>does Delhi or Mumbai police go and kill the house owner?... But in Assam they CAN do that. Lets >see what happens if a group of Assam police kills two youth in Haryana!
>>This is where all concerned in Assam should protest loud and clear to the district, State, and Central Govt....
I consider the voice of nearly 100000 people gathered from Digboi, Margherita, Jagun etc. at Kakopothar as an attemt of making vox populi loud and clear to whatever govt.s present in Assam. However, those voices were silenced by the govt. guns in the same fashion as it happened in Tianenman Square in China in 1989.
>>>I understand, that it is only at the invitation of the State Govt. that Central troops are deployed. So, the State Govt. must be extremely careful when requesting such 'help'.
Nobody, neither the state govt nor the Indian govt. is concerned about the common people.
>>By now the state should well know the totally uncivilized way many members of these forces behave.
This does not apply to an armed force as the training they get involves torture techniques, assassinating anybody suspected as not agreeing with them.
>>Militants also bear a lot of responsibility in situations like this. If they want to take on the Indian forces, thats up to them. But they *should not*take shelter amidst people who cannot say no to the militants nor can they say no to the army.
Consider two scenarios here. Lets assume
1. The militants threaten common people to accommodate them in their houses. In this case the villagers or common people are not at fault at all. Why should the commoner be harrassed for that. If a group of decoits threatens a house owner in Delhi or Mumbai to give them shelter
does Delhi or Mumbai police go and kill the house owner? They do not even have the guts to do that. But in Assam they CAN do that. Lets see what happens if a group of Assam police kills two youth in Haryana!
2. Lets assume in another case the villagers are the sympathizers of the militants. In that case the question should why India, the constitution is failing these people that they support the militants! And that is exactly what the Indian government has been ignoring for ages.
The list of SHOULD NOTs goes too long for both militants and Indian govt and army, Ramda.
The reaction of Army and mainstream India is just like my Indian friend's who often times defends killings of innocence Assamese as some sort of Karma : "You guys supported ULFA so you guys are killed". However the question is that what does Indian govt want? Does it only want the geographical area called Assam sans Assamese people? The military strategy adopted in Assam and NE makes many of us believe that the Indian govt does not care about the people but the geographical area called Assam or NE. If it cares for the prople it should analyze under what cicumstances people in Kakopothar shouted "ULFA Zindabad, Paresh Barua Zindabad, Razkhowa Zindabad".Dex matho eta dharona, thikonar xex xari...
The most important thing in life is never to forget who you are...
