C'da I had read (and re-read) your prescription - granted its too early in the AM. But it sounds soooooooooooo vague.
I will ask my govt. to stop the institutionalized violence
Isn't that what the GOI and GOA are trying to do - stem the ULFA's (and other insurgent) institutionalized and organized violence. You ought to be in the forefront supporting the GOI :). Seriously though - the GOI or any other govt. has only few options than to respond with force and violence whengroups like the ulfa perpetrates violence and runs. Even the US has done that ( David Koresh, Ruby Ridge). No Govt. can afford to let some violence continue. That is WHY is surprises the heck out of me - why the GOI or the GOA has taken such a long time to let this sore fester and grow?
responsive to the people's needs, re-organize the state's conflict resolution institutions to demonstrate a good faith towards effecting positive changes
I think the GOI and GOA over the last decade or so have moved toward such an end. But then, it seems there are elements within the ulfa (from what I have read) that do not want any peace or hold on to something rigid as "sovereignty". The word negotiations mean give and take. It does NOT mean that the GOI only gives and the ULFA only takes - sorry that ain't happening ever.
most of all sit down with ULFA and find a negotiated, political >solution.
This doesn't mean much. But if you could outline in detail, maybe we will understand. And as I said in an earlier post - I think the time is fast running out for the ulfa to even make rudumentary demands. They may still hold out and continue with the violence, but the tide is turning against them and successive govts in the state and Center are getting tougher in dealing with them as the years are going by. --Ram On 5/26/07, Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Heh-heh Ram :-). Was afraid you will never ask. I will ask my govt. to stop the institutionalized violence, begin a radical reform movement to make govt. responsive to the people's needs, re-organize the state's conflict resolution institutions to demonstrate a good faith towards effecting positive changes and most of all sit down with ULFA and find a negotiated, political solution. Radical? NO. Original ? NO The solution sits on India's face. Its intelligentsia is blind to it. c-da At 9:07 PM -0600 5/25/07, Ram Sarangapani wrote: C'da >Question is WHY the informed and the educated would rather have it >continue?
