Then for God's sake, why
did not you tell us at the very beginning about your opinion of the report,
specifically to explain the higher progress for the rest of the NE states
compared to Assam, (that unless we know the baseline statistics of the report,
we cannot interpret these) instead of trying to throw questions and
statements to show that it is all GOI's fault (it was an integral part of the grand Indian scheme to
keep the NE discombobulated and fractured. by bribing the quintessentially
Indian virtue).?.
That would have saved us lot time and
frustration, and you your creditability as a spokesperson of ULFA and
PCG..
Bye Bye

That is where your problem lies.
This PROGRESS is subjective. If you don't know what the baseline for
computing the progress is, then how f do you know what it means?
If you DO know, then it might mean something. But FIRST, you will need to
tell us that.
> it was an integral part
of the grand Indian scheme to keep the NE discombobulated and fractured. by
bribing the >quintessentially Indian virtue." must be wrong.
Huh? Why? Why is it wrong?
>And if your earlier statement was

flowery wording against the GOI.
*** Yeah? GoI is being bullied by my flowery words? Heck, with YOU
in GoI's defense how could *I* a dumb, stupid,corrupt and lazy-ass kharkhowa
BULLY GoI :-)?
>Please try to answer straight and
simple without asking questions
*** So, I have to bend over backwards and submit to YOUR
inquisition, but without so much as even the right to ask a question to
understand what you are trying to get from me?
But I will comply with the best of my abilities, IF you respond to my
questions also. Because the answer to MY question is KEY to weighing the
wisdom or substance of YOUR opinions.

Good. Now
if you believe that GOI is also 'bribing' Assam like the other NE states,
then your explanation for the rests of the NE states progressing
more : it was an integral
part of the grand Indian scheme to keep the NE discombobulated and
fractured. by bribing the quintessentially Indian virtue." must be wrong.
And if your
earlier statement was wrong, it must have been attempt just to bulley
with some superfluous flowery wording against the GOI. Now that we
know that your earlier statement was wrong, how do you explain the higher
progress for the rest of the NE states, the question originally
asked.
Please try
to answer straight and simple without asking questions or assuming things so
that we donot waste more time.

It is about your false ideology with the belief that rest
of the NE States progress is due to GOI bribing these
states.
You failed to
explain why the GOI does not want to bribe Assam which is also a state
in the NE
*** Rajen, I don't understand why you keep badgering me for
getting into things that makes you angry later.
But since you insists, here it is:
I NEVER suggested that India does not BRIBE Assam. It has been
doing just that.
Where do you think all the monies that Dilli does send to
Assam? Is it going for public health-care improvements? Is it improving
primary schooling? Is it showing up in infrastructure development? Is it
reducing infant mortality?
But your trump card, the ace of your argument here is that the
other NE states are using it effectively to show better stats. while Assam
is not. And why is that?
Because it is the Assamese people's own damn fault--that
they are crooks, incompetents and lazy-ass bums. Right? That is your
big argument isn't it ? Surely you told us that any number of
times.
And you know what? I can offer my own opinion of your opinion
here, but knowing how you have been reacting of late, I would just as soon
not. So why don't you take a deep breath and see if you can get to the
bottom of it by yourself. Surely you heard explanations of it here before,
any number of times.
Finally, the improved stats on the OTHER NE states on the
issues you cite, I have no reason to doubt or question their validity.
But WHAT do those stats. really MEAN?
* Do
you know what the BASE-LINE used for computing those gains is?
*
Are they gains, the 'delta', over a pan-Indian benchmark, or is
it
a
delta over its own baseline of a certain date?
* If
it is the latter for example, do you not realize that a
society where infant mortality used to be very high, a
slight
reduction in number
could register as a very high percentage gain.
But
does it give us a useful picture that we could use to compare
and
judge its real value?
*
There are other issues. I am no statistician to delve into
these.
But
the issue is WHAT do these numbers REALLY MEAN?
If you don't know the answers above, how could you put your
faith behind the stats. to judge the relative efficacy of the bribery
between Assam and the other NE states to declare
>Then we can really
declare that the people of Assam are the worst in the entire North East
>region, worst then Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh
etc. ?
Not that it would hurt my feelings if it indeed is so. But if
you don't know the meaning of the stats. how could you make the
judgement you did.
You tell us.
