Re: [Assam] Rebuild Assam or India

2005-11-08 Thread Partha Borah

I would like to share my views regarding the topic 'Rebuild Assam or India'. It is a very very nice initiative. 
It is mentioned there that 'If you have any objection about ULFA- ask yourself why India continues with a million strong armed forces...'

Yes, of course. I have objection about ULFA. And probably my view starts from this point onwards. What I feel is that, we (the Assamese) are not yet matured enough to think of independence. In which front are we capable? Can we compete with rest of the Indians? No we can’t. How candidates get seat in IITs, how many candidates can clear UPSC, how many renowned people are there in the art and culture field, how many high ranking officers are there in defense service? There are numerous similar questions are there whose answer is common either no or very few. So we are not yet been able to compete with others. Can we blame Indian Union Government for all these inabilities? 

Even very less number of people outside Assam know about Srimanta Sankar Dev or Vir Lachit. Is not our responsibility to spread the message of these great personalities to different parts of the world? I think it is high time for introspection. Simply passing the blame to others is not going to solve the problem rather it makes things more and more complicated. 

What I feel is that we need to prepare our self to compete equally with others. There should not be any front untouched.
We should learn how to work hard.
We must be able to compel central government leadership to solve our problems.
There should be no leader left who can overlook our problem.
We must be able to create a situation where blame on central government will reduce drastically.

And to do all these we need to penetrate into every front, every filed. And for that we must work hard, compete boldly. 

After achieving these objectives, if anybody still wants independence, then I shall have no objection.

Title: Re: [Assam] Rebuild Assam or

Hello Partha,

Welcome to assamnet.


I am sure you did not post your comments here merely to preach,
but did so after thinking about it,deliberating about it, hoping to
contribute constructively to the discourse.

With that assumptions, allow me ask you two simple questions
about your comments. There are many more, but that is for later,
should you remain engaged that is.


We must be able to compel central government leadership to
solve our problems.

*** Why do you want to compel the Central Govt. to solve YOUR
problems? Why must you be dependent on somebody else for your
welfare?


We must be able to create a situation where blame on central
government will reduce drastically.

*** WHY do you or others BLAME the Center ? Why is it a
blame-magnet? What are the things that YOU blame the Center for,
if anything? I am asking you, because
you broach the subject and because of a propensity amongst us
here to speak for others, while holding back our own views. It is not
a very good approach to play self-appointed spokesmen or interpreters
for others. It is far more credible if we speak for ourselves. Know
what I mean?


I will look forward to your answers. And should you furnish some,
we can engage in some discussion.

Best to you.
