>>I do not live in Assam. I live in the US now. And much before that. I
>>lived in Hyderabad. I grew up in Jorhat and am a half assamese from my
>>mother's side.
>>
>>You will be right in saying that I do not know about Assam as much as you
>>would do. Neither do I know of any state for that matter, because
>> politics
>>has never been my forte.
>>
>>When I was in India, working for ICRISAT, I was more into science and
>> have
>>worked without boarders to help poor farmers in the semi-arid tropics
>>spanning, Asia, Africa and Latin America as  a GIS (Geographic
>> Information
>>Systems) scientist. Now in the US I do habitat work for vertebrate
>> species
>>in the South-east US region.
>>
>>As a student of Engineering, during AASU andolan, I was responsible in
>>pooling up resources in terms of money, medicines and clothes that the
>>assamese group in Hyderabad colected for the flood affected people.
>> Bhrigu
>>Phukan at that time sent me a thank you letter thru Oykho Rajkhowa.

>> >> 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.
