Good question! Not only Indian citizens, but from one of the seven sisters' states - Assam, the oldest one.

*** That has covered the gamut of the choices made available by desi-democrasy.  What is left to be tried? Don't tell me --- Togadia, Narendar Modi, right?Someone who can atleast think of the Assamese people like our neighbouring CM's thinks of their own. Certainly not the ULFA.  They have never shown any sincerity to the cause they claim to be fighting for.
Or how about how YOU see it done? Start with an economic boycott of Bangladeshi. Don't employ, don't buy from them. All the recent trips by Bangladeshi tour agents is nothing but  a ploy to push in more of their kind in NE India. 
If their numbers have grown to such an extent that they do not have to rely on others buying their stuff, then there is no option but to drive them out just as the Nagas and the Arunachalis have done. If our neighbours could do it why can't it be done in Assam? Who will do it - the people of Assam ( Assamese, Bodos, Karbis, Kacharis, Garos, Rabhas, Mising, Bengalis, .. ) will have to sink their differences and form a united front to drive them out. 

Perhaps you would consider raising a new insurgency group, one that would not take shelter in B'desh, so they can rid you of the lunigi-menace? Would that work?
It has worked in Kashmir, hasn't it? The difference is that insurgent groups have driven out minorities( read Kashmiri Pandits ) from their land.

I would like to hear your opinion on the very threat itself. Perhaps it is was just an immature outburst, you would think. As an Indian in the US, would any Indian national/organization get away by threatening the Americans in their own country? I am all ears. On the lungi menace itself, what is your final limit of acceptance, meaning what do they( read B'deshis)  have to do for you to acknowledge that, "Yes, they are a threat to Assam." 

Also please stop blaming India for all of Assam's ills. Think it has become a habit for you. The problem lies within. The Nagaland and Arunachal Govt has acted on it's own without any Indian Govt support.

Awright , so WHAT would their plan be? How would they go about doing what you want done?

Or how about how YOU see it done? Please--don't repeat that earlier scheme that you had against ULFA and its sympathizers. Does not work.  Really!

I am very curious about the possibilities, having came upon a blank wall, sort of, long ago; other than absorbing those that came earlier and reducing the flow in the future. Except , WHO will perform the  latter ? India won't. Assam has no resource it controls. Compound that with the hardest of all--choosing someone in Assam who can act independently, without acceding to the Indian system and its controls, which has failed you again and again.

WE will be all ears.

Unfortunately the tent can only stretch to a point and beyond that it will break apart. Why not get rid of the camel.

Today our 'honourable' CM has mentioned that only 38 of the thousands pushed back from Nagaland and Arunachal are doubtful citizens, rest belong to Assam. Will he then bring this up with his counterparts in Nagaland and AP as to why Indian citizens were pushed back. We have people in power who are more interested in retaining their seats at any cost. We have fine examples in recent history from the likes of Hiteswar Saikia, Prafulla Mahanta and now Tarun Gogoi. That is the tragedy of Assam.
The situation is different in the tribal states where the Govt is hand in glove with the drive of the students organisation and is lending all support. The biggest insult was the CM asking the AASU and AAMSU to work together to prevent infiltration. Isn't AAMSU the very organisation that threatened the Assamese people? How does AASU work with them when their goals are 180 degrees apart. AASU wants Bangladeshis out and AAMSU wants to make Assam a B'deshi colony?

I like that. It would be even better if the camel promises to do just that and not to turn that area into a zoo. :)

I don't think it is neither possible nor practical to push out the camel now after all those long years. How about extending the tent and teach the camel how to co-exist. :)

That's a good story and amply reflects the current situation in Assam.
We are in a situation where the camel is already halfway in the tent. It has to be pushed out before it pushes us out.

There is this story of the Arab & his camel.
It goes something like this (for those who don't know the story).
The Arab had pitched his tent for the cold Arabian night (after having fed the camel).
After sometime, the camel asked the Arab :"the night's so cold, if I could just put my nose inside the tent"
The Arab, being kind-hearted and compassionate, readily agreed.
Once the camel had his nose in, he wanted to get some more of himself inside the tent, and as predicted, the Arab agreed.
As the night progressed, and well into the morning, the Arab found himself well outside the tent, while the 'poor' camel was resting comfortably inside, occupying the whole the tent.
Late in the morning, the Arab, asked if he could share a small part of the tent - and guess what the camel told him............:) :) and how many of you think the Arab got his tent back?
(no grand prizes for correct answers:))

What would be the consequences would beanyone's guessJSFirst they want a separate council.The AAMSU NotorietyLast Saturday, Ajijul Hussain Khondakar, chief organizing secretaryof the All Assam Minorities Students' Union (AAMSU) came down heavilyon the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) for the latter's new and justinitiative to flush out illegal Bangladeshis from Asom, especially inthe wake of the oust-Bangladeshi drive in neighbouring States.Khondakar also branded AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharyya as a''Congress agent''. Take it this way: even if one believes thatBhattacharyya is a Congress agent, it does not produce any greatunsettling effect, compounded by treason and conspiracy to decimatethe Asomiya society, as the effect produced in the AAMSU's show ofsolidarity with illegal Bangladeshis after, of course, defining themas Indian 'minorities'. Which means even if Bhattacharyya is aCongress agent as the AAMSU would have us believe, that is not makinghim prone to any allegation that he is an agent of the ISI andBangladeshi fundamentalist and terrorist organizations. (Just thinkhow easily one would brand the AAMSU and its other varieties ascohorts in the ISI-Bangladeshi design for Asom.) Which further meansif Bhattacharyya is indeed a Congress agent - hear this now, MrKhondakar - the AAMSU should have nothing to say against him becausea Congress agent, not mainstream leader, would obviously doeverything clandestine to consolidate the Bangladeshi vote bank inAsom; after all, it is the Congress that has had the uniquedistinction of having worked out the perverse definition of illegalBangladeshis in Asom as Indian 'minorities' to be eventually followedby even the AGP during its Dispur days. Mr Khondakar, are you stilltalking sense then?Be that as it may, the AAMSU notoriety is actually manifest in itsassertion that it would go all out to protect the suspectedBangladeshis, who are being chased away by neighbouring States likeArunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, because they are not illegalBangladeshis but Indian 'minorities'. And then, the AAMSU alsothreatened the Asomiyas in lower Asom of retaliation if the oust-Bangladeshi drive continued in the State which, as it would say, isnothing but an Asomiya ploy to harass the 'minorities'. The questionis: How can an organization like the AAMSU have the guts to talk ofretaliation against the Asomiyas in Asom? It can be answered in twoways. One, today the AAMSU mentality stems from the fact that most oflower Asom is dominated by what it calls 'minorities', thanks notonly to illegal immigration from Bangladesh but also to theirfertility rate. Today the AAMSU is confident of saying anythingagainst the Asomiyas when it comes to lower Asom, because theorganization knows how safe it is, and how safe the 'minorities' are,in this part of Asom. It is pretty clear who most of these so-calledminorities are. And two, the AAMSU has the guts to talk against theAsomiyas because they foresee how Asom will look like, say, 10 years
down the line - as part of a greater Islamic state or, to use'secular' language, a greater Bangladesh.It happens only in Asom, this AAMSU audacity to speak against thepeople of the State - the majority - despite living in this State,using its resources, and of course thriving even at the cost of theindigenous populace. And it happens because a meek government haschosen to place the party and its 'traditional' vote bank above thecause of the motherland._______________________________________________assam mailing listassam at assamnet.orghttp://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
