The Crazy Muslim Autonomous Council demand
The demand for Autonomous Council is not new in the politics of Assam, but how ever what would one comment on the demand for Autonomous Muslim council by Rashul Haque , who is now in the “Congress Gharana”, after being expelled from AUDF for same demand he had raised. One can understand the political demand for a separate Bodoland demanded by the leaders of the BPF and supported by other leaders of the particular community. The demand for separate Bodoland has invited some fierce political reaction from the opposition specially because there are three cabinet ministers in the government.
Though morally one can no longer support any division of the state of Assam yet there is no any secular demand as made by Rashul Haque of the “Congress Gharana”. Though the congress had to make any sharp reaction on the demand made by the newly joined member, I wonder if one can expect that in the long run the Guru,s of the great Gharana will teach their “Sishyas” about how to sing the chorous of demands publicly. I also wonder if the Guru,s write and direct about any sensitive script to draw the attention of the people like in the television reality shows.
It won’t be any exaggeration to say that at times freedom of speech can create such utter nuisance in the name of building, and safeguarding the society or a community or a religion. At this juncture one can only wish the King had existed and the game would have been over for once and for all. A party that boosts about secularism practice has the least courage to stand against those unsecular people when it’s in their courtyard, had someone from other party raised the same issue like Rashul Haque, the congress would have been the first to make the hue and cry. In the last Rajya Sabha election people of the state had seen how Rumi Nath, and Kartik Sen Sinha ,the then BJP MLA, had suddenly become secular once it had supported the congress in the election, but till the other day they were hardcore BJP and thus were unsecular but once they had changed their “ GHARANA” they became holy and pious and their sins were washed away under the congress roof. Thus whatever now Rashul Haque says, he can do no SIN, because at this moment he is now safe. One can only wait and see if the public votes him and sings his chorus.

There is no height of imagination for artists, all are artists in their own right. However there are exceptional people who like to do things in an exceptional way, share the idea with others and allowing interpretation at the same time. The “AMPHIBIAN” a boat conceptualised by artist, cultural researcher and creative director, Indrani Baruah that sailed in the Brahamaputra gave immense pleasure to the onlookers and inquisitiveness to learn about the boat that cruised from Uzanbazar Ghat to Sualkuchi with 32 people on board. However the journey for all must have been the slowest journey ever taken in their life till date. The raft travelled along the water was hardly one-kilometer-per-hour...
Border minister Siddique Ahmed, made his maiden visit to Garbhanga village on Friday, in the Garbhanga Reserve Forest that is just 18 Kms from Lokhra near the national highway. The visit of the minister has given some light of hope to people living in the Assam-Meghalaya border where localities are deprived of proper medical facilities, electricity, schools and roads. The sad part of the story is that the neighbouring village on the Meghalay side has better ameneties such as electricity and schools. Due to the deprivation of the Assam Government and development programmes there are villages where Meghalay govt. has set up schools and provided water supply. Thus Assam losing its own...

Very soon the atmosphere of "Rongali Bihu" will be on the air, and hundreds of participants will be flocking in various Bihu dance workshops in the state. However, in a unique development, the dull reserve forest of Garbhanga, in Assam-Meghalaya border has also echoed with the beats of Bihu "Dhol" for the first time, however not enough to bring back the lives of hundreds of trees felled like Michael Jackson's video song "EARTH".What legs of strength and heart of passion does one needs to repeat and repeat the same Bihu dance steps for more than 6 hours at a stretch? Yes, this is more about passion and grabbing the opportunity that has knocked the village of Jalukpaham, in Garbhanga reserve...
Society is ever changing and the people like to see its reflection in any available form, be it through music, paintings, drama, film, literature etc. As we all like to see our reflection in the mirror there is no reason why we can’t appreciate and devote time for drama. Perhaps drama is the best way that can reflect our society in the best possible way, thus leaving deep impression in the mind and heart of the spectators and prompting them to ponder and introspect. Drama, though has evolved since long time has been a part and partial of our society, but in real terms it has yet to capture the imagination of our conservative society, just to talk about the Assamese society where acting...
