R we deviating from the core issue ?
"He said that he had been unemployed for a while. When he approached a bank for loan for starting a small business, the manager asked for bribe of Rs 5000 from him. He said in such situations, all youths of Assam will join ULFA one day."

**** Simple minded acceptance of propaganda in the name of news, like
the "---ULFA workers were arrested by police" will leave one
confounded all the time.
We know that time and again, the police, who does not have any track
record of investigating anything sufficiently to be able to convict
criminals, routinely go round up youth and tag them as ULFA. That
from, by all accounts, one of the most corrupt of the governmental
institutions.
**** Application of the label 'terrorist' on every detainee by the
corrupt police, and by and equally conniving and clueless media, is
not only a crude and
ignorant desecration of the English language, it also is reflection
of the labeler's own prejudices and attempts at spin, of a lack of
respect for truth and/or justice. It is a self serving assertion of
one's own righteousness.
I realize that many an Indian attempt/ed to get a free and shameless
ride on the coat-tails of the US military campaigns ( typical
desi-trait of course) against terrorism, by starting to call its own
political dissidents 'terrorists', hoping, somehow, that the USA will
come deliver them from the sins of their own making--in Kashmir, in
Nagaland, in Assam, in the central provinces and so forth.
But more could be expected from these netters.
