<: Lachit Borphukan is representing greater Assamese community ; not Ahom alone as Mahatma Gandhi is representing India not Gujrati alone. :>
Theme is not Lachit and Gandhi, but Atan Burhagohain and Chakradhwaj Singha! Himendra is using Lachit like a 'promotional/marketing code' in order to sell his ideas of marble statue of his Swargadev Chakradhwaj Singha, and Atan Buragohain Sako. There must be reasons why Himendra Manoj et al or other members are not answering following questions including Dibya :) (a) What place in Assam and on what date Lachit was born? (b) What place in Assam and on what date Lachit had died? (c) Saraighat battle ended with a treaty, was it signed by Atan Burhagohain? (d) On what date Atan Burhagohain was executed and for what reason(s)? If you place Lachit's statue in some places you will only insult the brave soul. And let's do not compare Gandhi with any Ahom-administrators, including those during past 3 decades (Ahom - of or related to Ahom kingdom). As before, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/4822 No *Ahom names* should be chosen to name/rename projects roads villages towns etc in greater Kamrup under all circumstances. It is not right to do so. By doing so, it will *only demonstrate Ahom-bulling*, not Assamese-bravery. Just like in *California *where all roads bridges projects etc names have been Spanish (including the brand-new or under construction) -- those in greater Kamrup should be all *Kamrupi including Baro Rabha Saranya etc*. <: expecting one great Warriar to evolved from the Greater Kamrup to lead Assam in our next war against Bangladeshi jehadis (possibly within 2050) and protect us from the Bangladeshi butchers. Then our next generation will gracefully construct one Mighty Bridge over Brahmaputra in his / her honour. :> It is good to have dreams! [Let's slow down on Extreme Righteous Assamese (ERA) syndrome. Let's try to look at scenarios of population-segments' using Geographical Indications -- in order to better understand which population-segment is doing what] During past 3 decades, the administrations that running Assam Govt have been Ahom-admins. If these admins would have been *serving India Constitution* there would have been no scenarios of the sort now we see in Assam. Even if Ahom-admins' start serving India Constitution from now on 'possibly within 2050' scenarios (as Dibya expects) will never happen. Do you want to let trouble come because you want "next generation will gracefully construct one Mighty Bridge over Brahmaputra in his / her honour"? Or do you want Ahom-admins start *serving India Constitution*? >From greater Kamrup all the ethnic Kamrupi Assamese together can not send enough MLAs anymore owing to Ahom-admins' protocol-centric 'new Ahom Assamese' rapid population growth tactic in greater Kamrup. So Assam Govt is all set to go with Ahom-admins 'possibly until 2050' or earlier! Re: dibya's email: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/4824
