Dr Sanat Kumar Saha once came across this quote and it had left a deep & profound impact on him. However, he claims that as his life evolves, he feels ‘judgment’ itself is unnecessary. As he retrospect, he gets a better understanding about himself and others by looking back and believing that his most defining moments of struggles were experienced by keeping himself open towards new experiences. At the age of about 65 and serving currently as the Honorary Member (Eminent Scientist), West Bengal State Council of Higher Education, Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal, he certainly has a lot of experience in his repository.

REDUCE TO ASHES 

Is there any trace of an omen? A  lightening  strike  had  reduced  to  ashes  of  the  bachelors  dormitory, owned  by  former Chief  Minister Mukul Sangma at Gambegre in the Garo Hills.  The “Nok-Achik” is a  dormitory  of  bachelors,  who  among  themselves  retreat  in  the  evenings  in  sessions  of  discussions   on  social  affairs  and  also  youth  activities  aimed  at  the  betterment  of  society  at  large. The youths  prepare  themselves to tackle  the difficulties  in  the  day  to  day  life  and  plan  for  the  betterment  of  the  future.Why therefore  such an  institution  was  burnt  to  ashes  by  the  forces  of  nature?  Though  of  course  the  weather  conditions  in  Garo  Hills,  saw  heavy  rains and  thunder  storms,  specially  affecting  the  Ampati  constituency. A streak of  lightening  accompanied  by  a  roar  of  thunder,  struck  the  traditional  Non--Achik  dormitory.  There  can  be  many  interpretations  or  can  be  explained  as  a  freak  of  nature,  yet  it  can  also  be  an  unseen  prediction  of  the  course  of  events  in  the  political  scene  in  Garo  Hills.

There is no gainsaying that one of the most intractable problems having a longterm negative impact on the life of the people of Assam is the suspected foreigners from Bangladesh illegally living in the land-deficient State. Quite naturally, the local people were very much concerned over the large presence of illegal immigrants. After all, should the influx from across the border continues, it will not only turn the Assamese people into a minority in their own land but also pose a serious threat to their sociocultural life.
