[Assam] Ramayana in Comic form

>Coming to your original rant ,  If you are so concerned with Bangla font in Assamnet,  why are you writing in English .. in Roman font ?  How strange ! 

>Do you know about Unicode? The Bangla system sucked the scope of Assamese Unicode. CDAC has done few. Personally I >developed one, with Font Embeding Technology too.

>Try to look about the Unicode font's back end. Then you will understand.

Just to help you --

>You are even publishing a news paper in English !

>Is it an offence? 

No.  But yout took  an offence when  Sushanta's post include a couple of Bangla font !  What a logic !

>I can speak & write Bangla & Oriya well, not being to either. But do you? 

Not Oriya  but yes,  Assamese and Hindi.

>Do the maximum, living in Assam? 

Those who are in Brahpaputra valley --- yes.  Those in Barak - No,  just the way Gorkhas in Darjeeling district of WB  do not know Bengali. There are many Bodo in Bodo dominated areas who do not speak Assamese.     
 Again ,  it is driven my market force --- the need.

>Learning other language is always good, which Bangla people never tried, trying and will not also. 

-- Then how come Sushanta writes in Prantik ?  Try to explain and you will know your arguments are hollow.

>They are just ticking into the old man.. Rabindra.

--  Rabindra Nath Tagore was a great poet.  His works have been  translated in many different languages. One life is not enough to digest even a section of his works.  Even Boston public library has works of Rabindranath.  He is far above  comments of one Mr Dhruba Jyoti Deka .   That merely demonstrates your cheap mentality.

>I have read lots of Bangla books. 

I doubt you have read ANY decent book.

>How many Bengalis read Assamese book? Do you?

Yes I do.  And I have written articles in Assamese magazines. My aunt has translated  Assamese novel to Bengali. 
And we do not pass any comment against Lakshminath Bezbarua or JyotiPrasad or contemporary writers like Home Borgohain or Hiren Gohain.  
 You have anything more to say ?

> You can go and open an Assamese medium school any where in India .... no one will oppose you  , trust me. 
> The question is did you ever try ?
>  
> There are Tamil and Telugu Medium school in Mumbai, Maharashtra . I personally know about  one such school in Matunga area in Mumbai.
> There are Nepali and Urdu medium school in WB   and Nepali and Urdu both are RECOGNIZED  medium by Govt. of WB
> There is Bengali medium school in Bihar.
>  
> The Assamese community in Mumbai celebrates Bihu every year . Does any Shiv Sena zealot protest -- why Assamese culture in Maharashtra ?  The same is true everywhere in India and even abroad.
> All these are driven by  market demand.

> >>>One who lives in Bengal is Bengali, one who lives in Bihar is Bihari, one who lives in Orissa is Oriya, one who lives is Tamilnadu is Tamil, one who lives in Punjab is Punjabi,.... then why the one who lives in Assam is still bengali or Bihari or Punjabi
>  
> ---  In many occassions C'da has said "I am an American Citizen of Assamese ethnicity" . Do you take objection to that ?  Does the Assameses folks living in Maharashtra, Orissa, Bengal, Bihar forgo Bihu celebration ?  Do they say I am Marathi, I am Bihari etc.  By your definition,  there are very few members in this Assamnet , which you want to protect from other linguistic groups,  who are Assamese -- they are Australians, Americans, Europeans, Marathi etc.  So your basic argument on protecting Assamnet does not exist anymore.
> You are mixing two things --  Residency or Domicile  and language.

> Sushanta has contributed a lot more in this net then you  and from the information I have , he writes in Assamese media too.

> It is attitude like this which has alieneted the Khasis, Mizos , Nagas  and now Bodos.

> I am not going to reply any of your rant but if you do not want to see a fragmented Assam, I suggest Grow up.
