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.

                          
                                                                                ----
