P.C. Halder and Akhil Gogoi

My Most Dear and loving Simplimoina and Babua,

Long back Mai, you had created a Blog for me in which I had mind to write my daily tweets, as a small part of diary or otherwise, about me, we and my world around. Anyway, courtesy my procrastination, little hesitation to speak on me or lots of other excuses, it was delayed and except my earlier few write-ups and few letters to the editors my Blog has been unattended so far for a long time. Now as my daily list of long planning and with your mother’s full appreciations, whatever I plan and also with little frustrations on me, finally, I made up my mind just to tell you both, both two parts of my little heart, with whom I feel proud to be the father, will share my thoughts, if not daily, but intermittently or may be, frequently. You, specially, Mai, will have now to bear my bad and ‘fantastic’ English!
Mai, you will perhaps remember, the year, 2003, when we all dropped you in I P College , Delhi, a bundle of envelopes pasted with postal stamps were in your pack-up, with a hope we will exchange letters which will be, in future, regarded as letters from Daughter to Father and or from Father to Daughter. We have few precious letters from you, which still your Mon is preserving. The letters were really beautiful with your amazing mixture of all Assamese, English and Hindi. Your addressee, ‘ My Family’, including our doggy Don still reflects the strong bonding which we still are maintaining with all sincerity and spontaneity. In the pack-up of Baba too, we loaded with same sets of stamped envelopes and we are also fortunate parent to have at least one letter, till date, from him for your Mom’s precious record. But his some of the open pages of diaries are unique and according to your Mom these are no less than Chetan Bhagat.
See, if you can still start writing letters, may be occasionally. It is really classic.
Now let me see, what I can do with my effort, according to your Mon, my contacts to the world, trough you, in such unique epistolary form.

I was provoked to write to you just yesterday with two important events in Nagaon, two meetings, one a speech on Ananda Ram Dhekial Phukan memorial lecture by Shri P. C. Halder, the official interlocutor of the terrorist organizations and other a mammoth general meeting at Neherubali of Krishak Mukti Sangarm Samiti, attended by Akhil Gogoi in protest of big dam, transfer of land to Bangaldesh and for the farmers’ right.

NORTH-EAST INDIA : CHALLENGES RESPONSIBIITIES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH
Ananda Ram Dhekial Phukan Memorial lecture By P.C. Halder

As I told once Ananda Ram Dhekial Phukan, a legendary personality in the 19th century Assm dreamnt a modrn Assam, and was one of the few architects of in his contemporary times. Stdied in Culcutta, his thrive to place Assam and the independence of Asamese language is simply laudable. We all owe to him. He lived only for 29 years and during this short span of life he devoted his time for us.
The lecture of P.C.Halder is simply th narration of the present da problems and with sonme speculatiove suggestivities and simply without any practical recommendations. For a diplomats it is only expected. Mai is not surprising that Shri Pillai recently, just after his retirement from his service realized that the fasting of irom Sharmila in Manipur is justified and the Spcial Armed Force Act may be repealed from Maipur. Our poet DGP Harekrishna Deka too realized the human righ just after his retirement from his service. Anyway, you will Dhekial Phukan in due course, but I just feel that both of you are now 25 plus and 21 plus and you may recall your srvcice to the State. Our life must be meaningful for the cause of our being. Is not it ?


AKHIL GOGOI’S PUBLIC METING

Akhil Gogoi is only force in present day Assam now, who is fighting for the real cause of Assam and is organizing various awareness meeting in most of the townships of Assam. The meeting of Nagaon was attended by unprecedented gathering and was a success. But the bureaucrats and politician have there own logics to prevent such democratic protests. The respect to the protester is lot in oblivion in Assam. Had there been some police action, neither Anna Hajare nor Kejriwal and any others would have been brutally assaulted. But in Assam , everything is possible. Akhil Gogoi is lathicharged, four policemen carried him in most undignified manner publicly, tear gas shell was sprayed just directly to his face and was virtually dragged y the Police. The respect to the protestor or for that matter to the civil society is almost a total lost.
We only wish, let good sense prevail.

Yours loving

Deta
