This is 2006
27 years after Asom gono
Andwlon
First we don't have yet
any political party with such agenda.
Not to say of a a political
party with such agenda who will win.
I think such a political party
with such agenda will have to be a centrist party to win the majority. It
won't win on the mere slogan of "GOI is dysfunctional and we will
administer better".
People will like to see the
beef.
So the political who will have such
agenda will also have to be a centrist party to be popular.
Have we seen even any glimpse of
such a party?
And then it win on the
agenda.
Then what?
Does the constitution will allow
plebicite simply because the state has a political party with that
support.
Where does the Sovereignty of India
goes?
Why a soverign country will allow
plebisite.
This is 2006

Now Santanu that seems more logical than lot of the stuff on the
subject.
But I don't know about the constitutional framework - whether such a move
is allowed or not.
I wonder if it is, and a political party in Assam does win on that
ground, what would the GOI do?
Would it not have to accede to the demand for an amendment? If it did
not, then the GOI would not be following the mandate of the
constitution.
Thinking aloud with you :)

must recognize that all it takes for India to recognize the right to secede
and a procedure for secession of states is to have a constitutional
amendment. That's not very tough - its been done over 50 times.
Now, one
can rephrase the demand for referendum and right to secession as a demand
for such a constitutional amendment. Is that unconstitutional? I mean, is it
unconsitutional to demand an amendment to the constitution? I don't think
so. Now, suppose a political party was floated in Assam that demanded an
amendment to the constitution - in this instance, with particular reference
to procedure for secession of Assam. Suppose it contested the election on
that platform and won a strong majority of seats. Would that be almost
equivalent to a preliminary vote on demand for self determination?
I am
just thinking aloud.

*** And if they
had a shot at expressing themselves, AFTER they had
an opportunity to
EXAMINE the TRUTHS about their condition ( as thru
a free and unfettered
discussion/debate of all pertinent issues), if
they choose to remain with
India and share their dysfunctional state
of the state, so be it! I shall
forever hold MY peace on that.
And I salute YOU Utpal, for being
able to think like that ( not that
I had a doubt).But can Ram? Can Rajen?
Can Himen-da ? Can the so many
amongst us who sing the praises of
democracy on the one hand, but
shall not accord the same to the people of
Assam, or of Kashmir?

*** Me too. But we
