[Assam] About IMAGINATIONS

[Chan Mahanta]

Imagination has many meanings, depending on the context. And it does 
not mean DAY DREAMING.
All great things ever done by man have always been sparked by the 
imagination of a single human being.

  Assam's despondency is rooted in an appalling lack of imaginative 
ideas and creative drives, forever
under the shackles of even more unimaginative Indian rule.

The moment you accept this condition as given and an unchangeable 
fact of life, you are doomed. Your thought processes cannot  get out 
of the self imposed prisons.

Result:  An utter sense of helplessness, being reduced to an 
intellectual damp rag.

Taking control of Assam's resources is ONLY one of the many parts 
that Assam will have to gain control over to make a difference for 
itself.

It could have been different, had Indian governance been able to show 
otherwise. But sixty years is long enough to see the handwriting on 
the wall--how ill equipped Indian intelligentsia is to resolve the 
problems of a billion people. To depend on them, on their charity, 
for Assam's prosperity and well being, is nothing less than living in 
a fool's paradise, one of wishful thinking and daydreaming.
