>As I said I don't have time to

*** I can appreciate your not having time to explain. But having the time
to deliver verdicts without any to explain or to defend them is not
convincing.
Anyone can mouth off any-verdict or opinion. But they are dime a dozen,
unless they carry some credible substantiation.
>Since you are supporting ULFA you
should have been ahead of me on the issues.
*** I may very well be. But I did not render the verdicts you did,
without explaining.
>Anyway this is my last explanation
on the subject.
*** Is it a threat or a promise :-)?
>The issue is between GOI and
ULFA.
*** Yes. But that is only part of the story. The other part that is
eluding you
is that ULFA is not an extra-terrestrial entity, nor does it sustain
itself on B'Deshi air or monsoon rains. For twenty-five years, to fight the
world's third
largest standing army, it needs a few things.
Guess who provides that? I know, I know, I present impossible to answer
questions. But try it, it may not be as hard and formidable a challenge it
appears to be from your opinions here.
>The impression is ULFA does not want
to end the charde and that is why they are pushing the >PCG in the
front as a cushion.
>The impression is the whole movie
industry in Bangladesh is being run by ULFA.
*** I should have known. You prove yourself to be a highly impressionable
person. Like all those editors of Sentinel, Statesman, Indian Express,
Desi Conflict Perpetuation Institute Analysts etc. feeding off the RAW
trough , you too join the crowd.
But let us agree your impressions are THE unquestionable facts. I will
even ignore the Indian Defence Ministry spokesman Sri. Regupaty, who said that
they are unaware of ULFA's 5-star Hotel Ops in B'Desh, that these same
impression makers have been wailing about for years. Now then, would you
rather have ULFA be self-supporting on Dhakaiwood income, or have them come
for untaxed Indian money from Assam?
> (BTW who is paying for PCG's
expenses?
*** First, WHAT expenses? 5-star hotel expenses in visiting the
hinterland ? Cell-phones ? Z-level security and chauffer driven autos?
High-rise flats? First class air fare to Dilli? Childrens'education in foreign
lands? What?
Anyway, I don't know who provides all those, whichever you had in mind.
But what if ULFA is providing it? What then? Would it make the PCG's
task illegitimate?
If so, to WHOM? To the Rajen Baruas of Assam and those who,share his
displeasures, or to the people of Assam? After all the PCG has ULFA's
confidence. Did you expect the expenses to come from GoI? Or GoA? Or do you
want it to be from the PCG members' own pockets?
Anyway, how do you know if it is NOT coming from the PCG members' own
pockets?
Or from the many impressions you picked up in this visit,
does it appear that PCG members are wealthy beyond their visible source of
income, like all those loyal, law-abiding, moral Indian civil servants,
elected reps and ministers of desi-demokrasy that you hold in such high
esteem, and thus should make their own contributions as penance for their
sins?
>I don't see any incentive for ULFA
to end the charade.
*** Of course , with your demonstrated expertise in the predictive arts,
no
doubt an endowment of your desi-heritage, who could doubt that?
But I have a question of you, Mayur, Shantikam Hazarika, AT columnists,
Sentinel Editors, Security Analysts and the like, as to delivering your
scientifically derived PREDICTIONS:
A: To show the
world HOW astute your analytical and observational
skills are,
that you already know what the rest await with bated
breath? A case
of one-upmanship over the clueless masses?
B: To warn the
unwary GoI, that ULFA is setting them up?
C: To warn the
people of Assam that they are placing FALSE HOPES ?
D: Applying
reverse psychology on ULFA and the PCG, to put pressure
on them to
capitulate?
E: All of the
above and/or something else?
But you know what? I have this uneasy feeling that the motive for the
predictions is not something that is in the best interests of Assam, not
something that is either honorable or called for. I suspect there are
others who would share my feelings here. But I will wait to hear , in your own
words, as to your unsolicited predictions. Sorry, but I had to say it
like it is.
>The Assamese people donot matter on
this issue as they are not part of the game. They are the
>victims.
*** Oh, I see. Now they are no longer in the group of NOBODY who want
peace. They are just unrelated VICTIMS?
Where has your self described above average sense of logic gone to Rajen?
You sacrificed it in the altar of setting yourself up as an astute analyst
?
>GOI is not a one person or one team
to have a mind of its own. It has a policy. The impression is that on policy
matters it wants to end the charade.
*** Hmmm, I see! And those who have policies must be right, must be for
peace! The highly impressionable oughtta know.
>I have heard even the Military
personal in Assam donot want to end the issue as many are >making huge
profits (as the rumors goes) out of the charade.
*** What can I say? They are of course independent of the righteous GoI
with those pious policies. Why else could they indulge in that?
>BH does not count on the
issue.
*** Except for his verdicts, which drew you into this analysis,
right?
I don't know Rajen. You must be under a lot of stress or
something, thoroughly left discombobulated by all those confusing impressions
that must have bombarded you on your fact finding mission. But there must be
ONE good side to it all.
I asked Tilok Daktor about your notes. He says you need a vacation
Rajen.

The issue
is between GOI and ULFA.
The
impression is ULFA does not want to end the charde and that is why they
are pushing the PCG in the front as a cushion. (BTW who is paying for
PCG's expenses?)
The
impression is the whole movie industry in Bangladesh is being run by ULFA. I
don't see any incentive for ULFA to end the charade.
GOI is not
a one person or one team to have a mind of its own. It has a policy. The
impression is that on policy matters it wants to end the
charade.
The
Assamese people donot matter on this issue as they are not part of the game.
They are the victims. If you ask me what they think of it. Hobo Diok to
some. Continue the Charade for others as they are enjoying the monetary
profit out of the process.
I have
heard even the Military personal in Assam donot want to end the issue as
many are making huge profits (as the rumors goes) out of the
charade.
BH does not
count on the issue.
Now you
tell me why do you think the charade will end.?
For last 30
years Assam does not have any new industry. Where do you think all the
investment money is coming from for the high rise buildings in
Guwahati?
As BH says
I think it will continue and many people will get rich.
For rest of
the story please visit Assam.

*** Assuming you are correct, that NOBODY wants a solution,and
I am not taking you literally here -- I know you mean FEW; does it mean
that it is only the Assamese who don't want a solution? Or does Indian
Govt. not want a solution either?
A: If the Assamese don't want a solution, what is their motive
for continuing with the charade?
B: What is India's motive in your view? I can believe that,
and I have my reasons. But I would be curious about YOUR rationale,
should you care to share.
C: What about BH, does he want a solution? If so, as a true
Oxomiya leader with a lot of SEEMING influence in Delhi, what is HE
contributing?
I would however exclude his wishes for remaining a good
Assamese and a good Indian, as any contribution to the process. That is
just political double-talk.

Bhupen Hazarika seem to be
speaking the reality being felt by majority people in Assam
today.
The reason is very simple.
(I said it before) Nobody wants a solution. Everybody gains when
there is no solution but the game goes on.
As I said, it is the best
of times, it is the worst of times!!!

No easy solution to militancy:Hazarika
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1263728.cms
NEW DELHI: Noted Assamese music composer Bhupen
Hazarika, who had mediated between the Centre and ULFA during
previous NDA regime, today said he did not expect a solution to the
problem of militancy in Assam in near future.
"There is no dream about resolution of the problem in
near future," the Dadasaheb Phalke award winning artiste told
reporters on peace talks between ULFA-appointed citizens' group and
the Centre.
The Centre and ULFA must come to the negotiating table
if they were serious about bringing peace to Assam, he told a press
conference on the eve of a music concert here to raise funds for
Assam Association.
"If they are really peace-seekers, they must start
talking (directly)," he said when asked about the talks to be held
here between the People's Consultative Group and Central leaders on
October 25 and 26.
Hazarika, also a winner of the Padma Bhushan and former
Chairman of Sangeet Natak Academy, said the Centre should be "more
clear" about the proposed talks, but did not elaborate. Hazarika,
who had composed a song asking the ULFA militants to shun violence,
said his efforts did not yield any result as the outfit did not do
so.
Asked about ULFA's demand for sovereignty, he said "I
don't believe in violence. I want to be a very good Indian and a
very good Assamese as well." He suggested that the Government
formulate educational curriculum which would focus on national
integration.
