You are talking big brother. Give them a break. Neither India, nor Pakistan, nor China, nor Iraq, nor America, nor Europe, nor Rusia, wants or try for lasting lasting solution.

One step is enough for me,
I donot want to see the distant scene....

This is how the world civilization runs
Today one thing
Tomorrow another..

Gods are the toys of the adults..
If Santa Claus has a purpose for the children, then I would say that gods also have purpose..
That is my view.

Thanks

    You got that right. The Shiva or Ganesha image, and for that matter images of any other Hibdu gods, have the same sacred quality as the Indian Constitution.

  For those who don't, yet, allow me to expand on it:

  *** The gods, just like the Indian constitution is used for duping the gullible and  the ignorant
  by people in power and with influence to further their own personal interests, while the constitution, just like the gods, remain useless, impotent  and paralyzed, thoroughly inconsequential to the ordinary people.

     If these can prevent someone taking a leak against these, that is the greatest influence such images can have.   

  *** While it may, it could be merely a temporary fix, like a band-aid, that may seem to stop the bleeding, but will never cure the disease that is causing the haemorrhage.

    Small images are sufficient for small people where logic fails. Why do you say it is a mistake?

       Rajen:

      While I understand and support your position, I think you made a really big mistake in presenting it  in terms of the sanctity of the Indian Constitution, which is about as sacred as the picture of some Hindu god, pasted on a wall in Guahati to discourage them from taking a leak against it.

        I have a pending request to people who use the spelling ASOM, the request was posted in the net before. I propose to post the request till I get a response.

        The request is this:

        Would the people who use the spelling ASOM would kindly clarify whether they are using the word ASOM in place of the word ASSAM which is the official name of our state in English as dictated by the Constitution of India. The Assam State Govt has not changed this name yet. If they are using ASOM in place of ASSAM, then I would say that this is not legal, and would be a violation of the Constitution of India.

        On the other hand if they are using the word ASOM for the Assamese word OXOM, (with the guttural Assamese X sound) then I would say, that will be a wrong usage since nobody in the world would pronounce the SO in ASOM as Assamese Guttural 'kh' sound.  That will be a mis representation of the Assamese language, and in fact that will eventually kill the guttural 'kh' sound from the Assamese word like it already killed this 'kh' sound in words like 'Saikia', 'Sarma', 'Sibasagar' etc.  And if no Indian would pronounce the word OXOM correctly with the ASOM spelling, why then we are trying to force everybody to pronounce OXOM by writing ASOM without clarifying exactly what we are trying to do.and thus trying to kill the Assamese sound in the Assamese word?

        Would the ASOM -walas come forward from their closet respond to my standing request please.

        Or is it a Assamese Hobo Diok type demand?

        Sorry if I have spoiled somebody's mood, but I think we as Assamese must know exactly what we are trying to do.

                  '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.

                                                                                         Yours sincerely,

                                                                                          Siddharth Barua,

                                                                                          MRD Road,

                                                                                          Guwahati - 781 003
