No, they are not competent all the time, specially vis-a-vis Assam. But they are NOT the ONLY ones fop the blame. We have seen numerous instances where the GOI comes forward with ideas and resources, and the GOA is the one that drops the ball or is in some sort of inertia.
If blame has to be placed, we ought to be able to assign some generous proportion to the GOA, the politicians, intellectuals, insurgents and unscruplous business in Assam too. It can't be the Center all the time, every time.
I say this - because the Center cannot be Assam-centric. All states are under the same anvil vis-a-vis their relationship with the Center. Some have fared better than others - and some of these better faring states are not within the Hindi-wallah belteither.

No, when required the Center's feet too must be held to the fire. But we have to be fair. We have to be able to list and know what the responsibilites are for the State, politicians, its people, and others.

*** If indeed they are the competent, intellectually endowed politicians and administrators and with nothing but integrity oozing out of them and nothing but the good of Assam that drives their actions and inactions, then how come you or Rajen are including them in the list of the defaulters and charging them with doing NOTHING about what YOU GUYS see as its problemo numero uno, huh :-)?
What gives?
My guess would be that it is a 'bere-saale'-kwbwa' exercise. And if I am wrong do correct me please. What?

*** While I am with you on that, I still am looking forward to YOUR answers from that role-playing task of Dr. Tilok's where I hope YOU and other nay-syers would EXPLAIN how what I proposed may WORK, and if in your intellectually honest effort you only find that see it WON't work, and things as they are ought to remain.
Now that will be something you can beat us trouble-makers up with impunity Ram.
So go at it .

This fact that 'everyone' who is anyone has no interest in solving the problems is pretty well-known. It is only naive people like us who keep hoping against hope for some miracle solution.Rajen Barua, you or I with all our arguments back and forth have the grand affect of only spitting in the wind.Yes, there are a few people (even in Assam) who do want a solution to the problems, but they are just as helpless.>Wait! Don't tell me! It is because you are so much better than the rest, right?Not fair, C'da. The GOI and India has always been found fault with on this net. Going thru those mails over the years, one would come the conclusion that there are NO intellectuals left in the GOI, and that they are incompetent, useless and corrupt. One may also come to the conclusion that the GOI need look no further - but to Assamnet for ideas and intellect.Heck, the normal trend on the net is that there is nothing wrong with Assam, Assamese, our politicians or our insurgents. If one wants to find fault - look toward Indraprastha (or Hastinipura), and no further.Be that as it may - it is essential (to be truthful to ourselves) that we keep discussing such issues - both pros & cons.--Ram

I was talking about YOUR angst, your finger-pointing at everyone. Why is that ?
Wait! Don't tell me! It is because you are so much better than the rest, right?
Did I get it?

I probably have stated in the net before.Nobody is actually interested in finding solutions to these damn problems.It is not in the interests of those in power either in Assam or in India.It is not in the interest of ULFA.It is not in the interests of PCG.It is not in the interests of Assamese business community.Ans poor Hobo Diok Assamese public don't count anyway.What is happening in Assam is Insurgency is being turned into a business carrer.Or we may say Professional Insurgency at its best.60-40 ? No I wil take 70-30? What do you say Doc?Assam and the North East may teach the world a lesson.As I said before:It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.Happy New Year!!RB
