Ulfa’s Turning Point

For a while now, negotiations between PCG and GOI for starting a direct dialogue between GOI and ULFA have naturally heightened Assamese expectation for an early end to the more than a quarter century of insurgency initiated by ULFA. How dearly the people of Assam harbor the dream that a new chapter of peace and prosperity will begin soon.

  On this day (15/10/77) 29 years ago, Jayanta Hazarika suddenly left us all in tears and left for the Heavenly Abode. Devastated as we were then, today we remember his scintillating personality with great fondness and a sense of loss. Time has proved over and over again that the void left by the sudden premature demise of Jayanta Hazarika (Rana) at the age of 34 on 15 October, 1977, can never be filled. The memories of his face with childlike innocence and the heart, big enough to shower love on everybody, still fill me up when I think of him.
