[Assam] Poor, pathetic 'litikai' Assamese with their 'tilika' minds

[Barua25]

Dear Mohan:
Thanks for your enlightened response. Before I respond intelleigently and honestly, please let me know little bit about yourself since your last name is not familiar to me. Do you live in Assam? How much you know about Assam? It is imprtant for me to know these since what I wrote was based on my strong convictions and years of study.  However I am open for criticism and correction. BTW I noticed that you have misinterpreted my writing at some places which I would like to explain. Please respond.
Thanks
