[Assam] Assam search engine ‘Bisarok’

[Amitabh Kakoty]

I go with Ms. Sarangapani.

1. In English - 'Search' button in any search engine's home-page actually
means 'Now *You* Search' (after you type or speak what you want to search).

2. In that sense, 'Bisarok' in that particular page also means 'Apuni
Bisarok'; they for obvious reasons did not make it 'Bisara' (Tumi) or
'Bisar' (Toi).

3. It is definitely not saying that you are a 'judge'!!!

4. 'Bisarok' (from Bisora) is in fact a very native, easy and simple word;
there is no requirement of creating a new 'da(n)t bhonga' laboratory
product. This trend is only leading to our mother tongue's alienation from
us and contributing to its decay and death. Sanskrit was a tough written
language - nobody actually accepted it as a normal language in the
sub-continent (apart from few villages of descendants of few priests - that
also in Dravidian South India!). Sanskrit based laboratory products in
Assamese languages are actually threat to our mother tongue. Forget about
it's acceptance from the local ethno-cultural groups as a lingua franca,
even a common Assamese would prefer simpler languages or something like
'Assalish' or 'Hinglish'. The trend is evident.

5. But is this search engine a real search one or is a parasite on Google;
it is not even in 'Assamese Language' - then, why not to use 'Google'! Are
people going to use it? What are the advantages of using it?

Regards
Amitabh
