C Da,

*** I have already been in Assam twice this year. Thanks much for
your generosity in offering guide services, but I really don't need
it. You may not know this, but I happen to know Assam fairly well.
You have forgotten that here in India, the government is by the people, so,
*** You are quite the humorist, aren't you :-)? I wished you had
read a recent address by Newsweek editor Fareed Zakaria and what he
thinks of Indian democracy. If I can locate it again, I will send a
copy of it for your reading pleasure. BTW, Zakaria is quite an India
promoter, not like yours truly at all :-).
If you want I can get all the families of the victims send an
invitation to you.
*** That will not at all be necessary Nayan. I happen to know all
about their plight , and WHY it continues. Thanks to Assam and Indian
intelligentsia's role in helping perpetuate the tragedy.
I had refrained from answering your questions then because someone
else had answered them >better than i could ever have. And if you
remember I had said that.
*** If I am not mistaken, you wrote that you will wait to hear what
OTHERS say about the first set of questions. And I don't recall
anyone attempted to answer it, as I expected none to.
Even recently Chittaranjan Da had replied to some of your queries in
a very liberal manner to which I >throughly agree and can't think of
adding anything more.
*** I haven't had a chance to reply to Chitta yet on that, but rest
assured there WAS NOTHING that resembled an answer to HOW he or his
supporters and admirers plan to end the conflict in Assam, unless you
consider wishful thoughts plans for action.
I am not like you and for that matter like anyone else who would
comment on any Godamme thing just >for the sake of commenting.
*** Now, now Nayan! Let us not get all that worked up to damn your
God on this. I know you are a far better man than I could ever be,
and thus you don't comment on things that I barge right into. BUt
there is another reason also: I have an ability to look into the
basic principles underlying an issue, even if I might not have
knowledge of the facts or technical details. When we discuss and
debate issues, we can never be certain of what is presented as
factual evidence or technical details. Therefore we have to look into
the underlying principles to analyze them. It is a skill that is not
always evident in our forum, even though it ought to be, considering
the level of education and commensurate intelligence expected.
p.s: If you have the guts, be a suicide bomber yourself. Don't
instigate others to suicide for your whims >and fancies. You have
done enough already.
*** Unlike you brave folks , I am quite a wimp and have neither the
desire nor the commitments required to become a suicide bomber or for
that matter any bomber. Thus I also do not instigate others to become
such. But I thought you were informed enough to have known where news
of that possibility
came from. FYI, that was what was hinted by none other than ULFA's
chairman, Rajkhowa. I would not take that lightly, unlike you
military strategists of Assam Net. Because that has been a well
define trend in countless asymmetrical warfares waged by freedom
fighters and terrorists alike in recent decades, around the globe.
No I have NOT done enough yet. I wished I could do more to help hose
whose mindset helps perpetuate the conflict in Assam see reason. Thus
you can count on hearing from me again . Don't forget , if my
analyses and reasoning had no influence, you would NOT be on my case
like crows over june-bugs :-), as they might say here in the US
midwest.
Take care.
c-da
Why do you not talk with the people. I am inviting you. If you want
I can get all the families of the victims send an invitation to you.
I will answer all your questions. But the forum should be here in
Assam. Before its people.

Hi Nayan:
My apologies for the delay in replying to your incisive, steel-trap
questions . Here I am , humbly submitting to your inquisition
(albeit late for being out of town for the Memorial Day weekend)
without a whimper about your disappearing act whenever I ask some
questions in return. I realize you are busy deliberating on them and
will reply in 'due time' :-).
>"why all these Maara Maari is acceptable"
*** To foolish people like myself, it is NOT at all acceptable that
these conflicts should have ever escalated from disgruntlement
against governmental un-responsiveness to 'andwlons' ( agitations)
and then to insurgency , warfare, secret-killings, state sponsored
terrorism, bombing of civilian targets -- you name it. I await in
dread of the next possible phase of the continuing escalation---- of
suicide bombings, tacitly supported by those who shall not accept a
negotiated political solution ( as amply demonstrated by their
pronouncements in every conceivable media).
On the other hand, I ask of you and others like you, who make up the
brain-trust of your society, if your approach, of crying rivers of
tears, while continuing to stone-wall a political solution, aren't
mere crocodile tears of those who are UNAFFECTED by the violence,
sitting pretty in your comfortable prosperity and relative security?
Your intelligence, your wisdom, becomes an issue, only because of
what YOU say and what you do ( or don't).
Will you be able to demonstrate your commitments to a peaceful
resolution of the conflict by standing up and supporting the plea
of the 'traders' published in the AT that Barta Bistar posted ?
We will be all ears.

Dada,
That was what i wanted to say. Saying directly has had no answers
nor acknowledgements. Only dangor dangor philosophy from the know it
all's as to why all these Maara Maari is acceptable in the name of
liberation of Assam. I want them to see and feel the same anguish
the family members of the innocent victims are going through.

It's sad that innocent people suffer in the all such cases. Our
condolences to the sufferers. It could be anyone, and they have
nothing to do with liberation, oppression or anything.
Some years back an Assamese family lost 5 family members in Delhi's
Saroniji Nagar bomb blast. Mr. Apurba Sarma of Nagaon, working in a
bank came for a vacation with his sister-in-law's family. Mr. Sarma
went to buy some sweets, and the other members were having 'aloo
chaat', when the bomb ripped through. 5 of them were pulverised
instantly, three badly burnt. We went to see his recuperating
survivors at Safdarjung Hospital. His youngest daughter was in ICU
and wanted to be with her mother. Mother and elder sister were no
more, and who could break the news to her? It was heart rendering.
Mr Sarma's life was devasted in a second's time. Just a second
before that moment it was full of life and fun, a moment later it
was all gone.

Dear C da,
I would like to invite you to Assam/Asom/axom (Athgaon, Fancy
Bazaar/Abroad the Brahmaputra Mail). The weather is really great.
Red is the Colour of the day. It feels really good when you take a
walk down the Bazaars. Tommorow is Guwahati Bandh. I'm sure you have
not enjoyed a Bandh for a long time. i suppose it does not happen
there in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. So why don't you accept my
invitation and come down for a prolonged visit. I will surely take
you everywhere. Will show you where the bomb blasts occured. Will
even take you to talk with the family of the victims. You can even
tell them how lucky they are to have given their beloved ones for
liberation. If you are lucky, we might even be eye witness to a few
bombings and see the RED oozing out of humanity.
Regards
Nayan

This is what I feel should happen in Assam:
President' Rule be imposed on Assam.
ULFA given a strict deadline by which to surrender and come for talks.
Bangladesh also given a deadline by which they should destroy and
hand over anti India insurgents lodged in their territory.
In the failure of the above, India launches a full scale offensive on
ULFA in NE as well as inside Bangladesh territory.
If the World reacts, it will be a good fortune for India. India has
enough evidence of how terrorists are striking India from across the
border and how Bangladesh is offering a safe sanctuary to these groups.
India should come out of it's puppet like spineless existence. If it
wants to be a superpower in the next 2 decades it should behave like
one. What is the use of spending so much of national wealth on
defense if it can't even protect it's own borders. Look at Israel, it
launched a full scale offensive against Lebanon to rescue 2 of it's
soldiers from Hezbollah.

*** Good question. Should it? I would not even go into the choice
of adjectives here.
And if not, what should be done and who should ?
Finally, HOW will that be stopped? WHO will do that ?
