I think that people on this group should be focussed
on hard facts.
I doubt if "everybody" in Bangladesh is jumping across
the border to get into the NE, although quite a few in
the region would have us believe that this is the only
thing in which they are interested. That there is
migration is not the issue: the question is how manmy
people are coming and where are they going after
entering the NE: many head to other parts of India and
even the Indo-Pakistan border to enter Pakistan and
eventually try and get into a system that would take
them to the Middle East.
the birth rate in Nagaland is high not because of
Bangladeshi migration but because of consistently high
growth rates over several decades.
Assam is the first state that most Bangladeshis would
enter: in which case why has our growth rate dropped
and is at par with much of the rest of India?
