Sushanta,

Thanks for sharing Subir Bhowmik's report. Yes, his information are quality information and he is good at his analyses too. It is interesting to note that it needs Chinese persuassion to keep alive the demand of sovereignty. The autonomy within constitutional frame-work could have been bargained, without waging a war, in the manner the likes of Akhil Gogoi are doing by involving the affected people at large to fulfill their kind of demands. But, if the ULFA has to come down from their position of sovereignty, they better capitulate and beg apology from the people of Assam for all the carnage that can be attributed to them. In that case, where is the justification of any talks with them: after all, the movement initiated by the ULFA, whether right or wrong, was not to make Sri Rajkhowa or Sri Baruah Chief Minister/ Home Minister, as was agenda of Assam Movement leaders like Sri Mahanta and Late Phukan, or was it? And even if the present ULFA
 capitulates before the Indian State, there are numerous marginalised elements churned out by the Indian system to take up their fallen flag. Unless this source is cured, we will have enough fodder for waging our war of arguments here.
