Dear Umesh! Thank you for the concern but what i said was true. Some people love instigating others to do things they themselves don't have the guts to do. I just wonder why these people don't leave the comfort and luxury of city life and go to jungle to fight for the independence which they presumably want. Don't really have anything to say but to smile.

Nayan-da, That is brave comment.

Your family does not have to worry about whether you will come back home safely from the market. THE PEOPLE HERE IN THIS LAND THINK IT EVERY MOMENT WHEN THEY GO OUT OF THEIR HOME.

First of all let me thank Chandan da for the compliment: Nayan asks good questions, but he is getting ahead of himself, like Dilip Deka did yesterday. The questions also demonstrate a profound inadequacy of the understanding of makings of a democratic state, how it is supposed to function, and the citizens' responsibilities towards making it work. I would have hoped, people like Nayan, an advocate of the high-court, would have been more educated about it. But unfortunately it is yet another result of the colonial style of governance, controlled from a remote location, that failed to create the institutions at the grassroots level empowering them to learn how to *govern themselves*, while our educational system bypassed it entirely, creating generations of otherwise highly skilled people, whose idea of a democratic state begins and ends with the vaunted desi 'elekshuns'. Had India attempted to establish local institutions of *democratic self-governance*, instead of adopting the colonial rulers' top-down,remote controlled approach; sixty plus years since independence, India would have become a far better state today and would not be fighting insurgencies and rebellions all across the length and breadth of its territories, born out of the unresponsiveness and failure to deliver on its responsibilities. *coming from Chandan da, i take his (yellow highlighted) words as a compliment because I am yet to cross 30 years of age. And I also would like to THANK Chandan da for (see red highlighted) the clarification. i think this ongoing revolution (if you THINK it can be defined as a REVOLUTION) is also being controlled from a remote location, [leaving the illegal immigrants to fill the vacant jobs or work or fields] that failed to create the institutions at the grassroot level empowering them to learn how to govern themselves. [Chandan da seems to have forgotten the panchayats which are doing a decent if not good job in the villages (see blue highlight above)]. * ** *I must make it very clear at this point that I am not an Advocate of the Indian Government. Neither am I an irresponsible citizen of this land (ASSAM/AXOM etc.,) who will instigate my brothers to take up arms and die in jungles from unknown bullets so that illegal immigrants can come and take away the land on which these boys could have worked and fed their families. * ** ** And Chandan da I do not want to trap you and make you come out of your UTOPIAN dream.
