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:))

>From the Sentinel editorial.I guess some(very few though) would laugh it off just as they havebeen laughing off the threats of the lungi menace or call it Islamic phobia.I strongly agree that their guts to threaten the Assamese people inlower Assam comes from numbers - that lower Assam -Dhubri, Goalparaand 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 beanyone's guessJSFirst they want a separate council.The AAMSU NotorietyLast Saturday, Ajijul Hussain Khondakar, chief organizing secretary of 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 great unsettling 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 a Congress 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 as cohorts 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 do everything 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 followed by 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 suspected Bangladeshis, 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 two ways. 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 anything against 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 the Asomiyas because they foresee how Asom will look like, say, 10 yearsdown 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 theindigenous populace. And it happens because a meek government haschosen to place the party and its 'traditional' vote bank above the cause of the motherland._______________________________________________assam mailing listassam at assamnet.orghttp://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org_______________________________________________assam mailing listassam at assamnet.orghttp://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
