[Assam] Demands for Separate states in India

This is where it turns to the realm of the
non-existent.

An Assam will never be free to re-engineer from the
ground up in as much as GOI is not. Everything
extracts a price. The revolution that will supposedly
foster in a free Assam will extract a price. Those
that support the revolution (and I don't mean what I
think are the non-existent toiling masses) will
extract a price. Those who will need to switch over
from their current political cocoons to help the
revolution foster the "freeness" will extract a price.
There would be too much of the extraction going by the
track record of the "extractors".

Is that a mission statement of free Assam or
Chandanda's free wish? If all that is there in free
Assam, I doubt it will ever happen. If GOI cannot
re-engineer thusly with its bigger resource base, I
doubt it will ever come to such a pass in a free Assam
with a proportionately much lower resource base and a
long line of "extractors" of very doubtful track
records already waiting to appropriate resources.

I am sure Manmohan Singh must also be sitting in his
high chair, wishing he could re-engineer the
government and throw out government employees and
wishing away the "ensuing social turmoil" with the
flick of a hand. Unfortunately I am sure he
understands that social turmoil would devour him.

And no, the case would not be any different in a free
Assam.
