[Assam] Oppose the idea of compulsory teaching of Assamese in all schools

[umesh sharma]

All  should study in atleast one common language - Assamese, or English. In some parts of Latin America (South, Sentral America) some have to study their Indian local language (reading, wiritng incl), then Spanish, and then English too!!

ON this I would like to place a small note from my childhood memory.
When my father first established Kalaigaon Cop operative Markekting Society in
1960's, his Tea Garden tribes chowkidar named Naga, who was most trusted to
our family till death did walked till Burma via Imphal.He was another great man
to us at any time.When he came back after 9 months, he said he found 2 big
Assamese villages inside then Burma.They was same like what the Sikh guru Teg
Bahadur's Punjabi In Borkola,nagaon are doing.Those villagers were talking
in Assamese and dress same mekhela chadar.Later we came to know they was the
same given as gift by then Ahom kings in the first till last Mann invasions..
Any one can tell now what about their existance??If any of our friend are there
and wanted to think better way than me please?
I am sad that now people from inside Assam are talking against the only vast
language once used in the entire Kamrupa kingdom till then Banga.Now every state
have muylti languages due to political shiftings etc.But this should not hamper
the language.Why all that only comes to mind in case of Assam??
Will anyone learn from south Indian states please?The south Indian high courts
gave order to write any shop names in local langauge, else fine 10,000 Rs. Or
cancel the permit.No govt job if one doesnot know the local language.No Govt
contracts.
Thats why they are more united and local are safe enough.See this latest:
Live in Rome and be a roman.

Dear so-kokaideo,

A Manipuri friend of mine- "bikram singh" <thocks5 at gmail.com>
went to Tawang
few years back. Near Sela Pass he found two villages communicating in
Arunachali (An adopted from of Assamese in Arunachal). They knew no other
common language. Imposition of Hindi has largely failed. On returning he
reminded me how at one point of time Assamese was the lingua franca of the
current NER starting from Coch Behar to Manipur and from Tawang to
Chittagong.
