Bhubon Kakaideo,
Congratulations for presenting a realistic picture.
The most vulnerable are clans who would not know what to do without a Vast nation to lead or a faithful/loyal dioscese to preach to.
Even small-time crooks like Natwar Singh flourishes K's (Kunwar) and manages to loot 3000+crores -ultimately from loyal Deshbashis - who till this day have no clue.
A 4th grade Nation(? )that is British-branded Bharat has only one way to survive-- Disintegrate!
By the way BPT(Bengal,Tamil,Panjab) are ready -but till that time they are enjoying the loot of the heartland while supporting the Family.
You mentioned Defence- Sovereignty-United Nation-Security Council!!!
What happened to Afghanistan ,Iraq, Lebanon, Serbia, Kosovo,...
Yesterday I could see part of "Fahrenheit 2001".Have you?
By the way,-Ram was worrying "What if Bodo,Mising,Karbi,Bongs of Silchar, Mian's of Hailakandi...want to separate"
I should say 'Welcome-Go ahead- majority village after majority village. British said the same in 1947.
Nogaar Saangtoleyhe Baat. "See you later into Oxom-when you realize---"
But that cannot be said/wished by Delhi. Not today , not ever.
Sooner they let Oxom go, better for them. We might even help India to survive and become a
viable Nation.

Statehood confers a lot of benefits especially to the politically aware and literate sections of the people. Without beating about the bush, let us say that an MLA/MP earns an adequate salary. There are lots of people these days who are either unemployed or not fully occupied and would like to be paid politicians. Then there are those who failed to be elected for one reason or the other. A new State Legislature will definitely absorb some such people. And some of them will become Ministers. Let me again assert that a Minister is adequately paid.
As soon a new government comes to being, there is an entirely new set up with Secretaries to Government, Heads of Departments etc etc. There was a Fourth Grade Naga employee in the State Legislature where I worked. When Nagaland became a State he got a job there as a clerk and I am told in course of time he became a deputy secretary in the new set up at Kohima.
The All Party Hill Leaders of former Assam made a very successful bid for separation from Assam. They had cent per cent support from the hill people. The Khasi peoplesâ demonstration at Shillong was spectacular. I have a feeling that that it was not precisely statehood they had in mind but because of the impossibility of seceding from India through peaceful means made them to be wiser.
The question remained open as to the plains tribals of Assam, say for example the Bodos, Mising and many others. Their grievances were not a whit different from those of the hill tribals.
Now sovereignty. This is the most attractive alternative. Punjab, Bengal, Tamil, Andhra, Maharashtra and most other States of India have full legitimacy, I believe, to declare themselves sovereign. They have territory, a homogenous population, resources, and capable of generating a national will. However, none of them has yet produced an Ian Smith. It has been proved without room for any doubt that a small state is viable; these days it is not essential to have a sizable army to defend itself. International law prohibits forced capitulation of an independent country.
Assam is a state endowed with natural resources, much of it is depleted though. Once Assam is sovereign, you Ram can become the President of the country, Chandan the Prime Minister and I an ambassador of Assam accredited to the Court of St James, United Kingdom. Nalbari, Jorhat, Dibrugarh will have Governors of our choice. Now a popular and powerful Chief Minister has to kowtow to Central Government to go abroad on invitation as an honoured guest; in an independent sovereign country such a situation is unthinkable.
I now do not remember where I read but political scientists predict that India will be divided into many independent states in course of time.
Who are to blame for the possible disintegration of India in course of time? Its people, the political thinkers, the so-called leaders of today. The members of the Constituent Assembly envisaged a divided India and advised to take timely steps to integrate India. This did not happen. In England it has now been accepted that multiculturalism is anathema to nationhood(in India we prided with the slogan âUnity in Diversityâ). The Sixth Schedule to the Indian Constitution did bring benefits to the downtrodden people of India but at the same time it disintegrated the country.
This is a very rough and ready blueprint to do away with your doubts.
Regards
Bhuban
