[Assam] Fwd: Re: assam Digest, Vol 24, Issue 18

Command over one or the other is NOT a measure of one's intellectual 
abilities, even though 'desis'  don't always realize that: A result 
of centuries of colonial  subjugation.


No, Nagaland border was NOT ignored. It was already addressed by ULFA 
in its original post. To have missed that, demonstrates where the 
language problem really resides  :-).
