Culture in Assam: Passing Phase


To day its 13 Jan 2014 and another Uruka of our Assamese Magh Bihu(Bhogali Bihu). I tend to see time flying by since last 53 summers of my life with un-fathom changes in our cultural heritage inflicted with lekuna of modern ways.The people are now more divided & has become self centred.
The bonhomie spirit of brotherhood in village community & in semi urban locality amongst us people, let alone in towns seems to impress we are becoming a dying culture. The reason so are many, like changes in heavy demographic by illegal migrants from Bangladesh, patronage by political parties to migrant,as porous international borders of Assam(India)not sealed till today, unemployment,no major industries , banning of local History & Geography subject in middle level schools in Assam by government, lack of will in present parenting and many more. Any way we as Assamese has to survive these passing phase in time and as citizen of Assam it is our responsibility to safeguard & teach young generation our heritage & culture. Yep, its Magh Bihu Uruka today, lets enjoy ... Happy Magh Bihu to all.
