Hi Momy
Your concern is well noted! ULFA or for that matter any other such problem can be compared to mosquito breeding. What you are seeing is the malaria or dengue out of mosquito bites. But how this problem came into being in the first place. Obviously lot of breeding ground was created by some party.
Unless the breeding ground of ULFA, i.e. neglect, exploitation, underdevelopment, etc. are tackled sincerely this is bound to continue. It may continue in any other name, ALFA, BETA, GAMMA.... Mere spraying of few insecticides will make them more resistant. All concerned should goto the basics.
It's the cause and effect problem.

Dipankar,
Do you really think that someone could be deprived of what they deserve due
to prevailing discrimination. However, I can appreciate your point of view.
With all due respect to everyone who support the cause of ULFA or are in the
notion that central govt is biased against the north east, do you really
think establishing your own rights by "snatching" it from either friends or
enemies is the right action.........
It's down to every individual at the end of the day; govt can only support.
Playing the blame game is temporary and can never last long and yet the
repercussions are severe and permanent.
I wasn't brought up in Assam and have rarely set foot on my land, so my
opinion might not be significant. However, blaming the govt. for the
complete situation of the state is not justified. If people of Assam are so
bothered with the face of Assam's roads, the least they could contribute is
to construct the road and drains in the periphery of their new homes. If
each household would care to spend the extra price of laying the road
outside their "dream house", everyone would have better lanes to walk
through………
With regards to your concern with no major industries being set up in Assam
since independence, why wait for the govt to take the initiative. Be it a
personal or govt's initiative to establish an industry, the results will
always be favourable for the people of the place in terms of more employment
opportunities and globalization of the state…
I hope that my personal opinion will not be misconstrued as my support for
the Indian govt (I am an engineer by profession and not a politician so I am
not radicalized)…I believe in "everyman for himself". Besides evidences from
history prove that revolutions and changes happens due to the initiative of
one/more people together, not due to any govt's standalone decision.
So we need to plan some course of action instead of passing the buck....If
our generation was to be trusted with the politics of the nation, we would
have nothing to complain about....
