If I have understood correctly from both Begum and Talukdar's writing on infiltrations -- Begum did not see infiltrations in and around Garo Hills border area while Talukdar did not see same in and around the border area where he works.
Both segments of border area that Begum and Talukdar refer are very short compared to the total border length. Now my question to Begum and Talukdar: How do you know that both spans (Garo Hills border section and Talukdar's working section) would be used by illegal immigrants around the time when you both were present in and around the border sections respectively? My assumption is that Begum and Talukdar will not be in and around border sections 24 hours a day 7 days a week :) I think illegal immigrants go deep inside to a safe place where they would not be detected quickly (I would have done that if I were to immigrate illegally).

I was born and brought up in a border area in west Garo Hills Meghalaya. Till date I have not seen a single Bangladeshi taking shelter as illegal migrants.. But of course there are dacoits and thieves from Bangladesh who visit our area almost every night.

Minimise fresh infilitration with secure fencing(even Mexico-US border being breached regularly), legalise the existing Bangladeshis with work permit but deny them voting right. 2.Using Clause VI of Assam Accord reserve 85% of Assembly seats for indigenous people and encourage tribals councils even if they are defunct. See the ground position of the Rabha Autonomous Council. 3.Deportation to where? Bangladesh has never recognised infiltration to India. It is farce and will remain farce. 4.Like Insurgency, every political parties need infilitration issue for their survival in Assam politics. 5.Do not alienete and generalise Muslims as immigrants. Ask the Editors of Assamese dailies, the most correct and well writtens Assamese reports are coming from the correspondents of the immigrant community. 6.Should we spend another 25 years, waste another generation, chasing Bangladeshis or exploit them to the economic advantage of our motherland? Mrinal Talukdar P.S -- Working in the border region for long time, personally I do not think infilitration in the recent time has been very alarming. At least economic condition of border areas of present Bangladesh is far better than Indian side. Accept that truth. If not spend seven days from Karimganj to Goalpara border. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
