Why do we discuss so much?
Some case studies: 

1) You are from any rural part of assam. Your father 
is / was a teacher / farmer / any other govt job 
holder.One day you decided to move out of your 
native and that's logical. So one day your father 
had to sell the farming land(hardly any ruralite 
assamese did't have an acre of farming land 10 
years back)  . That's also  reasonable. 
Now searching for the client who would give him 
the best return. This is obvous that only a farmer 
would go for some cultivable land.This way most 
part of cultivable land in lower and central 
assam are grabbed by Bangladeshis. 

Don't believe: Don't go to hojai, moirabari, dhing.

Go to your native(village). Ask your relative 
where are those lands which you had 30 years back.

2) Why bangladeshis can't make it to tribal areas? 
I am not talking about hill states. 
Just wanted to compare Maibong and Dhing.

Subject: Re: [asom] Birth rate - Bangladesh India

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?
