--Use of nasty slang word is offensive-- It is the handiwork of some ignorant people, or else how can anyone justify the use of the word 'Miyan' in an organisation called 'Asom Miyan Parishad' (AMP). Miyan is a slang term used to denote Bangladeshi Muslims. I request the President, Secretary and all concerned to change the name of this organisation as 'Asom Muslim Parishad' or 'Asom Mohammedan Parishad'.
