Another interesting spin. I have not heard any one's family being
harassed by ULFA and it is indeed very difficult for a military
person to hide his identity. The thing is this type of news can be
'manufactured' by just sitting in one's desk and put on one's
imagining caps.
*** Here I agree wholeheartedly. This whole picture of Assam being
under the ULFA's dictats day-in-and-day-out, is one that has been
manufactured by lazy and/or malicious Indians ( often assisted by
equally malicious Oxomyas) with little incentive to do serious
journalistic reporting.

quite a revelation. On the other hand, national media earlier
reported that due to fear of ULFA those Assamese serving in armed
forces in Kashmir etc tell neighbors etc that they work in banks as
officers/clerks - so that their family may not be harrassed.

Air Marshal spills beans on 'hypocrisy'
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Barbora speaks at the media conference in Shillong. Picture by
Eastern Projections
Shillong, April 2: The indifference of successive governments and
disillusionment with the "hypocritical" conduct of seniors have
forced a large number of officers from the Northeast to quit the
services.
That was Air Marshal P.K. Barbora's first observation after he
assumed charge as air officer commanding-in-chief of the Eastern Air
Command.
Addressing a news conference in Shillong, Barbora said several
efficient young officers of the Northeast were leaving the services
because they were "highly sentimental" and could not cope with the
"hypocritical" attitude of their seniors.
"The indifferent attitude of the earlier governments towards the
Northeast, coupled with a feeling of alienation, have led the
defence forces to a situation where it has a negligible number of
personnel from the Northeast. Earlier governments tried to use the
same yardstick for all problems in the region and that led to
chaos," he said, adding that the situation was changing gradually.
