitive subject matters (which again is very subjective). Angshuman's short movies can be watched at: Oppekkhat : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_vONxRoL0A Reverse Angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8g4kiyyklw Moi : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPJnAso5NYo The other person I met at Orkut is a music maker. Dhritiman Deori is a singer,composer,programmer,audio engineer. He is trained in Indian classical vocals at the age of 10 and then received formal training in Keyboards and the guitar. I was stunned when I heard his Powa-Nopowa...a great voice, great mixing...and he lets me know that Powa Nopowa was recorded in his bedroom!! You can visit Dhriti's myspace profile and listen to his songs: http://www.myspace.com/dhriti Usually I dont care about comments on my posts, but this time I would really like to hear from you all-if you liked these two young people from Assam weaving dreams in their own ways!!

OUR CORRESPONDENT
Barbora speaks at the media conference in Shillong. Picture by Eastern
Projections
Shillong, April 2: The indifference of successive governments and
disillusionment with the hypocritical conduct of seniors have forced a large
number of officers from the Northeast to quit the services.
That was Air Marshal P.K. Barboras first observation after he assumed charge
as air officer commanding-in-chief of the Eastern Air Command.
Addressing a news conference in Shillong, Barbora said several efficient young
officers of the Northeast were leaving the services because they were highly
sentimental and could not cope with the hypocritical attitude of their
seniors.
The indifferent attitude of the earlier governments towards the Northeast,
coupled with a feeling of alienation, have led the defence forces to a
situation where it has a negligible number of personnel from the Northeast.
Earlier governments tried to use the same yardstick for all problems in the
region and that led to chaos, he said, adding that the situation was changing
gradually.
Barbora was born in Shillong and also did his schooling here. He was
commissioned as a fighter pilot and fought the 1971 war for liberation of
Bangladesh.
He succeeds F.H. Major, who has gone on to become the Air Chief Marshal, and
is the first officer of the Air Force from Shillong and the Northeast to become
air marshal. The rank is equivalent to that of a three-star army general.
The officer said modernisation of airfields like the one at Tezpur in Assam
was on his list of priorities, as was the implementation of the Force
Multipliers Programme. Sophisticated missiles are to be added to the IAFs
arsenal under this programme

Re: [Assam] La Air Marshal Assamese in the forces
It may provide enough excitement for some to jump up and down to know that Paresh Baruah's own brother works in Dinjan Air Base or MES or something. Please don't threaten to sue me (I am still a poor student), or accuse me of spreading misinformation as I heard this when I was growing up in Tinsukia. Authenticity still needs to be confirmed.

I have not heard any one's family being harassed by ULFA and it is indeed very difficult for a military person to hide his identity. The thing is this type of news can be 'manufactured' by just sitting in one's desk and put on one's imagining caps. *** Here I agree wholeheartedly. This whole picture of Assam being under the ULFA's dictats day-in-and-day-out, is one that has been manufactured by lazy and/or malicious Indians ( often assisted by equally malicious Oxomyas) with little incentive to do serious journalistic reporting. Shantikam Hazarika On 4/4/07, umesh sharma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: quite a revelation. On the other hand, national media earlier reported that due to fear of ULFA those Assamese serving in armed forces in Kashmir etc tell neighbors etc that they work in banks as officers/clerks - so that their family may not be harrassed. Umesh Saikia, Hrishikesh IN BLR SISL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Air Marshal spills beans on 'hypocrisy' OUR CORRESPONDENT Barbora speaks at the media conference in Shillong. Picture by Eastern Projections Shillong, April 2: The indifference of successive governments and disillusionment with the hypocritical conduct of seniors have forced a large number of officers from the Northeast to quit the services. That was Air Marshal P.K. Barbora's first observation after he assumed charge as air officer commanding-in-chief of the Eastern Air Command. Addressing a news conference in Shillong, Barbora said several efficient young officers of the Northeast were leaving the services because they were highly sentimental and could not cope with the hypocritical attitude of their seniors. The indifferent attitude of the earlier governments towards the Northeast, coupled with a feeling of alienation, have led the defence forces to a situation where it has a negligible number of personnel from the Northeast. Earlier governments tried to use the same yardstick for all problems in the region and that led to chaos, he said, adding that the situation was changing gradually. - ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org Dex matho eta dharona, thikonar xex xari... - Heres a new way to find what you're looking for - Yahoo!

Through the jongole I am went
On shooting Tiger I am bent
Bashtaard Tiger has eaten my wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling's life
Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beeches
Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool's heart
Taking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight
Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native town
Then through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self - Bannerjee be brave
I am now proceeding with too much care
From far I smell this Tiger's lair
My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other day
Turning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee
He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
I run shouting Kali Ma tumi kothay gele
Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer looming
I am telling that never in life
I will risk again for my damn wife

Re: [Assam] Army firing in Kakopathar -politics, lynching Sonia Gandhi, army
Umesh read down the same article you sent me. you will find: However, according to some other sources, firing was ordered instantly and without any provocation. Some organizations that visited Kakopathar today alleged that the incident could have been averted if proper measures were taken in time. As per Dr Arun Sharma, the local MP the State Government is fully responsible for the incident in which innocent people were killed by the security personnel. The State government, according to him, should have pacified the people who resorted to road blockade in protest of killing of innocent villager Ajit Mahanta in Army custody. The present government had also allowed the Army to continue the torture of innocent villagers in the name of counter insurgency. Sri Pradyut Bordoloi who came to visit Kakopathar and the Dirak area, which falls under his constituency, said that the incident was most unfortunate. blah blah blah blah On Sun, 12 Feb 2006 umesh sharma wrote : Priyankoo-da, I agree killing of Ajit Mahanta was wrong but why did they not protest non violently only. As in the account given by Assam Tribune : http://www.mail-archive.com/assam%40assamnet.org/msg03800.html some of the instigators -from behind-- pushed people towards the police and lynched a couple of CRPF soldiers in their midst who had tried to pacify the mob. Killing one of the sodires while others escaped. The politicinas killed the soldiers from the back of the mob - while pushing others forward to face the bullets by police in retailiation. Haven't we seen it elsewhere. The politicians push people from the back -to set fire to themselves etc - while the backbenchers reap politicial mileage. A couple of years back in a student rally at Jaipur one of the college students set fire to himself. Later he recovered but said that someone else has poured petrol on him and set fire to him -- one of the student leaders -who sought political mileage out of the event. It was certainly wrong for GOA not to take adequate measures to pacify the local people on Ajit Mahanta's death --causing 20,000 people (as per national media) who later had gathered. It was very stupid of Sonia Gandhi to use that very day as the day to lauch a political campaign in the state. She promoted the image the national govt is only interested in politics and not in people's welfare . Instead of launching the elkection campaign she should have visted the area to pacify the people and avoid such largescale protests . Just my views. Umesh PS: Indian army is very uncouth is common knowledge. Even at Delhi train station the soldiers to frontlines regulalrly bully train drivers and passengers -to delay trains and declare whole (unreserved) bogies as only for army -throwing out poor passengers - I have been out myself many a times. Further, in Rajasthan desert also the India soldiers - on Indo-Pak border while in lined up for years - following the Terrorist attack on Indian Parliament of Dec 2002 -- they beat up many villagers and took away food items and goats for their own use.

[Assam] Compassionate?! army and democracy
Nobody really cares if an army jawan was killed or how many are killed. It doesn't matter if he was NOT the one involved in the killing of Mahanta. All that matters is that he is in the Indian army. It was his own damn fault for joining the Indian army and getting imbroiled in the mess. Exactly! Ramda! The Indian Army also does not care about who they killed or not. It does not matter to them if the people in the demonstration were involved in any killing or not. All that matters is that the people are Assamese...gotike mar kukur mekurir dore guliyay...be in Kokrajhar train station or Kamakhya...It is their own damn fault that they are born Assamese... And it does not matter whether the regiment is Gorkha, or Assam or Jath, or whatever fancy names they have. The point is that the triggers are not drawn by the brain behind the gun, they simply follow orders. Otherwise Assam Police had not been the first to open fire, which intiated the Kakopothar mayhem and then Army jawans chased 15-16 year old teenagers on paddy field and killed them point blank!

Re: [Assam] Army firing in Kakopathar
This is where all concerned in Assam should protest loud and clear to the district, State, and Central Govt I consider the voice of nearly 10 people gathered from Digboi, Margherita, Jagun etc. at Kakopothar as an attemt of making vox populi loud and clear to whatever govt.s present in Assam. However, those voices were silenced by the govt. guns in the same fashion as it happened in Tianenman Square in China in 1989. I understand, that it is only at the invitation of the State Govt. that Central troops are deployed. So, the State Govt. must be extremely careful when requesting such 'help'. Nobody, neither the state govt nor the Indian govt. is concerned about the common people. By now the state should well know the totally uncivilized way many members of these forces behave. This does not apply to an armed force as the training they get involves torture techniques, assassinating anybody suspected as not agreeing with them. Militants also bear a lot of responsibility in situations like this. If they want to take on the Indian forces, thats up to them. But they *should not*take shelter amidst people who cannot say no to the militants nor can they say no to the army. Consider two scenarios here. Lets assume 1. The militants threaten common people to accommodate them in their houses. In this case the villagers or common people are not at fault at all. Why should the commoner be harrassed for that. If a group of decoits threatens a house owner in Delhi or Mumbai to give them shelter does Delhi or Mumbai police go and kill the house owner? They do not even have the guts to do that. But in Assam they CAN do that. Lets see what happens if a group of Assam police kills two youth in Haryana! 2. Lets assume in another case the villagers are the sympathizers of the militants. In that case the question should why India, the constitution is failing these people that they support the militants! And that is exactly what the Indian government has been ignoring for ages. The list of SHOULD NOTs goes too long for both militants and Indian govt and army, Ramda. The reaction of Army and mainstream India is just like my Indian friend's who often times defends killings of innocence Assamese as some sort of Karma : You guys supported ULFA so you guys are killed. However the question is that what does Indian govt want? Does it only want the geographical area called Assam sans Assamese people? The military strategy adopted in Assam and NE makes many of us believe that the Indian govt does not care about the people but the geographical area called Assam or NE. If it cares for the prople it should analyze under what cicumstances people in Kakopothar shouted ULFA Zindabad, Paresh Barua Zindabad, Razkhowa Zindabad. Dex mathoeta dharona,thikonar xexxari...

[Assam] The Untold Story of the Exploitation of Black Gold of Assam
I thought this article published in Xadin is very important, so I summarized and translated it into English for the readers. Some maths in section 4 are done by me, which is a bit different from the calculations of the author Gautam Prasad Barua. Author: Gautam Prasad Barua In 1973, as the oil prices went up throughout the world, the Indian government got a law passed in the parliament known as the OIDB ACT-1973 for the development of the oil industry in the country. The act enabled the central Indian government to impose a CESS or an extra tax for the oil produced in Assam at the rate of 300 Rs. Per tonne, which was later increased to 1800 Rs. Per tonne. From 1974 the Central Govt has been receiving the tax at the above-mentioned rate. Considering the fact that Assam produces 4.7 million tonne of oil per year now, the central government receives 850 crore rupees as tax from Assam oil presently. However, according to the OIDB act, the money collected in form of tax from Assam oil should be used only in oil exploration and development of the oil industry only in the north east region. During the initial few years the central government lent some money to the oil companies for development, but as soon as the oil companies achieved a better financial condition they stopped taking this money as loans from the central government. Since then the central government has been using this money collected from taxing Assam oil to stabilize its deficit budget, which, according to the OIDB act is unlawful. There is no way that the central government can divert this money from the head of 'oil exploration and development in the north east' to its deficit budget. The author suggests that the central government should: 1. Stop imposing CESS or extra Taxation on Assam oil immediately so that the Assam government can impose CESS on Assam oil on its own as it does in case of Assam Tea. 2.If the central government cannot stop imposing CESS, then the tax money collected should be used in the development of infrastructure in the NE region, which is allowed by the OIDB act. 3.If the Central government says that the money collected from imposing CESS is deposited and saved in the OIDB fund, then the central government should give us the details how much money do they owe Assam in the form of CESS in the last 32 years and how much it has spent in the designated heads allowed by the OIDB act. 4.If Assam has been producing at least 3.5 million tonnes of oil every year since 1974, then CESS collected from Assam oil in the last 32 years is 201600 million rupees. If the central government has spent a single penny from this amount anywhere except in Assam, it is unconstitutional according to the OIDB act. As far as we know the central government transferred this money to a consolidiated fund, violating the OIDB act. 5.The author suggests that a public interest litigation be filed against the central government in the interest of Assam.

[Assam] Haryana Police atrocity in Assam
The Assam Tribune online Guwahati, Sunday, December 25, 2005 Salakati clash evokes Statewide protests By A Staff Reporter GUWAHATI, Dec 24 The Salakati incident of clash between a group of youths and a contingent of the 1st India Reserve Battalion (IRB) over an alleged attempt at molestation of some college-going girls that killed four persons yesterday, has stirred widespread protests in the State today, even as tension continued to prevail in Kokrajhar. While the Rabiram Narzary faction of the Bodoland Peoples Progressive Front (BPPF) has called for a 12-hour Assam bandh from 5 am of December 26, the All Assam Students Union (AASU) and the Asom Unnati Sabha have decided to observe December 27 as a black day in protest against the incident. The BPPF has also demanded stringent punishment to those involved in the Salakati incident, adequate compensation to the victims families and security to the women rail passengers. The AASU and Unnati Sabha also made similar demands and stated in a statement here today that their members all over the State would hoist black flags at the public places on December 27. They also said that both the AASU and the Unnati Sabha would hold discussion with the All Bodo Students Union to chalk out further course of actions on the issue. The All Assam Tribal Sangha has demanded immediate and stringent punitive measures against those IRB personnel involved in the alleged case of molestation and shooting yesterday. It has also demanded compensation at the rate of Rs 10 lakh to the kin of each of those killed in the incident. Besides, it demanded prompt measures to ensure safety of rail passengers and a high-level inquiry into the incident. The Sangha has also lent its full support to the bandh called by the BPPF in protest against the incident on December 26. The State committee of the CPI-ML (Liberation) also took out a procession in protest against the incident and demanding punishment to those involved in it. The State unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has vehemently condemned the incident and demanded compensation at the rate of Rs 5 lakh to the kin of each of those killed in it. The Manab Adhikar Sangram Samiti has demanded exemplary punishment to those involved in the incident and adequate compensation to the kin of those killed. The All Adivasi Students Association of Assam (AASAA) also condemned the incident and demanded a judicial probe into the whole episode. The Association also demanded that the government should immediately pay compensation of Rs 10 lakh to each of the affected families, in addition to arresting and severely punishing the Haryana policemen who have been accused of committing crimes against girls students, our Dibrugarh Bureau adds. AASAA vice-president Raphael Kujur today said that the police action after the misdemeanour by the Haryana policemen has to be condemned, and that the beating and shooting down of innocent citizens is a crime against humanity. The All Assam Bengali Youth Students Federation has also condemned the incident and demanded exemplary punishment to the guilty police personnel from Haryana. Meanwhile, the body of Thomas Basumatary (21), BA Second Year student of Gossaigaon College who was shot dead by the policemen at Salakati has been cremated at his Ballimari residence some 7 km from Gossaigaon subdivisional headquarter. Thousands of people, including teachers, students and the local citizens paid their last respects to the body of Basumatary, our Gossaigaon correspondent adds.

Re: [Assam] Indian MPs question bribe
But that is not an example/only example to follow! The saddest thing about Indian MPs is that they are ready to ask a senseless question for even 5000 rupees! Some of the questions were as below: Whether the Railway Ministry has placed any order for purchase of the Yossarian Electro Diesel engine from Germany? Is the ministry aware that the Tom Wolfe committee report in Germany has halted its induction into the Euro Rail system? Whether the Government has given sanction for the seed trial of Salinger Cotton of Monsanto? If so, has a report been prepared on Catch 22 cotton so far? Has the ministry lifted the 1962 ban it imposed on the book For whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway and the 1975 ban on Ken Keseys book One Flew Over a Cuckoos Nest and Hunter Thomsons book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? If so, when were the bans removed? Whether the government is aware that a domestic flying license has been denied to Cobra Cargo for starting operations in India? Since when has Semper Sursum Private Limited, the holding company of Cobra Cargo, applied for the domestic cargo license?

Abramoff case is a recent example who took millions of dollars from Red Indians (Native Americans) while acting as their lobbyist -some he delivered some he ate up.

Any businessman in India you talk to, accept these practices as cost of doing business. The practice will change when the politicians (many no more than local dadas) realize that they are likely to be caught and thrown out. But can you rely on the journalists to be the good guys? I heard in assam that a whole newspaper can be bought and turned against a certain party or a politician. In this case I am sure Cobra Post is doing what journalists are suppoesed to do.

Re: [Assam] What about the telegu language ?
Sanskrit is NOT the mother of ALL Indian languages - it is not so for the Southern Indian languages such as Tamil, Telegu and Kannada and it is not so for North Eastern languages as well as languages of the different tribes that are found all over North India. I don't see why there should be a debate at all on that when it is a universally accepted fact. The politics of language (or of nationalism) cannot ignore this because this is a fact, not a hypothesis. = Thanks Rajib for saving some of my energy! Dex mathoeta dharona,thikonar xexxari...

[Assam] Oxom bonsito?
Look at the headline Dainik Janasadharan has created about the approval of the setting up of an IIM in Shillong Oxom Bonsito, Shillong-ot-he hol IIM. I fail to understand why is Oxom bonsito though the IIM will be just 3 hours drive from Guwahati, considering the fact that during rush hours it takes almost 2 and a half hours to reach Khanapara from Paltanbazar?
