[Assam] Enemies of India are enemies of Assam

 >A strong, secure and united India is the *geo-political guarantee >of the
survival of Assam*, which is India.

I am just going by this comment (and this comment only) by Himen da.

If India is strong & united, it will be beneficial to all the states and the
country as a whole. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Barua, you mentioned the leakages like the Cong. led govt., the BJP and even
the AGP patronizing the illegal B'deshi population. I agree with you.
And it exactly these kinds of leakages that have to plugged for India to
remain and grow stronger. India as big as it is, and strong as it is, is
dealt severe blows from within - anywhere from politicians, unscrupulous
bureaucrats to insurgent elements and right wing religious fanatics.
In that light, what Himen da says may be an aspiration and even a goal that
India and Indians as whole must  strive for.

>Does it mean Assam's survival is guranteed?

I am not exactly sure what that means. If it means that Assam may not be
secure without India's protection, that could well be true. An Independent
Assam (with all the inherent problems) may not be able to sustain itself and
may actually slide into some form of anarchy.
Now, if it means that will the continuous inflow of illegals, will Assam
survive, then the answer to that would be for everyone to be aware the games
that politicians and others are doing to court illegal B'deshi vote blocks,
and thereby diluting the ethinic balance in Assam. The facts are illegals
will (at this rate) one day be a majority in Assam. The sad part is this is
happening under the very nose of the powers that be (and probably in
connivance).
The sadder part is that whenever the question of illegals come up, there are
enough people (and some on this net) who would equate getting rid of or
stemming the inflow of illegals as "anti-muslim".
Nothing could be further from the truth. My take on this is if they are
illegals, they need to be deported - irrespective of their religion.
Illegals undermine the laws of Indian citizenship, and they undermine and
take away jobs and the livlihood of the people of Assam. So the first
criteria for deportation should be if they are illegals and not what
religion they belong - which is besides the point.

 >Yes the net is hostile to loose comments.

True, and thats why most frequent netters have grown a thick hide and it
helps in other areas of life as well -:)

Just my thoughts which ain't worth much anyway.
