Hounorable Netters,
By suggesting that the ULFA members are cave dwellers, Dr. Kamal Deka seems
to have taken the opportunity to highlight that he lives in Texas. His wording
in the relevant mail is speaking that loud enough.
There is no doubt that he has the required qualification to work abroad and
earning a lot of money.
As ULFA members home is Asom rather than Texas or New York, their lives are
akin to cave dwellers as perceived by Kamal Deka. Therefore, he thinks that
these cave dwellers are unable to understand and appreciate what is Sovereign
independence. Consequently there is no point of having a plebiscite to end the
Asom-India conflict peacefully. Asking for a plebiscite in his eyes is likened
to a child demanding the moon! Hence, he has not offered any definitive idea
for a solution. We do not think that he has an answer how to bring in the
resolution to the conflict. But we would like to say that by bringing in the
idea of autonomy he is skillfully diverting the focus from a true solution to a
non-solution. During the freedom struggle against the imperialist British
colonialists such educated class of people tried to derail the rise ups. He is
an incarnation with the same mentality.
Members and visitors to the AssamNet must have noticed his disdain by
commenting the ULFA as Cave dwellers and in contrast raising his profile as
an educated successful person. But he has not indicated of his contribution, if
any, in resolving the national problem of Asom. Apart from making his life in
America, if he has done anything for Asom and her people we do not know. It is
not clear if he understands his servitude to America by offering his brain and
skill for riches.
In our opinion he is a so-called educated person without social and political
insight, wanting to be an arm-chair revolutionary. Dr. Deka perhaps has never
read the poem Soha aru pondit, r Sohoror odurot asil ejon soha nam tar jurmon
Bara.
Despite his expressed unhelpful views, we would urge him to get involve
within his limitations for the emancipation of the oppressed and exploited
majority of Asom

<Rubi Bhuyan and the people of his/her ilk must be living in a cave,totally
detached from the ground realities of Assam.They are merely prodding at the
body of ' sovereignty' without knowing what it is all about---like children at
a new toy in the market showroom.Rubi Bhuyan's point of view expressed in the
Assam Net is of no consequence as far as I am concerned.>
I respectfully disagree with Mr.Nayanjyoti Medhi's opinion,voiced in this
forum in regard to holding a plebiscite in Assam focusing solely on the
sovereignty issue as demanded by the ULFA,who are itching to break-up a
60-year-old kaleidoscopic federation.Why do we have to hold a
referendum,buckling under the pressure of an outfit that has been outlawed by
the Government ? Is Assam an exclusive preserve of the ULFA ? The right to
self-determination,if allowed in Assam,would then be reduced to a series of
voting exorcises,conducted every 10 years or so in order to meet the demand of
the new generation,at whose whim the border of a country could be defined and
redefined.It will not be very difficult to imagine the chaos,it would create in
a polyglot,multi-ethnic and multi-religious state as Assam's,if such recipe
were to be applied state-wide as a solution.
