[Assam] Enemies of India are enemies of Assam

Hi Himen-da:

*** You continue to stump me with your"--not take any responsibility 
" invocation. You can CLARIFY it with just a few words, but you 
choose not to, keeping us guessing about what the dire consequences 
Assam will be facing in the event it becomes independent.

I do have a fairly active imagination, but even I cannot see what you 
see. You disavowed what Mukul dada speculated on--a Hindu massacre of 
the 'lungi-menace'.

Since you won't tell us what you can see but we don't, would you like 
me to speculate? I know you get heart-burn over that too, something I 
wouldn't like to  do to to my elders, if I can help it.

So, one more request--pleeeeease, pretty please, enlighten us, would you :-)?
And while you are at it, don't forget to explain Gandhi's utter lack 
of responsibility, as could be surmised from your theory, in seeking 
India's
independence.

>Enemies of India are enemies of Assam.

*** If it is TRUE, can the reverse of it be true as well? That 
enemies of Assam are enemies of India? I will await your answer to 
follow up with another question on that.

***  So you would like for us to AVOID humanizing them 'illegals' , 
the 'lungi-menace' by attemting to understand WHY they continue to 
come into Assam and the NE region? But do you not know that it is an 
old trick of despots and bigots to use language to rob those they 
hate of their humanity, thus making it palatable to  cause atrocity 
over them, to perpetrate ethnic-cleansing, to send them to 
gas-chambers? Is that what your study of Hindu epics, your 
Vedic-ethics taught you Himen-da?

I am no Hindu, and know nothing of Vedic-virtues, but an ordinary 
human response tells me that even illegal-B-deshi-Muslims have a 
human face. That they too have a right to live. I realize it is a 
problem for Assam, for the NE, taking away their land.  BUT what is 
YOUR solution? I mean other than to demonize them with labels, with 
words?  WHY does not INDIA with the constitutional authority and 
responsibility and controls over the resources NOT do anything about 
protecting the borders?

Now if you recite your old excuse of 'them Congresswallas' and their 
vote-banking needs as the CAUSE, you will fool none of us who can 
think and look at issues critically. To us they are ALL Indians. 
Congressis, BJPs, RSS's AGPwallas--you name them! They all feed from 
the same trough, stocked by Delhi! And they are beholden to the same 
forces that feed them.

And your new alibi of India's 'weakness' does not change the picture 
either. Yes, India is a pathetically WEAK state. Anyone who has any 
knowledge of rudimentary political science knows that. But that is 
another reason why Assam does not want to REMAIN under a 
dysfunctional, fractured, directionless behemoth of a forced union, 
held together by brute force that is India. Assam needs to become 
free of them desi-shackles to fashion its OWN ENLIGHTENED, MODERN, 
TRULY DEMOCRATIC state, incorporating the best the world has devised 
so far!

You Himen-da, as a thoughtful and able well-wisher of Assam owe it to 
Assam to support its ambition of remaking itself from the shambles of 
a dysfunctional desi-colony, instead of attempting to keep it under 
India, merely because of your fear of losing your Hinduttwa to the 
lungi-menace! Life is a whole lot more than your 'jaat', or so one 
would hope.

Best,

c








Best,
