With no one to help her and no financial security offered by the Pathini tea estate authority, the entire family decided on desperate course of action: Suicide.

But Nina was fortunate. Her marriage to a local businessman saved the family from the jaws of death. However, fortune hadn’t smile then on others in Pathini as of Nina. Some members of other laborers’ families died of starvation.

Hi everyone!

Finally, I got back home yesterday after the Assam 2001 convention and a short vacation in New Jersey.

For the last few month's ASEB (Assam State Electricity Board) has been resorting to erratic power supply for reasons known to everybody. But more effectively, this phenomenon is seen during the evening hours when college and school students need to utilize the evening hours in serious studying. Whatsoever, situation is worse that one could possibly think of. One can also hear babies crying under the sweltering environment without getting cool air and water. Not to mention about those executives, who still would like to carry on with their assignments at home with the help of their computers.

27 July is the martyrs’ day of the liberation struggle of Assam. This day is a memorable day of the supreme sacrifice of the finest and bravest progeny of our motherland Assam. This land of ours have been stained with the blood of our freedom fighters readily sacrificing their lives to enemy attacks. The defiant common citizens of our nation also have suffered untold misery and even have given their lives supporting our freedom struggle.
