[SANDIP DUTTA]

How about lungi and kurta as well - especially for bearded topiwala reps from Dhubri, Hojai, Goalpara, Kachar etc :-))

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.
 
                          
                                                                                     ---- Satyen Brahma,
                                                                                                   Lokhora,
                                                                                                     Guwahati
