[Assam] AAMSU threat to Assamese

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:))

I guess some(very few though) would laugh it off just as they have
been laughing off the threats of the lungi menace or call it Islamic 
phobia.
I strongly agree that their guts to threaten the Assamese people in
lower Assam comes from numbers - that lower Assam -Dhubri, Goalpara
and Barpeta have become their strongholds.
Would any minority organisation be able to threaten the majority in 
any state in any country? What would be the consequences would be
anyone's guess

First they want a separate council.

The AAMSU Notoriety
Last Saturday, Ajijul Hussain Khondakar, chief organizing secretary 
of the All Assam Minorities Students' Union (AAMSU) came down heavily
on the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) for the latter's new and just
initiative to flush out illegal Bangladeshis from Asom, especially in
the 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 that
Bhattacharyya is a Congress agent, it does not produce any great 
unsettling effect, compounded by treason and conspiracy to decimate
the Asomiya society, as the effect produced in the AAMSU's show of
solidarity with illegal Bangladeshis after, of course, defining them
as Indian 'minorities'. Which means even if Bhattacharyya is a 
Congress agent as the AAMSU would have us believe, that is not making
him prone to any allegation that he is an agent of the ISI and
Bangladeshi fundamentalist and terrorist organizations. (Just think
how easily one would brand the AAMSU and its other varieties as 
cohorts in the ISI-Bangladeshi design for Asom.) Which further means
if Bhattacharyya is indeed a Congress agent  hear this now, Mr
Khondakar  the AAMSU should have nothing to say against him because
a Congress agent, not mainstream leader, would obviously do 
everything clandestine to consolidate the Bangladeshi vote bank in
Asom; after all, it is the Congress that has had the unique
distinction of having worked out the perverse definition of illegal
Bangladeshis in Asom as Indian 'minorities' to be eventually followed 
by even the AGP during its Dispur days. Mr Khondakar, are you still
talking sense then?
Be that as it may, the AAMSU notoriety is actually manifest in its
assertion that it would go all out to protect the suspected 
Bangladeshis, who are being chased away by neighbouring States like
Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, because they are not illegal
Bangladeshis but Indian 'minorities'. And then, the AAMSU also
threatened the Asomiyas in lower Asom of retaliation if the oust- 
Bangladeshi drive continued in the State which, as it would say, is
nothing but an Asomiya ploy to harass the 'minorities'. The question
is: How can an organization like the AAMSU have the guts to talk of
retaliation against the Asomiyas in Asom? It can be answered in two 
ways. One, today the AAMSU mentality stems from the fact that most of
lower Asom is dominated by what it calls 'minorities', thanks not
only to illegal immigration from Bangladesh but also to their
fertility rate. Today the AAMSU is confident of saying anything 
against the Asomiyas when it comes to lower Asom, because the
organization 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-called
minorities are. And two, the AAMSU has the guts to talk against the 
Asomiyas 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 the 
people of the State  the majority  despite living in this State,
using its resources, and of course thriving even at the cost of the
indigenous populace. And it happens because a meek government has
chosen to place the party and its 'traditional' vote bank above the 
cause of the motherland.
