Assamese women’s Taliban Act
Talibans and their Law have earned a bad name through out the world of the civil society, and there is no denying their brutal attitude is as horrible as anyone can imagine. Today the synonym of Taliban is something that is extreme and inhumane and unexpectable to the civil society. So what about a section of Assamese women that is acting TALIBANS in the civilized street and bringing shame to the Assamese community as a whole.
Here the reference is being made to the recent incidents of women beating up girls and women in public place and in front of camera without even paying the least respect for the women community. The incidents are of Golaghat and Tezpur some time back. All actions self proclaiming being sentinels of the civil society and doing the duty of a moral army. Sorry to use the word Taliban, I wish some more harsh word could have been found in the dictionary to depict a section of Assamese women trying to project their holiness in the society by taking brutal actions against alleged women sex workers.
The latest incident of a section of so called educated Assamese women is assaulting a helpless Mizo Girl on the streets of Guwahati, in broad daylight. The girl from our neighboring state was kicked, punched and canned in presence of a good crowd that remained silent spectators. The fault of the girl was that she was under the influence of Alcohol and had knocked the doors of a wrong house in the early morning hours.With these actions we have lost the right to complain against any racial abuses in the Capital city of India or in any part of the world done to the students of the North East. I wonder if people should get angry if someone from mainland India calls us “Junglee” after seeing the visuals of public assault of the helpless Mizo Girl on the streets of the gate way of the North East. We have to accept the tag of “JUNGLEE” or change the society’s outlook forever.
One could not have imagine in their wildest dreams that a section of Assamese women can behave like vampires, their actions against the Mizo girl was no less than sucking blood that also someone from their own women community. Today it seems women have become the biggest enemy of women and their actions of jealousy and hypocrisy can cause extreme damage at any point of time. Some short of psychotherapy awareness program is needed for these literate people to change their actions. The sad part is that the general Assamese women have a bad impression about girls coming from hill states and have always complained against their dress code. However it is not to advocate any short of indecency in dressing sense or social behaviour, but there should be some flexibility in our thoughts to understand their way of life.

People all over the world along with the state of Assam, today celebrated the world environment day, with much attention from the media and real and fake environment lovers. What for than those who give a damn to this celebration and ridicule it the very next day, including forest officials, so called the boss of the jungles. So, promises are only meant to be broken and it is nothing strange. Talking about forest protection and environment concern only looks good in grand meetings and not so much on practical ground. The easiest thing in this world to do is to criticise and that is what I am doing, but I know this should not cross the limit. However sometimes extreme things...

Whatever had been the distribution of the portfolio in the hatric Congress government, the fact that Dr. Himanta Bishwa Sharma, was given the education including health portfolio, was enough for the general people to be happy, first to see some more progress in the health department and expecting the same in the Education department which is considered being one of the worst department in the state. After the new portfolio as education minister, perhaps the education department officials had made their minds to face the music of the minister but were little casual too. Thus the minister’s sudden visit to the DPI office at Kahilipara had come as a big surprise to the ever casual and...
Assam’s hatric Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, at a press conference on Tuesday said that Akhil Gogoi's protest on 22nd June, against eviction drive resembles to maoist tactics and this was evident from the fact that the protestors were carrying sticks and stone on their hands. Though the Chief Minister didn’t link directly Akhil Gogoi to the maoist, he did say that there are members in the Krisak Mukti Sangram Samity organization having maoist links. He had referred about two persons that were arrested last year.
It is time to make sure that while on protest carrying sticks in hands will resemble a maoist protest. Thus anywhere in the world if protestors clash with the police...
The Tarun Gogoi led government, have managed to come to power for the third time, and perhaps there was a lot of expectations from the people. The chief minister had himself said that the absence of opposition I the assembly means more responsibility and sincerity for the congress government, and thus no scope for anarchy. No doubt The people in general take the words of Tarun Gogoi at face value for his good image, but for a section of people, never in their wildest dreams they might have imagined what waited ahead of the new Government would be a hell raiser that would shake them mentally, and boil their bloods to the extreme.

After the congress Tsunami in the 20011 election that left the political opposition horror-struck, now the million dollar question is about the functioning of the new government. Will the congress govern wisely? No Socrates and thus no philosopher kings, yet some feel that congress will do justice and corruption level will come down to some extent as because the congress has already looted for 10 years, on the other hand some feels, had the AGP came to power, corruption would have started right from the word “GO”. Million people with million minds will have various opinions, but in general people want a corruption free government and less burden of tax. However a taxi driver...
The Congress under the leadership of Tarun Gogoi, may have created history in the 2011 election but alongside more negative history have been written too. The marginalization of the AGP and the rise of AIUDF, which is perhaps of more serious concern in nature for the state of Assam.
The fact that Tarun Gogoi had once said “Who is Baddaruddin” might have yielded good results for the congress but nevertheless it had demoralized the AIUDF, instead the AIUDF had hit congress harder than any one had expected. No doubt that the AIUDF is a sister party of the Congress and the sentiments of the scrapping of the IMDT had paved its way for revolting against the congress. Thus Tarun...
The comeback of congress to regain power for the third time in Assam under the leadership of Tarun Gogoi was not at all unexpected, but the margin of the result was unexpected by and large.

But the people of the state had more surprise for the congress that no one had imagined; Exit polls had feared to cross the mark of 70 presuming it would be bias to go beyond the limited mark. Congress party workers at Rajiv Bhawan were stunt to see...
