[Assam] NYTimes.com: A Cane the World Can Lean On

[Chan Mahanta]

O' Ram:

Buisa, certain kinds of 'bidexi baanh', 
unfortunately for desi-devotees,  are more 
conducive to fine quality producing engineered 
products like floor boards, furniture grade 
bamboo timber and the like. Assam or India bamboo 
are more fibrous, harder  and darker/un-uniform 
in coloration than some Chinese/ Japanese/ Korean 
bamboo grown in cooler regions with which they 
make their , light colored, uniformly veined , 
exquisite products.


Not to suggest Oxomiya baanh is of no value--in fact it is of great value.

But before we jump to take umbrage over someone 
praising bidexi-baanh', one ought to be informed 
of the issues :-).

See, it does not make good sense for informed 
people to be mindlessly parochial over these 
issues.
