[Assam] Fwd: Fashion Show in Asom politics !

[Mohan R. Palleti]

Rajen & Ajanta:
The Government should not take a unilateral discussion to change the name
from Assam to Asom.
I have always supported for the name to remain as Assam and will lend my
support to this arguement.

> Or is it a Assamese Hobo Diok type demand?

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

>          It is disheartening to see the sample of women entering the

> politics with the help of 'crutches' like their influential
> husbands or even fathers-in-law. Unlike neighbouring Bengal or

> 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.
