Dear Khalek,

In plain English what myself and Mrinal meant is that infiltration is not 
alarming. English word 'alamring' has been used. If you consult a English 
Dictionary, you would find that  'alarming' is a synonym for appalling, 
atrocious, awful, baleful, bloodcurdling, chilling, creepy, creepy-crawly, 
dire, direful, dismaying, dread(a), dreaded, dreadful, fearful, fearsome, 
forbidding, formidable, frightening, frightful, ghastly, grim, grisly, 
gruesome, hair-raising, hairy, horrendous, horrible, horrific, horrifying, 
macabre, menacing, minacious, minatory, nightmarish, ominous, petrifying, 
redoubtable, scarey, scary, shivery, shuddery, sinister, stupefying, terrible, 
terrific, terrifying, threatening, ugly, unnerving etc.

These words definitely doesnot mean that there is no infiltration. I dont think 
any one will disagree that there is no illegal migration to Assam. Border 
vigilance doesnot fall under my work area and I am also not aware like you what 
strategy and time frame is used by the infiltrators.  Being an inhabitants of 
borderland , I expressed what I have experienced. It is expected that my 
sharing should not be distorted or given a different interpretation by the 
group members.

I presume you are not from border areas, but you know that infiltration is 
taking place. Now my question to you is that how you know that infiltration is 
taking place at the time when you  are not present in and around the border 
sections ? My assumption is you are not in and around border sections 24 hours 
a day 7 days a week? Please reflect these questions. You will find many 
answers.Try to be little bit pragmatic.

Infiltration/illegal migration is a political issue here rather than a 
socio-economic migration or a border issue. Prevention of illegal migration 
through proper border vigilance mechanism may solve the problem overnight. But 
this will not happen. Because if the problem is solved there will be no 'game' 
to play.

Best

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).

Dear Mrinal,
Thanks for your email. I agree with you that infiltration in border
areas is not alarming. 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.

Best regards
