*        'Dichotomy' in Dressing among 'Showpieces' in Asom Politics*


*       It is disheartening to see the sample of women entering the
political scene in Asom. They happen to climb the ladder of politics with
the help of 'crutches' like their influential husbands or even
fathers-in-law. Unlike neighbouring Bengal or distant Maharashtra, Asom
doesn't have a Mamata Banerjee or Medha Patkar. The state has only some
'butterflies' who love to roam about in 'designer' costumes. The Dichotomy
in their personality can be judged in the manner of their dressing. When
abroad, they lap up trousers made of jeans. Back home, they attend political
rallies in cotton or khadi mekhela-sadors. Whereas be in the US or India,
True Representatives of People like Mamata Banerjees, Medha Patkars et al
rock the world in their cotton or khadi saris. This letter is not aimed at
Eastern and Western dresses. It is just meant to show the instability in
'psychological' integrity and dressing dichotomy prevalent among the
oppurtunistic, affluent women making inroads into the political arena of
Asom.*
