Re: [Assam] March 2006 issue of Newsletter - weblink

Hello everyone, We are going to publish the April issue of the newsletter within a week. I am writing this email soliciting unpublished articles on any topic that will be relevant to the worldwide Assamese electronic community. The newsletter Posoowa will be published on assam.org as usual.

Re: [Assam] Enemies of India are enemies of Assam

Why do you say that the Assamese cannot live and grow by themselves? A strong, secure, united India is the geo-political guarantee of the survival of Assam, which is India. This statement is just a slogan. Assam, which is India: what is meant by that? An Assam which is exploited by India? An

Re: [Assam] Strong, secure, united INDIA

Whether you say it or not, your writing clearly gives the impression that you equate the domain of Hinduism with India. That is OK as a cultural concept, but it shouldn't be expanded to a political concept. India can be one cultural domain, but could be several countries in a political sense.

Re: [Assam] NAGALIM is INDIA

Himen da, Do you think all the places and the lands which are influenced by Christianity should be one country? What about Islam? Every land that is Islamic should be one country? Why equate Hinduism to a country? Your view of Hinduism as a nation is very limiting and not backed by any data.

Re: [Assam] The battle of the X's still continues

My main concern is that when we re-spell Assam, we should do it for ourselves, i.e., we should try to be as close orthographically possible to the actual original pronunciation as it is pronounced locally. If we are going to take a stand, we shouldn't spell it for others, we should spell it

Re: [Assam] India United

In the process, Assam lost its independence and became completely subservient to India! Jugal -Original Message- From: Himendra Thakur [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mc mahant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Dr. Khanindra Pathak [EMAIL PROTECTED]; assam@assamnet.org Sent: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 23:27:18 -0500

Re: [Assam] Give-up Anti-India Approach

Assam and India are not synonymous. One should be able to talk about Assam by looking at pros and cons of its complete and currently subservient political association with India. Jugal -Original Message- From: Himendra Thakur [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mc mahant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc:

Re: [Assam] Threat to the assamese

Santanu, That is not a correct characterization of what I said. I believe Assamese nationality or Assam's nationality is to a great extent based on a common language, lingua-franca shared by the people. If this is considered shallow, you should say France or Germany is a shallow nationality!!

Congratulations to Dr. Chaudhury for submitting his videos to google video. I just listened to them. I think he sung them in his home/apartment in Jerusalem! Great work. Bohu ulogere, srijut chaudhury!! Jugal -Original Message- From: Santonu Goswami [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Assamnet

Re: [Assam] What prevents India from holding a plesbicite

I will go further than Chandan da. If one plebiscite fails in Assam or Kashmir or Nagaland for whatever reasons, it doesn't seal the Assam nation's or Kashmir nation's on Naga nation's fate for ever. Such plebiscites should be allowed every 10-15-25 years say, at least every generation, if

Re: [Assam] What prevents India from holding a plesbicite

It's sheer hypocrisy on the part of India if it claims to be the biggest democracy in the world and cannot hold a plebiscite in Assam, NE or Kashmir. Ram da's argument is sheer balony. Jugal -Original Message- From: Malabika Brahma [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Malabika Brahma [EMAIL

Re: [Assam] moral coward of U.S.A - a thief lier

The reason I was asked to leave the University network is not that I didn't have permission to operate the mailing list. It is because Colorado State Assembly passed a law in the beginning of this year saying no State Government resources can be used to express any political opinion of any

Re: [Assam] Nations within nation States

Sanjibda's article on Asymmetric Federalism is extremely relevant. It may be the only way to solve the problems in India's peripheral regions. Keep a few issues as the core to India's existence and don't compromise on them. Maybe, these are finance, external relations/monetary policies, the

Re: [Assam] Nations within nation States

1) Puerto Rico is not a state, it's a commonwealth, a different arrangement of allegiance to the US than a state. I am not sure of the exact Constitutional arrangement, but it is supposedly self-governing although it sends representatives to the Congress. It has its own Constitution, but a

I had a friendly and informative discussion with the University's legal counsel Rosemary Augustine yesterday. The University's conclusion regarding assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu, Assamnet's old home, was based on a new Responsible Computing Policy document (effective on January 18, 2005). It has
