[Assam] Demand for Action etc.

[Chan Mahanta]

I have been paying attention to the heartfelt calls for action 
against terrorism etc. as well as the expression of routine Oxomiya 
angst about no one paying attention to their hurts.

While it is commendable to see our fellow men's noble expressions of 
solidarity with the victims of a given day, what jumps out  by its 
absence is ANY desire to raise a SINGLE word about how to put an end 
to these routine and increasingly violent eruptions of death and 
destruction that have become more and more frequent over the years.

It is unlikely that this group of people are intellectually unable to 
grasp what it would take to put an end to these episodes of mindless 
violence. Therefore one would have to conclude it is an unwillingness 
to stand up and be counted in support of a real and permanent 
solution.

In that, these displays of internet bleeding  are little  more than 
self-serving, useless and ultimately insincere grandstanding that 
will result in nothing. All it affirms is the unchanging Indian 
nature of
believing in the make-believe as an acceptable substitute for the real thing.
