To dear assamese friends

Dear Assamese Friends,
We the Assamese origin people may be living through out world. But, some facts really Hurts us and need to think for our society. Assam's Per Capita income is falling down behind the rest of India. Statistics says In 1950-51, per capita income in Asom was 4 per cent above India's national average. In 1998-99, it was 41 per cent below the general average of India at current prices and 45 per cent below the Indian national average at 1980-81 prices. All Influential People from Assam origin, Please do something for our State and for our people. Please use your contacts and link to overcome this situation. If you want me to take any sort of positive and logical initiative, I am ready for it. Jai Ai Asom, Manas.

A young journalist

Profile: Amarjyoti Borah, Journalist and Reporter

"For me, journalism is a mission rather than a profession."

Amarjyoti Borah, Journalist and Reporter had been adjudged The Youth Indian Environment Journalist of the Year 2007-2008 by the Forum of Environmental Journalists in India, FEJI. But for a larger public he had already proved himself as a vivid example through his engaged reporting. According to the jury, Borah's reportings "were socially very relevant to his area - the northeast - and were very comprehensive and well-researched". The "northeast" - that denotes a part of India and Borah's home country. He was born in the small town Tezpur and presently lives with his family in Guwahati city, both of which places are located in the northeastern state of Assam. Borah still went to school when he realised that he has a creative mind and the capacity to write and was literarily engaged ever since: "I was Research Associate with the literary organisation Nanda Talukdar Foundation and did research on Rural development.

Infiltration problem

ILLEGAL MIGRANTS IN ASSAM---

POLITICKING CONTINUES……

Biswajit Barooah.

It is mockery of our leadership that several parts of the Indo-Bangladesh border, both 170 k.m.land and 92 k.m. riverine kept open, the illegal Bangladeshi migrants move freely from one country to another and on the other hand various forums and tribunals, one after another are set up here in Assam to decide the fate of the illegal Bangladeshi migrants. At present the border is quite porous and one can easily move in and out without much difficulty. Should we believe that a court or tribunal set up here in Assam declares a person illegal Bangladeshi migrant directing the government agencies under it to deport him to another country will be accepted by the sovereign government in that country in absence of a bilateral agreement between the countries in political level.

The international law in this regard does not provide for unilateral deportation in defiance of the views of the country to which the deportation is to take place. Lt. Gen. S.K. Singha rightly observed in his report to the President of India that with the stand taken by the Bangladesh Government, it will not be possible for India to deport millions of illegal migrants to that country. Our capacity to identify and deport over 10 million such people is questionable. So, deportation of these illegal migrants is not a practical proposition. It should have been possible to restrict the entry of illegal migrants had the border been sealed and protected in a fool proof manner and there be a bilateral political agreement between the countries to this effect. In my book ‘ETA DASAKAR ASOM’, I suggested to restrict the entry of illegal migrants in the border in such a fool proof manner, otherwise stoppage of this terrible invasion is not possible.

The problem of illegal migration from one of the two dominions of the sub continent, presently known as Bangladesh is not a new one. In 1921, the first immigrant army corps of the invaders had conquered the princely state of Goalpara. In 1930-31, the second army command illegally consolidated their position in the district of Kamrup and almost completed their conquest of Nowgong. Sri J.C Bhuyan in ‘Illegal Migration from Bangladesh and Demographic change in the N.E Region’ wrote- “Kamrup district has also fallen to their attack and Darrang is being invaded. Sibsagar has so far escaped completely but few thousand of Mymensinghias in North Lakhimpur are an out post which may during the next decade proved to be a valuable basis for major operations.”

In 1931 the Census Commissioner of Assam, officially sealed and signed himself as the Superintendent, Census Operations, Assam S.C. Mullar vividly described how the immigration to Assam took place at that time and how steadily it is going to change the demographic pattern of Assam. His report is now proved to be a valuable documentation wherein he remarked categorically that within 30 years Sibsagar will be the only district to the state in which an Assamese will find himself at home.

The difference in growth rate between Assam and India during the pre independence period was quite significant. Assam’s population grew at the rate of 103.51% while the country’s growth rate was only 33.671% during 1901- 1941. Thus the difference of growth between Assam and India was due exclusively to migration. It is worthy to mention that the pre-independence Assam included the present north eastern region except Manipur and Tripura. However, a large part of Sylhet district of Assam was transferred to East Pakistan at the time of partition. During 1901- 1941, the population growth rate of Manipur was just over 80% but in Tripura the growth rate was the highest, 195.98 %. Most of the migrants to that state were of Hindu community.

After independence the affect of migration to Assam was the highest. The rate of migration may be divided into two parts, pre 1971 and post 1971. Post 1971 period refers to the trend of migration after the creation of Bangladesh. Large scale immigration did take place between 1951 and 1971 in the entire region. During this period at least 37,57,000 illegal migrants had entered Assam from East Pakistan/ Bangladesh alone. These migrants were mostly Muslims. Lord Wavell opined- “ the chief political problem is the desire of the Muslim Ministers to increase the immigration into the uncultivated government land under the slogan of grow more food but what they were really after was more Muslims.”

There is a notion in the mind of the leaders of the rest of this sub continent that Assam has plenty of cultivable waste land in comparison with the population of the state. Perhaps for this notion, Sk Mujibur Rahman declared in his victory speech - “Eastern Pakistan must have sufficient land for its huge population. Assam will give its full scope for expansion and because Assam has abundant land, forest and mineral resources, coal, petroleum etc. East Pakistan must include Assam to be financially and economically strong.”

The 1961 census showed a 34.97% increase of Assam’s population against the national average of 21.64% in the decade 1951-1961. In 1965, the then Prime Minister of India made a statement on the floor of Lok Sabha to this effect on the basis of the reports of the Indian Intelligence Service. Late Bimala Prasad Chaliha, the then Chief Minister of Assam however, estimated the influx at 3,50,000 only. However, ten tribunals were set up during this period to hear the appeals of the confirmed infiltrators. Thereafter, in the year 1967, 1968 and 1969: 1,29,000 infiltrators were expelled/ deported from Assam. Thereupon, 33 Congress Legislators belonging to the Muslim community led by Nainul Haque Choudhury, Devakanta Barooah and Sarat Chandra Singha demonstrated against the Chief Minister and said that if all expulsions of the alleged Muslim infiltrators be not stopped forthwith the Muslim block of congress vote bank would be lost forever. (Illegal Migrants and Indian Muslims in Assam: M.H. Rahman).

Sri Indrajit Gupta, the then Home Minister of India stated in Parliament on 6^th May, 1997 that there were 10 million migrants residing in India. On 10^th April, 1992, Hiteswar Saikia, the then Chief Minister of Assam stated that there were three million Bangladeshi illegal migrants in Assam but two days later he committed a volte face and declared that there were no illegal migrants in Assam. Noted Historian Dr. H.K. Barpujari described this volte-face of the Chief Minister in one line – “Saikia was indeed a victim of circumstances”. One can see for oneself what was true.

The illegal migrant’s issue in Assam was raised on the eve of the independence of India and has been since then, made to dominate the politics of the state till today. The development signals that this is not a problem of Assam or North East alone but it is a national problem. The Delhi High Court in a recent case ( Rezia Begum vs Union of India and ors.) observed that influx of illegal migrants from other countries possess a threat to the integrity and security of India. Justice S.L. Bhayana in a judgment said – “The large scale influx of illegal migrants has led to large tracts of sensitive borders which has serious implication for internal security. The order of deportation is not a punishment but a method of ensuring the return to his own country of an alien who has not complied with conditions. Hence, Bangladeshi nationals who have migrated illegally have no right to remain in India and they are liable to be deported.” In another case (Kamaluddin vs State of Assam: Civil Rule 2501/1998) Justice J.N Sarmah of Gauhati High Court expressed his displeasure and annoyance with regard to the casual and cavalier manner in which Voters’ List is prepared/ made in Assam. On the basis of such an incorrect Voters’ list a person was allowed even to contest election. Court can pass order but its execution is in the hand of government machinery.

The courts in India under the existing Law have been rendering yeoman service to the nation but dearth of strong political will keeps the problem alive. If proper steps are not taken in political level to detect, deport and bound Bangladesh to accept their citizens in India and arrest the flow of further immigration to Assam, in not so distant future, it will alter the demographic pattern of Assam.

Another Savior of Assamese language

Remembering William Ward
— Aziz-ul Haque

The American Baptist Missionaries played a very significant role in the history of Assamese language and literature. Nathan Brown and Miles Bronson are well known for their contributions made in this field. However, a less known is a junior missionary, the Reverend William Ward, who played no less an important role in Assam. It will be worthwhile to remember him on his 187th birth anniversary today. Ward was born on August 28, 1821 at Sheffield in the state of Ohio, USA. He graduated from Madison University in 1848 holding the highest position in the class for his scholarship and ability as a thinker and writer. The American Baptist Missionary Union appointed him as a missionary to Assam. He and his wife, Cordelia, reached Guwahati in April 1851 through waterways. He worked in Guwahati for the first six years and then another ten years in Sivasagar. War’s wife, Cordelia, died in 1859 and he married Susan, a missionary’s widow in 1860.

A letter from Mrinal Talukder

Dear Readers, MOSImage

Please help Mr. Talukder in this calculation. He may be wrong in the calculation as he proclaimed himself not an expert.
Assam current crude production - 5 Million Tonne per annum

(officialfigure)

Conversion
1 Tonne = 7 Barrel (www.onlineconversi on.com)
5 million tonne = 35 million barrel
$134 per barrel = $4690 million
Rs 42.84 per dollar = Rs 20,091 crore

Rs 20,091 crore is the annual revenue if Assam can sell that crude in international market. That is only crude. There is also gas. Let’s not take tea and coal into calculation because they have become marginal players now.

The total budget expenditure of this year for the state is Rs 24,821 crore.
State’s other resource (tax) is Rs 5011 crore.
We would like to know where do we (read Assam) stand with those figures. Please help.

Feel special

Feel special to be born an Assamese.

Roselin Hazarika

I want to share a heart warming experience with you all.
Istay in Bangalore and being the mother of a toddler find it very difficult to manage wearing our traditional dress while carrying him. But a couple of months back, I read a write up of Sashi Tharoor wherein he expressed dismay at our fast fading saree clad generation replaced by the new generation wearing more convenient clothes, like salwar kameez, western clothes. The write up initiated mixed response but to me it was a wake up call. I tried remember the last time i had donned a saree or our very own mekhela chaddar.Abashed. ...I could not recollect.

So, I made a decision that even if not often, I'll definitely wear saree or mekhela chaddars to formal occasions.

As soon as I did,our traditional dress evoked such a response that it left me overwhelmed. Almost all the ladies, I know want me to get them our traditional dress and they want to learn how to wear it. It is moments like this which makes you feel special to be born an Assamese.

Early Birds

Early Birds

Migrants Now Looking For Protected Area Land—

The Early Birds , An organization for wild life protection and animal care conducted a free vaccination cattle camp at Chanaka and Bharoitari ,both fringe villages of Pobitora wild life on 2^nd March,2008. Chanaka is behind the Burha Mayang hill range and had no road connectivity. The Early Birds team had to walk a few km in front of the wild life protection camp at Hiloykhunda before reaching the site. To the utter surprise of the team members they could see that land hungry people of doubtful integrity had constructed a few dwelling houses next to the wild life camp and around 100-120 such houses of semi permanent nature had sprang out in the riverside char areas just opposite to the sentry camp.

CHANGING THE WORLD ONE SMILE AT A TIME

(Received on e-mail from Sri Dayal Krishna Nath, Public Relation Officer, ‘Institute of Child & Woman Health Care Hospital’ (a unit of Dr. Kuntal Goswami Memorial Public Charitable Trust) at Mother Teresa (Zoo Narengi) Road, Guwahati, Assam and published on public interest.)

There are millions of children in the world suffering from Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate and associated anomalies. We do not know how many children will go through their entire life without ever being able to smile. No one knows how many children will never eat or speak properly, never go to school, never enjoy with friends or hold a job. It is a social stigma.
These cleft lip and palate babies not only look abnormal but they have feeding problems since they cannot suck. They also have hearing problems and speech is also severely affected in cleft palate children. The child grows up often malnourished and sick and is unable to face the world, and when the child grows up he cannot play around normally as he is teased and ridiculed. He leads a life of shame and isolation and is often humiliated and mentally tortured for no fault of his and the child silently suffers and his life becomes miserable. But all these problems can be solved by an operation of about 45 minutes duration which can bring a smile to his face. In other words, it is a correctable defect unlike many other birth defects that the child may be born with. Yet, most children are deprived of the treatment because of their ignorance and financial constraints. After correctable surgery this train of smiling children will definitely upgrade the quality of life of the unfortunate patients and their families by becoming responsible and confident citizens of the country.

Human Brutality

A new standerd of brutality

21 Rhinos were killed last year, and 4 in the last 21 days. What is this? What next?

(Special thanks to Mrinal Talukder)

Reader's comment:

This is beyond imagination.
How can any human being implicate so much torture to a gentle soul who cannot even cry out the pain.
This human being must be a disgusting demon.
--Barnali Saxena.

This is indeed the most barbaric and cruel attitute towards innocent and dumb animals. The Govt should take appropriate step to punish the guilty.

--- sudeep nath <sudeep_nath@ ...>

Earlier they had killed the animals first, and then removed their horns. Now, they are a step "smarter". They will do it even when the animal is alive.
I do feel ashamed to be a man from the rhino-land and not being able to help.

Role of women writers in Assam
— Aparna Goswami

Today responsibility of the women has increased enormously in the context of socio-cultural changes across the nation. With the rising trend of modernism there has been a seachange in the social structure of the society, especially among the womenfolk. The rise in female literacy rate has also broadened their outlook. More and more they are coming forward to take part in all spheres of human life like their male counterparts. During the post independence era, the advent of a class of writers especially in the last two decades is most discernible in the Assamese literary circle. The love for expressing their feeling freely has prompted them to do creative works. Their ideas and aspirations have led to the formation of a number of literary organisations which have been able to focus on the socio-cultural life of the people, more so on women and child welfare, health hygiene etc.

Weakness for homeland

A Letter from Abhijit Borah of Sivasagar

Hard endeavour for months of Abhijit:

Please encourage him by visiting : http://www.onlinesi vasagar.com

I always spend a massive amount of time randomly surfing around the
internet. And in most occassions I do a search for Assam or
Sivasagar, just the typical weakness for my homeland. But I often get
upset by the fact that the webworld contains very few information for
the beautiful place in upper assam called Sivasagar.

EVEN 50 % of

Assam's inhabitant does not speak Assamese

More than half of Assam's inhabitant does
not speak Assamese language and it is now official as the
Directorate of Census has released the datas regarding the state
wise language figures.
The shocking figures say that only 49.44 per cent of
people living in Assam speak Assamese language while 27.91 people
speak Bengali. Next major language is Hindi with 5.97 per cent
while 4.93 per cent speak Bodos.

BIRD CENSUS

On 6th of January a team consist of Moloy Baruah, Mayur Plaban Barua and Pulakesh Talukdar counted bird species at Jangdia beel near Lenga village at North Guwahati which was declared an Important Bird Area in Assam out of 48 such places in the state. 26 varities of bird species covering around 2500 bird in total were counted while two important species Grey Headed Eagle and Grey Heron were recorded. It is worth mentioning that the whole area is owned by a cooperative farm established in 1958 and due to ongoing plaguing activity with diesel pumps on to displace water logging , disturbances had driven away most of the birds to other areas.

Golden Jubilee of AEC Electrical

50 years of AEC Electrical department
— Dr Satyajit Bhuyan

The Assam Engineering College (AEC) came into being on September 5, 1955. It started its journey with the Civil Engineering department and that too with an intake capacity of only sixty students. Inaugurating the college the then Prime Minister Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru spoke, “ Well, you know, how important engineering in its various forms is today. This is more and more the world of the scientists and the engineers and I am glad that you have started the college.... I am happy to be associated today with this opening ceremony of this AEC. Engineers are above all builders. We have got to build India. we have got to build Assam and I hope the young men and women who got through this college will build well and truly.”

Assamese Diaspora returning to Assam

A good begining

It is heartening to see Assamese Diaspora returning to Assam andtrying to do something with lots of hope and promise. Their effort
through Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters(FASS) , with AASU and
then CII summit are praiseworthy. We areproud of their both individual and collective achivements.Unfortunately Panchyat election hangover has not yet givenAssamese media enough space for this positive development. Notwithstanding, this is indeed a good begining.

He also made it a point for the media that the development that was happening in the region should get attention it desired rather than the news on bomb blast and ethnic violence.

Lady Curzon, wife of the then British Viceroy to India, visited Kaziranga in the winter of 1904. Unfortunately, contrary to her expectations of seeing the great Rhino itself, she could only find a few of its hoof marks. Struck by its perilous state she impressed upon her husband Lord Curzon, the need to save the Rhino. Today a 100 years later, in what can be called this Century’s Greatest Conservation Success Story, the Rhino population at 1600 is the single largest in the world! This story sends a loud and clear message to the entire world – that with strong public and political will and collective action of conservation communities, there is hope yet for other critically endangered species across the globe.

I was a regular reader of the articles of Sjt Biswajit Barooah which appreared in Dainik Agradoot in his column AJIR CHINTA. The selection of the topic are praiseworthy, his style of presentation is superb. But after my transfer, I couldnot collect the paper rugalarly. However, I must say that not only his political reportings, but also his stories are well crafted with very good combination of words and moods. Bisphoran, Milan Moina, Rahasyamoyee, Parinam,Gadhuli and a novel( forgot the title) published in the Special issue(magazine) of Asomiya Pratidin etc are entitled for good approbation.

Visit of Revered Xotraadhikaar of Aauniaati Xotro

A Report on the Visit of Revered Xotraadhikaar of Aauniaati Xotro

Dr. Pitambar Dev Goswami

From:Sri Mridul Bhuyan,New Delhi

The day on 30th September, 2007 (Sunday) was slightly different for the Assamese as well as well-wishers of Assam , residing in the Millennium city of Gurgaon, New Delhi & Faridabad . Slightly away from the hustles of the mushrooming malls, the community hall at Rail Vihar, Sector-57 was all agog with hundreds of the Assamese community gathered around. The reason was the visit of Revered Xotraadhikaar of Aauniaati Xotro, Dr. Pitambar Dev Goswami. On, arrival, Dr. Goswami was rendered a traditional welcome by the young residents of Gurgaon with ‘Gayan-Bayan’ and chanting of ‘Uruli’. Arround 150 people from Gurgaon, New Delhi & Faridabad participated in the ‘Naam-Proxongo’, which was followed by ‘Negera Naam’, presented by some young residents of Gurgaon. The ladies were also not far behind and actively participated in the ‘Naam-Proxongo’.

National Rural Employment Guarantee

did little to boost the national
average.

From: Kaushik Hazarika

Here's the awful truth about the National Rural Employment Guarantee
Programme (NREGP), the UPA government's rural employment guarantee
scheme, on which an estimated Rs 20,000 crore is expected to be
spent in 2008-09: it is a demand-based programme and not a budgetary
allocation-based one — so, gauging its success by spends would be
misleading — but the average days of work provided to rural
households eligible under the NREGA was far lower than even 45 a
year in most of the 330 districts it now operates in.

Mahatma’s Letter To An Assamese Freedom Fighter

By Omar Luther King

OMAR LUTHER KING < This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it >
For the people of Assam, it would be interesting to know what Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation had to say about birth, life and death. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was popularly and affectionately called Bapu (meaning Daddy). On hearing about my mother’s death, this is what he wrote to my father:

Sarania Ashram
10-1-46

Dear Tayyebulla, Some mutual friend had told me of your loss before your letter was given to me on my arrival here that night at about 10 p.m. Why grieve over the inevitable? And death is the common measure of all that lives.

Imagine the torture that birth would be if there was no death! Loss therefore is a conventional word. Then true friendship is tested finally by the death of the loved one. And the verse you quoted from the eternal Quran puts the finishing touch on all I say. Let Him take what He has given. Let us then praise His great name. My prayer is with you.

You have done well in not coming to me.

Sincerely,

Bapu

Innovations in dance

By Mrs. Pranaame Bhagawati

Dance is an immortal art. It is an amalgamation of knowledge and purity, which leads an artiste to the depth of nirvana and moksha. It skirts through the purity of senses and the urge of wisdom. It has a tendency to mould an artiste into the music or song with which it is blended and expressed with full emotions.

The style and presentation of many dance forms has changed with time, though it is centered on its origin. But, there are also many compositions which do not relate to any classical grammar and are still very attractive to viewers.

The Ecstasy of Monsoon

By Mrs. Pranaame Bhagawati

…. The days of monsoon

Has come my love,

With sparkling thunder

And dark clouds above;

The flower of passion

Has bloomed in my heart,

Leaving the senses to gather

Love in passionate desert ….

- Pranami

Monsoon is the season of love, passion and gist of emotions. It brings along with the aureate passion of love and spreads the note of splendid beauty everywhere. It touches the core of the heart and establishes an eternal bond with all living creatures. This divine relation leaves the lust for love and sensuality in the entire surrounding.

This lust is acquired by all beings in some way or the other. When the cool breeze whirls around, the trees shower its leaves and rain drops on the mud ground and thus welcomes the nature to enjoy the enchanting moment.

When the monsoon caresses the earth, the blooming buds blossom to embrace the pearl drops of the first shower and thus fragments the heavenly atmosphere with romantism. The peacock spread out its plumage and effuses its mood, by stepping his feet and creating his own etude through dance. The tiny chirpy birds unfold their little wings and try to hug the shower of monsoon forever.

AALA demands Supreme Court Bench in Guwahati

From: Sri Prasenjit Kr. Goswami

The All Assam Lawyers’ Association, Guwahati has demanded the establishment of a bench of the Supreme Court of India at Guwahati.

To minimize the difficulties of the people of this region, out-laying benches of Gauhati High Court have been established at each and every State capital, an AALA release said, adding that this has immensely helped the poor people to a great extent. However, the AALA pointed out that there is a dearth of accommodation in the Gauhati High Court as the number of new advocates is ever increasing out.

Longest Assamese dictionary

Longest Assamese dictionary in the making
From Pradip Kumar Datta
A new Assamese dictionary – the ‘longest in the language produced so far’ – will be available to users and learners if the grand project sees the light of the day. A team of lexicographers has been working with a feverish pitch at the Jorhat-based office of the Asom Jatiya Prakash, a publication house, with the avowed purpose to compile the most comprehensive, unilingual and encyclopaedic dictionary in the Assamese language.

Lt Col Sivram Bora

By Ajit Patowary

Lt Col Sivram Bora was recognized as a medical
genius during his lifetime. He has left behind a rich legacy. But,
the people of his native place are oblivious of all these. However,
one of his great grandsons has come forward to resurrect his memories
by sponsoring a research project.

Bora, the first Assamese MB from Glasgow University, who qualified
for the Imperial Medical Service (IMS) in 1874, is argued to be the
first Indian to qualify for this service.

The recent move to resurrect his memories started with an article by
noted writer Kumudeswar Hazarika. It was published in The Assam
Tribune on March 27 last. It so moved his great grandson Rahul Roy, a
former president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India,
that he rushed to the city to meet Hazarika. Hazarika also has an
Assamese article on Lt Colonel Bora in one of his books — Chaiydha
Goraki Bisistha Asomiya: Smritir Surabhi.

Agar

100mm diameter petri dishes containing agar jelly for bacterial culture

Agar is a gelatinous substance chiefly used as a culture medium for microbiological work. It is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae or seaweed. It can be used as a laxative, a vegetarian gelatin substitute, a thickener for soups, in jellies, ice cream and Japanese desserts such as anmitsu, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for paper sizing fabrics. The word agar comes from the Malay word agar-agar (meaning jelly). It is also known as kanten or agal-agal (Ceylon agar). Chemically, agar is a polymer made up of subunits of the sugar galactose. Agar polysaccharides serve as the primary structural support for the algae's cell walls.

Top 10 Accidental Discoveries

Champagne

The history of Champagne dates to about 1700 AD and a monk cellarmaster at the Abbey of Hautvillers near the city of Reims, the "capital" of the Champagne region. As the story goes, a monk named Dom Pirignon was making wine for his colleagues when, unbeknownst to him, he failed to complete the fermentation before bottling and corking the wine. During the cold winter months the fermentation remained dormant, but when spring arrived the contents of the sealed bottles began to warm and fermentation resumed producing carbon dioxide that was trapped in the bottle. Later that spring Dom noticed that bottles of wine in the cellar were exploding, so he opened one that was intact and drank, declaring "Come quickly! I'm drinking stars!" Thus, Champagne was born and named after the region where it was discovered. Today Muet & Chandon make a Champagne named in honor of Dom Pirignon, the serendipitous inventor of Champagne. A bronze statute of the famous monk stands outside Mцet & Chandon in Epernay, France.

Battle of Kohima

The Battle of Kohima was a critical battle of the Burma Campaign in World War II, fought around the town of Kohima in northeast India from April 4 to June 22, 1944. It marked the limit of the Japanese offensive into India in 1944 and was described as the "Stalingrad of the East".

The battle took place in two stages. From April 3 to April 16, the Japanese attempted to capture Kohima ridge, a feature which dominated the road by which the major British and Indian troops at Imphal were supplied. At this point, the small British force at Kohima was relieved, and from April 18 to June 22, British and Indian reinforcements counter-attacked to drive the Japanese from the positions they had captured. The battle ended on June 22 when British and Indian troops from Kohima and Imphal met at Milestone 109, ending the siege of Imphal.

Look East Policy and development of North East

The agreement reached during the fifth India-ASEAN Summit held in Cebu, Phillippines on January 14, 2007 on the proposed Free Trade Agreement– which will be ready by July 2007– is a significant achievement of the Look East Policy. It is to be hoped that such a free trade agreement will open the door to new opportunities for the development of North East which has been stagnating due to lack of economic development for the last six decades. With the establishment of India-ASEAN Free Trade Area, the North East will no longer be handicapped by the Physical inaccessibility from the rest of India, the way it has been for the past six decades. Rather, it will be the centre of this vast Free Trade Area which may, in all probability, be one of the largest and most dynamic free trade areas of the world in the twenty-first century.

Brahmaputra River

The Brahmaputra^[1] is one of the major rivers of Asia.

From its origin in southwestern Tibet as the Yarlung (Imperial blood) River, it flows across southern Tibet where it is known as Dihang to break through the Himalayas in great gorges. It flows southwest through the Assam Valley and south through Bangladesh as the Jamuna. There it merges with the Ganga to form a vast delta. About 1,800 mi (2,900 km) long, the river is an important source for irrigation and transportation. Its upper course was long unknown, and its identity with the Zangbo was only established by exploration in 1884-86.

While most Indian and Bangladeshi rivers bear female names, this river has a rare male name, as it means "son of Brahma" in Sanskrit.

The Brahmaputra is navigable for most of its length. The lower reaches are sacred to Hindus. The river is prone to catastrophic flooding in spring when the Himalayan snows melt. It is also one of the few rivers in the world that exhibit a tidal bore.

We are in the process of sending 70 mosquito nets, 50 birthing kits to the households in that village and also three sewing machines for women in the community centre. Recently we sent around 50 baby blankets. You will be happy to know that the local people in Adelaide are putting their every effort to make our project strong and sustainable in future. We are also extremely thankful to the support we have been receiving from SPADE - an NGO in Assam. For more information : Please visit: http://sascwa. blogspot. Com. Suggestion and feedback is very much welcome.’

Noted educationists and other prominent citizens today urged the students who would be pursuing their studies outside Assam not to forget their roots, and to come back and contribute to the development of the State. At a function organised by the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) to felicitate the rank holders of the HSLC, High Madrassa and HS examinations, Vice Chancellor of Gauhati University Dr Amarjyoti Choudhury appealed to the meritorious students not to forget their native place once they go outside the State.

Miles Bronson: vanguard of Assamese language

By: Aziz-ul Haque

(The writer is pastor of Guwahati Baptist Church)

Courtesy: The Assam Tribune

Reverend Dr Miles Bronson, known as an ‘apostle to Assam’, played a very decisive role in the history of Assamese language and literature. It will be worthwhile to remember him on his 195th birth anniversary.
Miles Bronson was born on 22 July, 1812 at Norway in the state of New York, USA. He graduated from Hamilton Literature and Theological Institute in 1836. He was ordained for religious service on 29 April, 1836. The American Baptist Missionary Union appointed him as a missionary to Assam. He along with his wife Ruth Bronson reached Sadiya on 17 July, 1837 through waterways. He worked in Assam, stationing himself at Sadiya, Jaipur, Sivasagar, Nagaon and Guwahati. However, much of his work was devoted to Nagaon. He along with two other missionaries, Nathan Brown and Cyrus Barker, were instrumental in organising and founding the first Baptist church at Guwahati on 25 January 1845 and pioneered in establishing Assamese schools in different parts of the State. However, the most successful work of Bronson was founding the Orphan Institution at Nagaon in 1843. This was the first institution where orphans and destitute were taken care of and imparted education.
Bronson was a linguist par excellence. Very soon he could master Assamese and appreciated the beauty of this language. He was deeply involved in teaching, translating and preparing books in Assamese. A good number of his translated hymns are still used in many churches in Assam.

Golden Thread

Golden thread: Maria was fascinated
(Thanks to: KOUSHIK HAZARKA)
Maria Bassols De Conde was fascinated when she saw Assamese weavers
weaving the golden thread — Muga silk — on traditional handlooms of
Akhil Baishya of this silk village . She was overjoyed when
her husband Rafael De Conde De Saro, Ambassador of Spain in India,
bought her a Muga silk sari.
"It is fascinating. I will wear it in Spain," Ms. Maria told The
Hindu at the Deepsikha Handloom, a retail outlet selling traditional
Assamese silk items where the Spanish envoy and his wife did some
quick shopping.Owner of Deepsikha Handloom Dinesh Baishya did not forget to extend hospitality in the traditional Assamese way by gifting Gamocha
(traditional Assamese towel) to the Ambassador and his wife, who
were the first customers of the day. The De Conde couple, on a private three-day visit to Assam, admired the weaving skill of Assamese women whom they had come across at looms. Ms. Maria was surprised to know that one of the weavers,
Kabita Baishya, had learnt to weave only 20 days back. "She is already an expert!," said the envoy's wife when Ms. Kabita displayed a part of the traditional Assamese Muga chador that she had been weaving.

One Day… : A Story By Mridul Kumar Barooah

It rained in the later part of the night. The sweet rains. A pleasant time to sleep. But the alarm clock does not understand such things. It started ringing. The ring continued. Mitali woke up. She is accustomed to the ring. With one hand she switched off the alarm clock kept well within her reach, while with the other hand she nudged Raj who was in deep sleep by her side. With sleepy eyes, she said, “Raj get up. It is already five o’clock.”

Mahatma’s Letter To An Assamese Freedom Fighter

Dear Tayyebulla, Some mutual friend had told me of your loss before your letter was given to me on my arrival here that night at about 10 p.m. Why grieve over the inevitable? And death is the common measure of all that lives.

You have done well in not coming to me.

Sincerely,

Bapu
