One trend I have seen amongst the proponents of sovereignity is to use Indian economic and political data to show how India's implosion and breakup is imminent and just around the corner. That people around the country, not just a handful in Assam, have lost faith in the future of the country and therefore want to move away. Unfortunately for them, they need to use numbers to prove their position. The numbers tell a different story. And droves of people around the world are buying the story the numbers tell.
It might have been credible, at most, 20 - 25 years back. The story is very different today. To claim India is in a state of desperation is not credible and in most quarters laughable. The second reasoning people give, again economic, is that Assamese people will be better off economically in a sovereign Assam. Which by itself is not have a problem. What is a problem is that further reasoning envisages all kinds of production of different things for which the market is India. Now, why would India allow itself to be a market for a sovereign Assam? By all means establish the case for sovereignity. But use credible reasoning. Revise long held positions that are no longer relevant in current times. I am sure you will have many more converts. --- Rajib Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The oracle speaks! > Ambiguously! > > > --- mc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --------------------------------- > > Keep doubting till the last > > mm > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > From: Rajib Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: mc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Assam] Economy in Crisis > Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2005 13:38:40 -0700 (PDT) > >Last I looked, Yunnan was not Assam's neighbour > >technically.
