[Assam] Where will be Assam?

Sat Dec 12 00:57:48 PST 2009

The announcement of the creation of Telengana has opened a pandora's box.
There are demads of creation of new states from all over the country.
And not surprisingly, various organisations and political paties in Assam
have also shown
re-energised interest in breaking Assam into many new states.
The last count was- Kamatpur, Dimaraji and Bodoland.
It seems by the time I decide to retire and move back to my home,
it may not be in Assam. The assamese community is so diverse that with this
pace,
what will remain of Assam will be Dispur secretarat.

Joi Axom...err..sorry, dont know which state I will belong to.
