[Assam] Assamese represents Maj Sandeep Birthday for Orkut

[Ram Sarangapani]

Dear Bikash,

It is indeed a great tribute to Maj. Unnikrishnan, he was one of India's
bravest. On the whole the clips/videos were done well. And I'm glad you were
a big part of it.

On another matter, I just wanted to bring this up.
In the second link,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqMUBfIAvrY&feature=related, I saw this clip,
where I saw this picture,

*But, instead of the American flag, there was an Indian flag*.

For those who are not aware, this is a very famous photo taken on February
23, 1945  by Joe Rosenthal, of 5 US Marines, and a US Navy corpsman in Iwo
Jima ( Battle of Iwo Jima, World War II, on Mt. Suribachi).

IMHO, it is not right to use this photo with the Indian flag. I think Maj.
Unnikrishnan would be embarrassed, and India has many of it's own icons to
use, instead of borrowing from another country.

I hope they can correct this.
