Debashish: I understand your view point. The point we are making is that most of us are getting involved into the issue without knowing the background. Anyone who gets involved with the discussions on the vexed infiltration issue ought to know the historical background, and also the econo-socio-political implications, the ground realities and in those contexts what needs to be done.
