Very happy to know that the association is continuing to do well and growing. I had the privilege of being the President of the association around 1981-82 when I was a Professor of IIT-Madras ( now Chennai). During Assam Movement, we published the Brahmaputra Beckons. You will be happy to know recently a book by me on the life & events in Majuli was published by Partridge India of Penguin-Random House Group :"An Insane Moon". I can send some details if you send me a contact email address.
With best wishes to you all, Devdas Kakati. 05 December 2014.
