I do not know what are the sources of your information
but I do not have any statistics which suggets that
those who attend these 'elite' institutions like your
alma mater are children of corrupt Indians.  Do you
have any statistics ?

So what are you .....  not a self made man ? Or is it

As a matter of Fact,  YOU attended 'elite institution'
 which is FUNDED by Citizens of India and LEFT to
enjoy life on foreign shores  WITHOUT contributing
ANYTHING to India or Assam (except being a armchair
revolutioner).

It is sad to see that the self proclaimed most
intelligent person of Assamnet fails to answer some
simple questions :) ... not for the first time though
