**** I have been so appalled by the editorial standards of these two 
papers in recent days/weeks/months, that I was wondering what 
happened; how there isn't anyone left in Assam to write an editorial 
piece in these papers that would even qualify as an essay in a decent 
high-school with an average English language teaching ability.

I guess the above explains that--to an extent!


Not that I care, but I missed the Nehru letter.
