[Assam] Assamese Muslim Sattras

In case they do not publish, send a personal copy to me or us.

 Even among the sanest of us, the rut created by a prejudice-charged situation, is not readily erased. It is like pathological aversion to beef eating, while you have no issues with its cousins: goats and buffaloes.Historically, whether mega or meta, and logically, there should have been nonchalance, as to who eats what, because beef eating was permissible to our forefathers before settled cultivation. But the cultural rut, created by religious fiat that might have had justification at one time, has created a positive disaffection towards beef-eating, say. (It is only by way of illustration; and may not be considered as denigration or advocacy about beef-eating.) I was mentioning this kind of 'rut' as the 'objective' condition, which with 'subjective' help from mainland India, has led to intense polarisation in Assam, with communal undertones in each and every outlook, and had resulted in intense polarisation along communal lines in recent
 years. Terror, that has claimed victims across all communities, is looked upon with communally jaundiced eyes, though when we speak out we mask it well with the craft of the present day Brahmins.

Dear Uttam
This is not intense polarisation but intense pan Indinisation since 1826 which has corrupted both the liberal Assamese (Hindus and the Mulisms) cultures. We need to know our problem.
I just wrote a letter to the editor,
Hope they will publish
Thanks
