[Assam] Mr. Sangliana, MP

[Ram Sarangapani]

This is a great story, and really a poitive one at that. Could be our Mizo
brothers can show our MPs how the country ought to be run? Congratulations
to him for setting such a shining example and people of NE and Mizoram in
particular should be proud of him.

The story is also good in showing us that Kanadigas can elect a
non-Karnataka person without reservations and that they are open minded.

 >Is India really becoming a nation? :-)

It always was and is even now. Its only certain elements (and some in
Assamnet) who are not able to yet see things clearly :-)
