If the final question boils
down to whether GOI believes in Gandhian principle or not, then the answer will
be NO. I don't think anybody in India is practicing Gandhian principle.
Like any other 'civilized' country, (USA, UK, and all others) India is
practicing a tit-for-tat policy.
It is a game of Crime and
Punishment.
Now the question is should we
just compare ULFA to Subhas Bose and Phizo all the way, and leave for GOI
to practise Gandhian principle?
And as Chandan has clarified the
issue, GOI will not be THE looser.
We can speak and talk and talk and
cry.
GOI will not be THE
looser.
What should we do?

C'da,
By and large one can agree with him, though one thing I found wrong
with Lohit da's letter is
Indian Government must show more
maturity (than the ULFA, whom it often refers to as
ULFA
boys),
Well, you and I know, its only people like MRG
who lovingly refer to them as 'our boys'. I doubt if there is any love lost
between the GOI and ULFA :)

Governor's
remark
Sir,- Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. However, as a
Governor he does not show statesmanship. As a General, he only
seems
to know violence, war, and killing. Peace and prosperity
require
negotiation to understand and settle the differences. "An eye for
an
eye makes the whole world go blind".
The Governor of Assam
expects ULFA to surrender first. If ULFA truly
believes (rightfully or
wrongfully) that India is an occupying force,
why would they surrender?
Did Naga leader Phizo ever surrender? Would
Subhas Bose have surrendered
to the British? Indian Government must
show more maturity (than the ULFA,
whom it often refers to as ULFA
boys), get over its ego, and start a
dialogue with sincerity. If the
top public servants believe in Gandhian
ideals (which they exploit to
their advantage), they must stop this
tit-for-tat game.
Assam and the Assamese people need a permanent and
acceptable
solution with dignity, honour, and autonomy that it had
enjoyed prior
to the British Raj and subsequent Independence from the
British.
-Yours etc., LOHIT DATTA BARUA, Humble, Texas,
USA.
