[Assam] Appeal for donation of books to Assam Association, Delhi library

[Barua25]

Re: [Assam] Appeal for donation of books to Assam AssociatThanks and well noted!!
My comments are however not supposed to reflect anyway on Monoj and others who are working hard to establish  the Xongkordew Bhowon in Delhi.
My comments are mainly towards the Oxom Xahityo Xobha and the Asamese literary intellengtia (whatever left of them) who has failed to guide the common Assamese people.

Monoj:
Regarding Book Donation, many people from here would like to donate books from here if someone can arrange the shipping by ses. Also you need to specify what type of books you need. I don't think you would like to receive technical books.

  *** Aw c'mon Rajen. Oxomiya pronunciations are not legitimate enough. That is why. Didn't you know? Why do you think Assam's standard bearers, such as the AT, translates Oxomiya sounds to Sanskrit ones first, before they transliterate them. And sounds they are unable to,easily, that is, for example the 'xo' sound so unique to the Assamese language, they either floow the Bengali or the Hindi equivalents, no doubt because those are MORE legitimate than Oxomiya sounds.


  Is that so hard to process, really?


  Give our good friends Manoj or Mohan a break, would ya? When have we ever pronounced Xonkordeu as Xonkordeu. That is for illiterate 'gaonlia' types. The Oxomiya literati does it the way literate people ought to: as Sankardeva!


  Subserviently yours,
