Do you know the Physicist Abdus Salam.... he unified Electromagnetism and weak interaction and got the nobel prize... he was from un-devided India and after the dividion he was in Pakistan... in Itali there is an Institute named "Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics" he opened the way to unify all the forces of nature... one of the greatest scientist world ever had.... I'm sure ur parents were his fan and named u after him.... I am sure... I guess u would have a natural affection towards Physics... or u r in Physics... m I right?

Govt introduces Bill on tech varsity

Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Dec 8 – The State Government has tabled a Bill to establish an affiliating university of science and technology in Guwahati. The Assam Science and Technology University Bill, 2009, states that it seeks to establish a university exclusively for science and technical education by the name of ‘Assam Science and Technical University’ in Guwahati to boost science and technical education in the State, more precisely in the NE region.

The university will be affiliating in nature. All the engineering institutions offering degree and diploma in various branches of engineering in the State, including the private sector ones, shall be affiliated to it.

The university shall have its Court, Executive Council, Academic Council, Postgraduate Board, Undergraduate Board, Finance Committee, Selection Committee and such other authorities as may be declared by the statutes to be the authorities ofthe university, states the Bill.

The Governor of Assam shall be the chancellor of the university, while its Vice-Chancellor shall be appointed by the Chancellor on the recommendation of an Advisory Board constituted by the Chancellor for the purpose.

This Advisory Board will consist of three members of whom one shall be nominated by the State Government, one member to be nominated by the Chancellor and the rest one to be elected by the Executive Council. The Chancellor shall also appoint one of them as chairman of the Board.

The Vice-Chancellor shall be the principal executive and academic officer of the university. He shall be the ex-officio chairman of the Executive Council, the Academic Council, the Postgraduate Board, the Undergraduate Board, the Finance Committee and the Selection Committee.

He shall preside over all the meetings of the court and also the convocation, in the absence of the Chancellor. He shall be entitled to be present at and to address any meeting of any authority or committee ofthe university.

The Vice-Chancellor shall have the powers of convening the meeting of the Court, the Executive Council, the Postgraduate Board, the Undergraduate Board, the Finance Committee and the Selection Committee, whenever he finds it necessary.

However, the decision of the Chancellor on “whether any person has duly been elected, appointed, chosen or nominated as, or is entitled to be, a member of any authority or body ofthe University or whether any decision of any of the authorities or bodies or of the Vice-Chancellor of the University is in conformity with this Act,… shall be final.”

The Postgraduate Board, among others, shall have the power to recommend to the Academic Council, the pattern of postgraduate courses, the examination to be held for such courses and for their revision. It shall also have the power to approve the curricula and syllabi for the post-graduate courses and to modify them whenever needed.

It shall also have the power to make recommendations to the Executive Council for the institution of posts of teachers required for the postgraduate courses under the university and for the recognition of persons as teachers for any other course, and regarding their emoluments, duties and terms and conditions of their services.

Similarly, the Undergraduate Board shall have the power to recommend to the Academic Council the pattern of courses and examinations for the undergraduate courses and the revision thereof.

It too shall have the power to make recommendations to the Executive Council for the institution of professorships, readerships, lecturerships or other posts of teachers required for the undergraduate courses in the colleges and for the recognition of person as teachers for such courses and regarding their emoluments, duties and terms and conditions of services, the Bill states.

Dear Friends

The Assam Tribune, December 6, 2009

Climate Change or Climate Justice in the Northeast?

Walter Fernandes

The Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP 15) beginning at Copenhagen on December 7, 2009 is the most important COP after the Kyoto Protocol of 1997. In that protocol the rich countries made a commitment to reduce by 5.2 percent by 2012 with 1990 as the base, their emission of four greenhouse gases (GHG) that damage the ozone layer and cause climate change. But all of them have backtracked on it and are putting pressure on India, China, Brazil and South Africa to reduce their GHG emissions. Because of such pressure the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting was turned into a climate change meeting. There was pressure on India during the G-8 summit to reduce its carbon emissions. President Obama phoned to Dr Manmohan Singh on 1st December.

The rich countries are thus trying to escape their responsibility. They focus on emission reduction and ignore resource sharing. But more and more analysts recognise that climate change is a development issue that questions the fossil fuel based model which the world has known for two centuries. The GHG emissions it causes are threatening the earth’s sustainability but the rich countries do not want to change their consumerist lifestyle that depends on it. So they are trying to shift the burden to the poor.

Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) is one of their ways out of the Kyoto protocol. A country gets points for emission reduction according to the number of projects it has under it. That is good in itself but the rich countries have found a subterfuge by inserting a clause that allows them to get points for emission reduction by funding CDM projects in poor countries without changing their own lifestyle. The first CDM is low emission technology. Some rich countries transfer their outdated technology to the poor because it is less GHG emitting than what they have at present but it is not clean.

More important are carbon sinks that are forests or greenery meant to absorb the GHG emissions. The carbon sinks do not have to be in the polluter’s region or continent. For example, Northeast India has been identified as a possible carbon sink for Europe. It is never mentioned explicitly but during the negotiations a proposal is made every now and then to turn this biodiversity rich region into a carbon sink. Most carbon sinks are commercial monoculture forests. The Northeast is one of the world’s 25 mega-biodiversity zones. So turning it into a carbon sink will involve planting a series of commercial forests that will destroy the biodiversity on which is based the identity and livelihoods of the people of the region. This aspect is ignored in the international negotiations that treat it as a CDM.

That brings two facets of the justice issue to the fore. The first is international justice. The fossil fuel based development model and overconsumption of resources by the rich is responsible for the problem. But they are trying to shift the burden to bigger countries in the developing world that want to invest in their own development. The USA with 6 percent of the world’s population contributes 25 percent of its GHG emissions. Europe and USA account for 20 percent of the population and for 80 percent of its emissions. India, whose per capita emissions are about a hundredth of those of the USA and less than a fiftieth of Europe, is asked to reduce them because in recent years it has been investing in projects that are increasing GHG emissions.

The second issue is justice within the poor countries. The most vulnerable groups like the agricultural labourers, fish workers and small farmers do not leave their “carbon footprints” behind i.e. they do not contribute to GHG emissions. If they do, they are “survival emissions” such as methane gas produced by paddy cultivation and animal husbandry while the rich countries and the Indian middle and upper classes produce “luxury emissions” through fossil fuel and synthetic materials. These vulnerable groups, particularly women among them pay the highest price of climate change but they are ignored in the negotiations.

This issue is crucial for India where 70 percent of the population depends on climate sensitive sectors like agriculture and fisheries. Climate change has enormous implications for them particularly for the Northeast which is one of the world’s 25 mega-biodiversity zones but has become a biodiversity hotspot in which biodiversity is being destroyed fast. One of its impacts is greater intensity and frequency of floods and droughts. The landless, fish workers and small farmers are its worst victims. Turning the region into a carbon sink will destroy it further. But the Government of India seems to have accepted commercial monoculture as a CDM. For example, the Bhadrachalam Paper Mill in Andhra Pradesh has planted eucalyptus for raw material on 300 acres of land taken from the tribals. That has impoverished the tribes. So for sheer survival they resort to the only alternative available to them of overexploiting the forests around them for sale as timber or firewood. That damages the environment much more than what the paper mill claims to preserve. But the eucalyptus plantation that is responsible for their impoverishment and environmental degradation has been declared a CDM and gains points for it.

The Northeast can face a similar situation. If this policy is followed in the region and its people are impoverished and forced to overexploit the resources for survival, they will be declared enemies of nature. Consumerism of the rich nations and of the middle and upper classes in poor countries has caused the problem. These classes invest in more and more vehicles. The state is investing on coal-based GHG emission producing thermal power plants. The 48 major dams it is planning in the Northeast will destroy its biodiversity and impoverish its people. Scarcity of resources will be one of its consequences. That will result in competition for scarce resources and more ethnic conflicts.

These justice issues do not figure in the climate change negotiations. Awareness of climate change is low in the region though it is paying a high price for it. Time has come for persons committed to justice to join hands to demand an equitable climate justice policy that goes beyond emission reduction and protects and develops people’s livelihoods. The region has to accept the challenge of evolving a climate justice based development model that creates jobs for its estimated 40 lakh unemployed backlog and for the youth coming out of its universities, while preserving its resources and avoiding further damage to the environment.

Dear
Bikram I understand your opinion. But, while the team traveled Barak Valley, for the first time in the history they talked in a different language. You will find in previous post from Pradip (HERE) that they even asked Bengali writers to submit their writings in Bengali, which the AXX will translate and propagate in Assamese. This is a great recognition.
I've nothing to say against your suggestion that the AXX should be called as Assamese Sahitya" Sabha. But, they talked in a different language.They met with all the leading Bengai Intellectual there and and told that the AXX is a organisation not for Assamese only , but of all the linguistic groups of the state. They even paid tribute to the Language Martyrs there. They criticized the government for not following the Regional languages law of the land and trying to impose Assamese in the Barak Valley. All these statement appeared in the Bengali Dailies with Big Head lines.

You again said, "Did you learn Assamese because somebody put a pistol on your head? No! You learned, because you enjoy it!" Yes , I do agree with you. There are hundreds of Bengalis who love to learn a sweet language like Assamese. I once answered on one of my friends quarries from barak Valley that, I learned Assamese so fast because it's another sweet language like URDU.
But, Bikram there was history of imposing. EVen URDU was opposed in Bangladesh, you know.That's why we failed to keep all the NE states together. Though Barak Valley remains as the part of the state, there are constant fear of imposing Assamese there. So much so that people like me, too, get criticized for being (Truly speaking) Dalals of Assamese!
Even if you check Pradip's latest post on the topic in his blog you will find a comment from a Anonymous, which will proof the existence of such fear complex.
When People of Barak Valley fought for the university a good section of Assamese from the Brahmaputra Valley opposed the demand. Union Government settled the dispute with creation of Tezpur University on the same day same year. They didn't dared to choose different dates even.
Now, there are strong resistance from Bengali Chauvinists there for not including Assamese as a subject in the Post Graduate level in AU. This oposition is so much strong that they even didn't introduced Bengali as a medium of instruction in Graduation level, fearing that this will open a pandora box for other languages including Assamese. Yake Koy Nijor Nak Kati Anor Jatra Bhongo.

You, please, recognize the reality that Benaglis might learn Assamese, they might talk Assamese as secondary language, but they will never give up there Bengali identity. They are proud of this identity. If you try to call them Assamese they will just resist and it will increase the Disunity and distance and, you please understand, the fear complexity.
So, I think AXX has taken up just a right cause with a right style and strategy.
So, If I want to see Assamese included in the AU syllabus I'll have to raise demand for introduction of Bengali in other universities of the state from my core of heart. And so will You all have to do. DU has introduced Hindi from this year and demand for Bengali is gaining ground. Only yesterday, Nikhil Bharat Bongo Xahityo O Xonskti Xommelon accepted a resolution in this line in there biannual conference at Dibrugarh.
If we do not agree to settle the dispute mutually
tussle will again take place, But I think, all of us become matured enough .
And leaned how to open road ahead for our own selves without 'ANOR NAK KATI'
I hope you will understand my points. I might agree with you on all the points. But, these will not transformed in reality.

Sushanta and others,

The introduction statement of "Asam Sahitya Sabha" states that "The Asam Sahitya Sabha (অসম সাহিত্য সভা) was founded in 1917 in Assam, India to promote the culture of Assam and Assamese literature". My personal opinion is that the name of the organization is actually a misnomer... it should be "Assamese Sahitya" Sabha. If you look at the list of its presidents, it always honours with that esteem position ONLY to those who have significant contribution to 'Oxomiya Xahityo' (Assamese Literature) also supports my statement. I beleive there is nothing wrong in it.

Also note that in the news item, it is stated that it wants to form the 'Great Assamese Nation'. The question is what is it?

The organization assumes that 'all the resident of the state' can speak 'Assamese' to some degree and uses it as the primary inter-personal or public speaking language. It attempts to bind people of different 'ethno-linguistic' groups of the state with 'Assamese language'. NOTE that the current president Rong Bong Terang is a 'Karbi' by ethnicity, and probably speaks Karbi with people of his own clan. However, he is a big name is Assamese Literature. In fact, he examplifies what the organization itself wants to achieve. This is what they are probably refering to by 'Great Assamese Nation'... people of differnt 'ethno-linguistic' groups including Bengalis of Barak Valley, speaking a basic level of Assamese, may be as a secondary or tertiary language, can communicate in a unified manner to build a strong Assam.

Now, the problem arises, when the organization 'demands' something like opening Assamese dept in Assam University. Language can not be imposed on anybody. Did you learn Assamese because somebody put a pistol on your head? No! You learned, because you enjoy it!

Their 'Sadhbhavana Yatra' is a welcome move. I am not sure what grass-root level steps they are taking to create a sustained 'sadbhavana'.

Cheers,

Bikram

The purpose of ADI is to support the advancement of various development initiatives in Assam. The initiave for the organization came about in Guwahati on May 15,2009, when a diverse group of like- minded people participated in a discussion forum to dedicate themselves to activities for the welfare of Assam and her people. Subsequently, further discussions took place at individual and smaller group levels with various enthusiasts and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to consolidate the ideas. The primary emphasis of ADI will be on involvement of youths of Assam and the North East region.

Thanks to Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS) for providing ADI an opportunity and a platform to present its plans to a wider audience in NEIIM 2010 ( www.neiim2010.com).

OBJECTIVES:

ADI will facilitate the developmental processes of various initiatives from concept through execution, including long term operation in an advisory role. However, ADI will not participate in direct investment and management of the initiatives. With this specific approach in mind, the following objectives are outlined (applicable for any initiatives):

Identify and agree upon the Subject Areas where the group can make a difference,
Create Focus Groups on each subject area, including SMEs, and experienced business personnel,
Create Data Bank for each subject areas through research information and from public domain
Analyse Data, identify success and failure patterns,
Use analytical results to provide expert advice, where necessary.

NEIIM 2010 : Social Evening, Cultural function, Bonfire & Dinner

Friends,

You will be pleased to know that a social get-together is being organised on 11 January 2010 for the delegates of North East India International Meet (NEIIM 2010). The venue chosen for this gala evening is the beautiful, well maintained Greenwood Resort. This is a classic example of how a local lady entrepreneur can excel with hard work and business acumen. Top class accommodation is also available at the Greenwood Resort. Any delegate interested to stay at the resort may let us know for discounted rates.

Greenwood resort is conveniently located on the outskirts of Guwahati city, very near to Khanapara area of Guwahati city. It has ample parking space and beautiful lawns, a swimming pool and is surrounded by green hills.

On the evening of 11 January 2010 the get-together will start at 6 pm. There will be a cultural function representing all the 8 NE States. It will be followed by a dinner of ethnic dishes. Also we have arranged for bonfire.

Delegates will be able to enjoy the cultural function by sitting in open air or from under a covered roof. Delegates will not be confined to one room during the cultural function rather they will get enough space to stroll around and network with each other. Well stocked paid bars will also be available.

Friends, let us make this evening a memorable one. We are sure this evening will be an opportunity to meet old friends who are scattered across the globe and also an opportunity to make new friends and go back home with sweet memories.

Cheers !

Dear
Sri Noor
( I never right Mr or Ms)
I couldn't understood what made you write this post on 'Bongalmara'. Possibly I've missed some of you. Upen Rabha Hakacham, came to our college few� days back as speaker in a seminar. There, he made an interesting comment.
No one in this state will find any name related with the term 'Axomiya'. But, one will find "Bhot Jholiokiy' 'Moran Jholokiya' 'Bongali Era' etc. According to him these name only suggest that Benglais are Xilongiyas in this sate, even older from some pure Assamese of these days. So , I think these name should be there as they are. Not Necessarily, the 'Bongal' part of these name suggest 'Benglai' . 'Bongal' in Assamese is what� 'Yowan' ( JOBON) in sanskrit . Means Foreigner.� So, a Chinese may be 'Bongal' in Assamese language. We the Bengalis should not be worried for that.

Many villages can be found with the same name. One particular name that evinced my interest is Bongalmara. There is one near Bihpuria,Dist Lakhimpur another near Dharamtul Dist Morigaon and surely there are more.An important landmark in Jorhat is called Bongalpukhuri.

I suspect that the villages are so named to commemorate the display of valour of the villagers in the past.

Bhalukmari,Kukurmara,Gorumara,

Goroimari is understandable but we still do not have a Paki-mara village in India.

Dharna in Maligaon is welcome. I would like to request AXX to take up with concerned authorities/public and consider re-naming the villages.

That will be an important milestone on the road to better ties.

I agree with Dr. Das.... most of these name must be older than 1961. And as he mentioned "bongal" meant foreigners like the British, Mongals and Maans (Burmese) in those village names.

Dear Friends,
Please dont mistake all name as Bengali mara etc that they were named after Bengali people..Earlier BONGAL mean any foreigner away from Kamrup/Kamatapur. Since even at the time of kingdom, till 1826, Present Bangladesh was with then Kamrup, As mahapurux Shankardeb kept visiting till Present Orissa(again Odissa), Kanauj, and Present bengal was never treated as something separate, the words Bongal was exclusively used for Maan(Burmese),Mughals and British of East India Co.Let the history have their names accordingly to the battle took place either against British,Burmese or Mughals.I dont feel it to be offended by any Bengali literate person.Ancient people was more wise as they never had such discriminating feelings like of our today! right Sirs?

The issue raised by Mr.A. Noor in his letter is laudable.I had also been wondering in the last few years why the name of a particular place is "Bongalmara".The name of the place in Jorhat District is actually perhaps,"Bongalkatapukhuri"(not "Bongalpukhuri").Mr. Noor's suspicion with regard to naming of those places appears to be correct.As such, request made by Mr. Noor for renaming of those places is justified.When I heard the name "Bongalkatapukhuri" for the first time, I also used to visualize that a good number of people of a particular linguistic community were beheaded & thrown in that pond(pukhuri) during 1961.But if I don't mention the name of Late Benudhar Saikia of Nagaon, some readers would never know how he protected the people of a particular linguistic community during 1961.Late Saikia contacted the then West Bengal Government & paved the way for safe passage of about three hundred people of "Tanti" community speaking that particular language, from Assam to West Bengal's Fulia District.In Haiborgaon where he resided, he also saved many people speaking that particular language including some of my relatives, from the wrath of those linguistic chauvinists with tremendous courage.Perhaps, there were very few good people like Late Benudhar Saikia of Nagaon, in Assam during the language disturbance during 1961.I still wonder how many people in Assam expressed anguish & condolences when Dr.Rabi Mitra, a world-famous scientist was stoned to death, Dr.Anjan Chakraborty of GMCH & Gautam Das Sarma of Khanapara Veterinary College was murdered by some bastards/linguistic chauvinists.I did not know what their faults were.

A corrigendum : In my last letter, please read Gautam Das Sarma of Gauhati Engineering College (instead of Khanapara Veterinary College).The mistake made therein was inadvertent and is therefore, very much regretted.
