*** I am perfectly willing to SUBMIT to the will of the people of
Assam, as expressed in a free and fair plebiscite. Heaven knows they
have suffered enough.

India or may be they don't.
*** And if they had a shot at expressing themselves, AFTER they
had an opportunity to EXAMINE the TRUTHS about their condition ( as
thru a free and unfettered discussion/debate of all pertinent issues),
if they choose to remain with India and share their dysfunctional
state of the state, so be it! I shall forever hold MY peace on
that.
And I salute YOU Utpal, for being able to think like that ( not
that I had a doubt).But can Ram? Can Rajen? Can Himen-da ? Can the so
many amongst us who sing the praises of democracy on the one hand, but
shall not accord the same to the people of Assam, or of Kashmir?

seccession" in the constitution.
*** Me too. But we all know the reality.

It does not matter what I or you feel (the elites of Assam) , what really matters is what the people of Assam feel. May be most of the people in Assam want seperation from India or may be they don't.
There is easy way to find out. Hold a plesbicite under a free neutral environment and avoid all bloodshed.
But somehow I think the present form of GOI does not have the moral courage to face the free and fair ballot that would decide the fate of Assam or NE for that matter. Also the question is whether pro-independence groups of NE have the moral courage face the same.
I hope someday the nation called India will be matured enough to incorporate the "instrument of seccession" in the constitution.
