I rarely come to such email discussions because they generate more words, unpleasantness and emotional anger than anything useful or practical. People hide behind pseudonyms to disguise their real faces and identities, for whatever reason. There are many occasions when different identities (ids) but are but one person!
I also see that from time to time various email groups "Manners" for the net. I find these are rarely followed and that some people like to indulge in abuse and defamatory accusations. Anyone who has followed my work for all the years that I have been working on issues relating to the north east including my books, essays, articles and interviews as well as the years with The New York Times knows that this is nothing but rubbish. assumptions based on personal prejudices and lack of understanding of the issue in depth try to box us into various points of view, which others try to dictate to us. Anyone who is responsible for this horror on Assam -- and that means any armed group, any government official, any politician, any faction, Islamic or otherwise -- must be tracked down and dealt with in the strongest manner, by law. Those interested can read my views expressed within hours of the blasts which were carried by the Indo-Asian News Service. Instead of reflecting on and sensibly analyzing the tragedy and seeing what should be done to help people affected by it, some are trying to score points. That is just a cynical manipulation of free media and open spaces. And "Dibya", the creature you are referring to is the Ostrich which buries his head in the sand. it is not the Emu. similarly you have got the wrong person for double speak since my views have been consistent. Those who want everyone to sing one tune, to jump to immediate conclusions without any sense of responsibility are the ostriches. I shall not be reacting to anymore of this because it generates more unpleasantness than clarity at a time we should be thinking of the common good. Instead we think of pulling each other down!
