[asom] Creating a space for Sivasagar/Assam on internet

2008-01-07 Thread Abhijit Borah
Hi All,

I always spend a massive amount of time randomly surfing around the
internet. And in most occassions I do a search for Assam or
Sivasagar, just the typical weakness for my homeland. But I often get
upset by the fact that the webworld contains very few information for
the beautiful place in upper assam called Sivasagar. I waited for
years but not a single good website came up, apart from one govt
site. At last I decided to create one by myself. And so came the
existence of http://www.onlinesivasagar.com after my hard endeavour for months.

Its purely an individual effort to build a non-commercial site as
beautiful as the place I belong to, but not sure how am I successful.
Please take your some time out of your busy schedule to have a look
into http://www.onlinesivasagar.com

..The website is suppose to help anyone  having internet access to know about 
Sivasagar.  The website is also
equipped with all latest trends of internet world like blogging
space, forums, E-Directories, classified etc. The website is also
highlighting on various aspects Assam's art, culture, music, movies
etc.It is made as much user interactive as can be, so that anyone
having interests in contributing towards the website can upload their
contents. My focus is always to bring up the positive and beautiful
aspect of our society but to forget all the problems/issues we have
been facing.

I will be the happiest person if you find it little helpful and leave
a suggestion in the guestbook. I am eagerly for your contribution
towards it with contents that can be added to the site, due to lack
of time it may not be possible for one individual collect all the
info staying far away here in Bangalore.

My apologies if you find some pages under construction, which you can
expect to be completed soon! And also if I am proceeding towards a
wrong direction somewhere!

Wishing you all happy new year.

Thanking you all in advance.


Regards,
ABhijit Borah

It is really more than sad to see how the value of human life is decreasing in 
the whole world. And none can be more hapless than those people who became 
homeless in their own homeland.

I wonder who will ever rescue us from such grave situations. But in reality, we 
have written our own faith. We fought against each other for decades..Divided 
ourselves from one community 'Assamese' to variuos sections like Bodo, Rabha, 
Karbi, Chaotal, Muslims and so so..I am ignorant of the exact list of late as 
being stayed outside Assam for quite a long time..But we are claiming ourselves 
how different by origin from every other person...We first seprated out other 
Indians, we never stopped, then among ourselves..This is a big injury and 
getting deeper day by day.  

I have read many posts where the incident was taken positively, expecting it 
would unite people in Assam. But that is not true. I was exactly there in 
Assam(Sivasagar/Guwahati) in those days...I hardly saw any concern in anyones' 
face..Today in the other part of the state, people are just ignoring it..'It's 
Bodo Land. Violences are very common there!'..This reluctant mentality will 
bring up the same kind of situation in other part of the state and then it will 
be too late!

But the question is who is going to make people understand? Everyone is after 
easy money in Assam..You will find everything there, it's not less modern than 
any part of the country..But the only two things missing are honesty and 
non-violence!..I am not saying that in other part of the country people are 
honest. But in my homeland it is unbearably dishonest. No honesty at home, no 
honesty in office, no honesty in temples..honesty no where! And we are the most 
violent in this country..We don't think twice to cut down our 
brothers!Unfortunately the young generation(myself too) is the most dishonest 
and easy-money-hunter. 

I cann't do anything staying here outside Assam, but pray our politicians to go 
to the hell..I just can't tolerate to see any of those old disgusting faces. I 
haven't seen more stupid politicians(!!!) than ours. They will run after the 
foreign(immigrants?) votes whose number is still pretty less compared to 
indigenous people!.But they will never think that they would have got all the 
votes of local people if they would have deported all the foreigners!..In the 
present date I can't even imagine a single face in the whole political world of 
Assam who has the potentiality to save Assam!

Lastly I have no sympathy for those outsiders/immigrants, so called 
minority(should be majority in numbers!). There were times many decades ago or 
may be centuries ago, migrations happened!..But those people assimialted to the 
Assamese culture and community making our community strong.. But in recent 
days, the migrants are real violent and criminals!..These people will never get 
mixed into the society like 'oil can't be mixed  with water' just pollutes the 
water!..I wonder will ever be this pollution stop?..They will use our land for 
agriculture, build homes in our land, live lives on our Rupees, use all 
Government facilities and finally will ATTACK us?..I watched a interview of a 
small boy in 'News Live' channel complaining about something from those relief 
camps.. I was astonished to listen to new genre of Assamese languge, I am not 
sure if in some part of Bangaldesh Assmese is spoke and the boy speaks the 
same!..And he was projected was victim
 and thousands of them were protected well in the relief camps by our own 
adiministration!... And our government will offically settle them in some 
lands..and they will have more right than any local people for 
those lands!..And this is how we are losing!..Its was sad that only ndfb 
members were arrested but none from the so called 'minority' community!

I don't know if a miracle happen to this land of ONCE most innocent,simplest, 
peaceful people in India! I don't know if the next generation will be 
honest!..I don't know if someone will rise to rescue us and show no mercy to 
the immigrants and terrorists!

[asom] Feedback/suggestion on Kamrupi script

2008-11-12 Thread abhijit borah

Hi Rabin da,

It is definitely another great addition to your ratneresearch project.
It is really necessary to make a fusion of old culture with recent 
sophisticated technology to keep those forgotten things alive.
I never got a chance to read a chance a single copper plates scripture, so 
barring myself from expert comments. For me you are the baseline, so can't 
fault it out.
Wish you all the luck for the future.
(I just found a typo error as 'Sanskritized pronaumtian'.. I think it should be 
pronunciation).

Thanks and Regards,
Abhijit Borah

Friends,

Following link is all about Kamrupi script (audio in second link).

http://www.ratneres earch.com/ kamrupi/kamrupi_ script.pdf 
http://ratneresearc h.com/data/ endangered_ kamrupi.mp3 

I have developed Kamrupi scrip-set during Dec/Jan 2004/05 but yet to be 
released. Kamrupi writing did not use as many conjunct as we now see in Ratne 
script. But I kept a direct translation from Ratne script written text to 
Kamrupi.

Now I am looking for feedback/suggestion especially if you have read sachi 
scripture or copper plates' scripture your feedback will be very valuable.

Kind regards,
Rabin Deka

This email also serves reply to Saurav's email Mar 28, 2005 (sorry for late

[asom] Future of Assamese languauge

2008-12-18 Thread abhijit borah
Hi,
�
It's not very far that we will be endangered until we stop fighting among 
ourselves, may be among various tribes, may be among Ahom - Kalita-Kosari, may 
be Bodo-Assamese, may be Kamrupi-written Assamese, etc.
�
This is what a news in Assam tribune says:
�
"If you were in doubt whether Assamese-speaking people have increased or 
already lost majority in the State. The answer is: Assamese speaking has 
registered a growth of 0.40 per cent. Clearing the air to dispel the 
apprehension that Assamese people have become minority in their own State, 
Centre today clarified that there has been no decline in the Assamese speaking 
population in the country during 1991-2001."
