Title: Re: [Assam] (no subject)
Hello Soma:


Welcome to you too--to assamnet. Nice to see more and more people here.

Ignore the occasional distraction from the trash that vandals throw here time to time. But if we do our share to keep it from becoming a garbage pile, we will do fine. On this account, I am sure you will agree, that we all--those of us who know better that is, have a responsibility to stand up and be counted -- speak out and not pretend that we have not seen or heard anything, or stand up to speak out only when it is expedient to do so. You are doing great as a newcomer :-).

Now about your question about :


>---pushing the B;deshis back, knowing it fully well that the ULFA will never ever agree to that?


*** I cannot answer whether ULFA will or not.  But,

        Is this a problem that was created by the ULFA?

        Who is responsible for and have the resources to address it? Is that
        authority doing its job? If not, why not? And how are YOU all, as
        responsible citizens, holding the feet of the responsible to the fire?

        If the 'legitimate' authorities have FAILED in their duty over
        30 years, having been shown the problem, including resorting to
        agitations leading even to loss of human lives, then:

        Have you all assigned ULFA to solve the problem for you, giving it
        the necessary support, morally and materially, to help solve it for
        you?

        If not, how do you, with any degree of honesty or integrity, imply
        that the ULFA is somehow guilty of either causing or aggravating
        what you see as a, if not the, biggest problem Assam faces?

If nothing else, your note implies that ULFA is an OBSTACLE to resolution of the problem of B'Deshi infiltration, because ULFA leaders have taken refuge from the Indian military's pursuit, and thus are unlikely to serve as your ally in " about pushing the B;deshis back--".

        Is it a complaint AGAINST ULFA, or is it a complaint against those who
        are responsible for creating this condition--of ULFA leaders
        having to seek refuge in B'Desh?

        Or is it a case of 'xaap hoiw khutisa aaru bez hoiw jaarisa' :-), being
        disingenuous?

My guess is that it is the latter. That would be insulting netters' intelligence , not a cool thing to do. But I will give you the benefit of a doubt, because you must have picked up the line from some of Assam/Indian intelligentsia's shining stars, household names in the media; without giving it any thought on your own or being a a critical observer.

But I hope you will learn to look at things analytically and critically here in this forum.

Best to you.

Oh god what is all this about moral coward...blah blah blah...so much is being said about the sovereignty and all that let us all understand what the ULFA means about that and where in lies the contradiction...and why are all the people calling this PCG as the ULFA?. Anyways is it not interesting that we are talking about pushing the B;deshis back, knowing it fully well that the ULFA will never ever agree to that? We all know why they would refuse...great is not it? think...think and think...!!!
