[Assam] A CORRECTION RE: A Question for The 'Second Tier' Proponents

[Dilip/Dil Deka]

" I definately (sic) would welcome a reform in the Governmental system. "
   -  I don't think there is anyone in the net who does not agree with the statement. Reform is needed not just for the inequity with the rest of India that is being discussed, but also for inequities within Assam - between rural and urban areas, between tribal and non-tribal areas, and between the haves and have-nots etc. etc.
   
  How do you bring about the reform? It will be a slow process. One that comes to mind right away - Make people aware of their rights as citizens through education and prepare them to participate in the reform by imparting proper education about the systems.
   
  My son went to Bangalore, India and did an internship with an organization called Janaagraha whose mission is to educate both the youth and adults on how democracy is supposed to function and how it has degenerated into clan system in India. I think Janaagraha is a good start and more of such effort is needed.

  *** Fair enough. That is far more than anything I ever achieved here :-): That Assam needs such comprehensive reforms.
  

  Now then, if you believe in Rajen's advice to engage in a productive discussion or debate, I hope you will share your own ideas about how you can imagine such reforms could be ushered in. But if you take all the others'  ARGUMENTATIVE approach and only object obsessively to what I proposed with reasons, then it will serve no purpose.
