Problem lies in our educated people migrating to USA and other greener pastures after getting full advantage of the govt provided educational infrastructure (whatever little is available).
Why can't these individuals stay back and try to change the situation?
Left behind are those people who actually has to shout slogans once in a while to get a refinery, a tea auction centre, an IIT et al.
And ASOMIYA's in Higher echeleons of Natun Dilli --- for them it seems they are actually from North India or Bengal. Only concern seems to be to jerk off that asomiya climbing below me in the ladder.

Dipankar,

Do you really think that someone could be deprived of what they deserve due
to prevailing discrimination. However, I can appreciate your point of view.

With all due respect to everyone who support the cause of ULFA or are in the
notion that central govt is biased against the north east, do you really
think establishing your own rights by "snatching" it from either friends or
enemies is the right action.........

It’s down to every individual at the end of the day; govt can only support.
Playing the blame game is temporary and can never last long and yet the
repercussions are severe and permanent.

I wasn’t brought up in Assam and have rarely set foot on my land, so my
opinion might not be significant. However, blaming the govt. for the
complete situation of the state is not justified. If people of Assam are so
bothered with the face of Assam’s roads, the least they could contribute is
to construct the road and drains in the periphery of their new homes. If
each household would care to spend the extra price of laying the road
outside their “dream house”, everyone would have better lanes to walk
through………

With regards to your concern with no major industries being set up in Assam
since independence, why wait for the govt to take the initiative. Be it a
personal or govt’s initiative to establish an industry, the results will
always be favourable for the people of the place in terms of more employment
opportunities and globalization of the state…

I hope that my personal opinion will not be misconstrued as my support for
the Indian govt (I am an engineer by profession and not a politician so I am
not radicalized)…I believe in “everyman for himself”. Besides evidences from
history prove that revolutions and changes happens due to the initiative of
one/more people together, not due to any govt’s standalone decision.

So we need to plan some course of action instead of passing the buck....If
our generation was to be trusted with the politics of the nation, we would
have nothing to complain about....
