>Dear Anjumanara I think i have entered in this topic 'infiltration of Bangladeshi's' for discussion lately. But I read your message to Mrinal. You said that you were brought up in west Garo Hills. You also said that at night some 'Docaits' or 'thieves' came almost every night. Who knows how many docaits or thieves entered? And who knows they looted people immediately after entering with their families to feed them on the way to Assam and Megahlaya and to borne their on the way expenses?
Hemanta Kalita, Guwahati very thoughtful of anjumnara but i feel the discussion should not digress from the main topic we should not go into the details of english vocabulary instead debating on the essence of the subject would be more productive To: [email protected] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:22:59 +0530 Subject: [asom] Deportation of Bangladeshis 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.

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.
