I agree. And would like to add this: Why do people talk trivially about the ULFA? I
s it because the NRAs have no business doing so or is it because many of the ULFA activities do attract such comments from onlookers?

Or WHY don't the INDIANs who OWN Assam >( or act like owning Assam) and exploit it do that? WHY don't those WHO JUSTIFY Assam remaining an Indian colony >sdon't do that?
And, if I could add, why don't those who are demanding an independence for Assam DO that too?
C'da, frankly we are all responsible (in some way or the other) for " focus their energy to set up industries or other job and revenue generating enterprises in Assam"

Why you would surely ask. This is why:

*** Where does this obligation come from? WHY don't the people who are demanding this from others do that themselves for example? WHY don't the OTHER people of Assam DO that? Or WHY don't the INDIANs who OWN Assam ( or act like owning Assam) and exploit it do that? WHY don't those WHO JUSTIFY Assam remaining an Indian colony sdon't do that?
Why isn't the writer demanding it from THOSE who are benefiting from exploiting Assam's resources to do that? Aren't they the most LOGICAL PEOPLE to do that?And most of all WHAT is the CONNECTION between commenting on ULFA, trivial or otherwise and an obligation for setting up industries or other revenue generating enterprises?
So this agreement is a meaningless _expression_ of solidarity with an equally meaningless demand is how I see it.
But I will correct myself and tender an apology when someone can explain WHY or HOW I am wrong in my assessments here.

But there are some people who may not agree to that view.Many think that Independence first, and once we are independent, everything will be solved.They say no reform is possible unless we change the system.That is why we donot see any discussions on real projects in the net.I say to them that is like Buddha's famous fable of the 'Poisoned Arrow'.I say to them, that is like:Ahok barixa, katok patRoija bhinihi, khaija pat.I say, we don't have time to wait.RB

Many commendable projects have already been in operation in Assam. But we need a lot more, whereby our educated youth can engage in gainful employment in their home state itself.
Also lets try to be more united and genuinely help fellow assamese. Lets come out of our diplomatic ways and of living and our spiteful thoughts and do away with 'bhaal hoise' and 'bhaal lagise' and try to think and act in solid ways to improve our motherland. Let us strive to make assamese community a one to be reckoned with respect in the global civilisation.
