I strongly feel that a historic entity like Assam Oil should be preserved. Afterall, we proudly boast of it as the oldest refinery of Asia, established way back in 1901. Unfortunately, the oil production in Assam has been declining steadily because of the prolonged insurgency in Assam and other parts of North-East India. But there is another reason to it, a much more prominent one.
North-East has always been in news for demand of separate states by many small or big tribes there. Most tribes have their own autonomous councils which control many social welfare departments apart from police, judiciary and other central government departments. Still, there are reports of agitation hovering demands of separate states. It must be mentioned here that, apart from Manipur and Sikkim, all other states were once a district of Assam. One by one, many states were created carving out areas from Assam.
I had found that Google stopped showing Jammu & Kashmir and Arunachal as a part of India. Infact, Google was playing this dirty game for a long time. It was showing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of India to the Indians, a disputed land to the world, and a part of China to the Chinese. I read this in a mail sent by Rajat sir and was shocked!
The Mahatma was assassinated by a man called Nathuram Godse. After he shot him, instead of running away, he stood his ground and surrendered. He said, "No one should think that Gandhi was killed by a madman"
Every system needs injection of new blood for renewal. In the past, may it be the freedom struggle, Indira Gandhi’s battle against the Syndicate, the Jayaprakash Narayan movement, student agitations against reservations, or the intellectual appeal of ideology that keeps some political parties alive at the ground levels- it has always been carried out by new people.
