Assamese younger generation has gone back 25 years as a result of the Assam Movement;AASU's movements,ULFA's independent Assam slogan etc.The long 25 years struggle taught us to be millionaire overnight,90 percent Assamese boys and girls do not respect seniors and are busy in entertainment and amusements.They never follow command.At present Assamese society is the most indiscipline in India.But the Bodos have been developing very fast, as they follow leadership,they are most disciplined and are united .
