Sharing An Assamese Story Online

Submitted by admin on Sun, 11/30/2008 - 17:36

Dear friends,

We would like to share with you an Assamese children story online. Inspired by Wahid Saleh of the Netherlands and with support from Rajen Baruah of Houston , Texas , this story has been developed primarily for the school children and their teachers. It is also expected that this will be a language learning tool for the non resident staying away from their motherland. It took almost a year of effort to complete this story and we hope that our modest effort will enrich the Assamese language.

Re: “Gautom Medhi - a Successfull Assamese  Entrepreneur in the USA”

As an Assamese, I am really proud to know about Mr. Medhi. This not because he’s an NRI or very well educated. This is because he has choosen a career which most of the Assamese don’t dare to. Daring to establish his own venture shows how determined and self-condident he is. Wish you all the very best sir. It would be really nice to know more about your future plans and endeavors.

Americans picked the right man on November 4th, not because he is qualified and soulful, which he is and not because he is committed and brilliant, which he is, but because he knows how to create a phenomenal whole out of a thousand little pieces. Passionate politicians, big arguments and the willingness to make the case for radical change: these are the ingredients that have reconnected politics to the public in America.
