RB:
Your comments are very strong and objectionable. To say that there are no
intellectuals left in Assam is a gross comment. And to say that every
assamese outside Assam is more intelligent is I think is like blowing ones
own trumpet.

I agree with your comment that Assamese folks should stand up and voice
their concerns in confidence. And the fact that Assam should not change to
Asom. Assam should remain as Assam, if at all it should change for
whatever reasons (??) It should be
called Okhom, not Oxom either... because the sound of "x" is only known to
us...The world does not know that assamese sound.
they will misread it as OX (as in oxen) and Om as in (home). I am sure we
don't want that!

There are only a few people like yourself who are harping of separating
from India. Majority understands why it is not the right thing to do.
There are hundreds of youths who will read your message, get excited, and
leave their mainstream lives to become extremists. They will
probably be called heores by some, extremists by some, but in short, you
will be responsible for destroying the life of a generation behind the
youth. You will never be there in the middle of what they will be growing
through. You will out leading a comfortable life outside the country.

Intellectual minds should get their acts together to see in what way we
can do or something better for the state. Every time a tree falls we don't
blame
GOI for that....

We do need universities in Assam to come up with certification courses. I
met some people in Upper Assam who is an electrician, but does not know
how a switching system works.

If we want our youth to be employed, we should first go to private
companies like oil refineries in Numoligarh, Duliajan, other private
companies, Governement offices etc. find out what skill sets they need for
different jobs. Teach those skill sets in university extension centers.
And make it mandatory for hiring with the necessary certifications. This
is one way to keep the jobs for the youths and find them employments.
