I think the historically appropriate and authentically Assamese dress
code for MLAs , MPs from Assam , and for govt. officials during
business hours ought to be:
** Gamosaar lengti ( A gamosa loincloth, worn above the knees)
** Peasant shirt ( collarless shirt, without buttons)
** Jaapi for headwear, if weather decrees.
** Bare feet.
All ought to be made to commute in 'gorur gari' ( bullock carts). The
flashing VVIP lights could be allowed over the oxen's tails.
Z-Security details shall wear no shirt, and the loincloth shall be
stained in black, and the sidearms shall consist of mesi-daa ( bent
long handled machete), jaathi ( spear) and dhenu-kaar (bow and
arrow).
Anyone ( of the male species) looking like B'deshis must have to
prove their non-B'deshi status by
displaying accepted physical evidence to law-enforcement officials
The least we can do.

Bangladeshi 'Clowns' in Assam Assembly : Need of Uniform ----
The year 2007 has seen two of the greatest audacious acts of
two Muslim organisations --- the All Assam 'Minority' Students Union
(AAMSU) and the political party AUDF. The AAMSU has shamelessly
declared of driving away Assamese natives from Dhubri and Goalpara.
Next, the members of the AUDF dressed up themselves like
Bangladeshis in making 'Clowns' of themselves in the Assam Assembly
on Aug 7. Its high time such nonsense in the form of lungis and
topics be checked in the Secretariat. A dress code needs to be
introduced where the members of the Assembly would be dressed smartly
in black trousers and white shirts.
