Hi Mayur:

to belittle the
extreme courage shown by those two boys in response to
the dastardly and heinous act perpetrated by 'the
>sunshine boys' in the name of Assam's independence.
*** I don't think I or anyone else suggested you do.
But having stood by the bravery of the two kids, WHERE is the
rest of your 'analytical' assessment of the report?
Certainly not what you wrote below. Or do you consider that an
analytical assessment of the report in the Agradoot ? Personally I
consider that a diatribe, a shooting off of your mouth against MRG,
without any demonstration of any analytical ability on your part. See
Mayur, epithet slinging does not substitute for thoughtful
deliberation of an issue. I would have hoped someone of your caliber,
training and position in society would be cognizant of that.
Anyway, allow me to share MY views of the REPORT in the
Agradoot:
*** I
join you in recognizing the valor of the two Bodo kids.
*** I
hold judgement on GoI's acts of generosity in felicitating
them
with heroes' welcome, if not trash it outright as yet another
thoroughly hypocritical bit of shameless propaganda.
Why,
you would ask I am sure? For the simple reason of numerous acts
of
governmental terrorism that GoI has perpetrated on people of
Assam
while
never ceasing to spout fealty to democratic principles. If you
need
further explanation of it, do ask I will be pleased to furnish.
But be
forewarned :-), that such display of ignorance carries a price
too, of
one's naivete, biases and lack of credibility.
I will
add one more item to it: Remember the case of the unarmed
villagers ( I forget in Kamrup or Barpeta) a couple of years
back,
when
they attacked a group of armed marauders, who later turned
out to
be Indian Army soldiers, without uniform,who then open fire
on
the
villagers killing several and wounding many.
Did
you hear of the GoI holding these unarmed villagers as
heroes
defending themselves from armed thugs? Did the GOI
undertake
a
judicial investigation and deliver justice? If they did what was
it?
Did the
Assam rags report on it, the same rags that you wave at us
today
with the two kids' heroism?
***
What did the report tell you or me about WHY the school
teacher
was attacked and/or executed by these so-called ULFA men?
Because
they did not like him/them? Because he/they did not pay ransom?
He/they
had some other feud between them? It is obvious you are
ignorant of one of the fundamentals of justice that when one
is charged
with a
particular crime, MOTIVES must be demonstrated for conviction.
Just
because the police says, or the rags report, that it was
perpetrated by ULFA, (and of course thus all heinous motives
could
be
attributed to them) and so justice is done; is not
adequate
information for discerning viewers to judge it.
Sorry
to see you ( and all those others in your shoes) are still
not
there yet.
*** Did
the two killers/attackers have brands on their foreheads
forever
assuring the outraged like yourself that they were ULFA
and not
anything else? And if they did not, was it determined
from
investigations, prosecution in a court of law ( not the
kangaroo variety now) and justice delivered that indeed
they
were
ULFA, perpetrated the crime on credibly delineated
motive/s?
If so
HOW do YOU or the Agradoot knows that? Did they share that
info.,
or is it privileged info. meant only for the righteous
like
yourselves?
***
This is not an argument: But I also want to rub it in on some of
our
baam-exparts ( wannabe experts) who have contended time and
again
that
the Bodos refuse to be a part of Assam and thus would imply
that
they also would have no part of ULFA. If so how is it that
these
two
Bodo men are branded 'durdhorxo' ULFA ?
Finally, I will however would NOT hesitate to declare, that if it
was a blood-thirsty criminal act of killing this teacher in cold blood
without any perceptible motive, perpetrated by some real ULFA cadres,
it is unconscionable.
But something tells me there is a whole lot more to the story
than meets the eye. And those of us who are ready to pass judgement
without wanting to know more, if not all about it, have a lot of
growing up to do intellectually.
You asked for it Mayur :-).
Take care,
c-da
PS: I would spare you today on your diatribe against MRG.
But don't expect a free pass next time :-).

Hor are you ? Writing for the first time in the new

By being 'analytical', I don't want to
belittle the
extreme courage shown by those two boys in response to
the dastardly and heinous act perpetrated by 'the
sunshine boys' in the name of Assam's
independence. I
will not be surprised if MRG gets influenced and
starts acknowledging Dhemaji Misdeeds of your freedom
fighters as 'normal' after reading some of the recent
posts in assamnet. I can only hope that she does not
come near a computer in the near future. Like any
responsible citizen in society, she is entitled to
have her own viewpoints regarding anything. But she
must be very careful in making public pronouncements
as she is trying to bring about much needed peace in
Assam by facilitating talks beween GoI and ULFA
through PCG. She should not give opportunity to others
to accuse her of derailing the talks in future by
recklessly shooting off her mouth.
