Friends, The act of small group of people cannot be cruel picture of whole Assam. We should not be blindly trust the media generated stripped picture of a woman. It is easy to generat a naked picture of any person in modern electronic media. It is totaly provocative picture made by medias. No one stripped or raped in beltola area.. The act of Adibasi protestor is equaly blamable. But equaly all adibasis are not bad or violant picture of warrior community. If one can remember of Kokrajhar incident in 1999-2000. Some adibasi people raped 4 bodo women and murdered them after that what heppened everybody knows it.Actualy Adibasi people were not involved in rap or murder. It was fabricated by some anty social elements. So I kindly request you people should not be fall prey in this type of media generated news which will be foot in wrong steps. We should be very carefull.

Rather than putting up some new issues to divert this topic as an assamese and as a human being we all should condemn this incident. You can't kill every person like mad street dogs if someone fights for their rights..it does not matter whether they come out with PEACE RALLY or come out with weapons.. Look back to Assam's history ..you will get proof of it.. Do you know what have you lost because of these incidents.. There were so many softwares companies who were suppose to come for interview in Ghy in those days ..had not come.. Who had suffered from it..poor Assamese guys like us..Do you want to give such kind of awards to Assamese youths once again. Assam is a land where there is no scope for riots..but if these things happen continously Assam will soon be converted to Gujarat.. Already we had moved 100 years behind because of millitancy then why can't we stop all these ..At least we will not be forced to move 400 years behind.

The shame that 3 men brought us in the international front page. This is not Assam that I know and am proud of! and these men do not represent the whole community. As for the poor girl and her family, she has my moral support. If there is any way I can help, I would like to do so. But I also agree with you that all these people who have been here for such a long period of time, should not be still calling themselves adivai's. By now they should be mainstream assamese people. By no means I would call them tribal people. They have a regular income which is far more than the average assamese people who do not work in Tea Gardens. To be in a Schedule Tribe or Schedule Caste status it is advantageous only if one is looking for Goverment Jobs. All this will no longer be important when privatization of Public sectors takes place. Assam Government and society should come forward and change the satus of the Adivis's to a more assamese status, so that they are not alienated. We should not be doing the same mistakes made by our forefathers. After all Assam is a mix of several different communites. Remember if our forefathers did not alienate the Naga's socially, They would be a part of Assam. So would the seven sisters be a whole integrated family. Mohan R.

Let's get off the umbrage and outrage horse about the malicious designs of national newspapers against the Assamese (or pointing twisted fingers at "Bangla Babus' or what have you). It is time to squirm a bit and then some. BTW, Modi expressed the same kind of outrage during the Gujarat riots. And some of us (including myself) joined in too. Even as I squirmed.
