Hi Nayan:
I'm glad that at last you admitted that you are a wimp.
*** Didn't realize you were under the mistaken idea that I was
otherwise. Why didn't you just ask. I am not ashamed of being a wimp
to admit it. Haven't you noticed how I never accuse anyone of being a
'coward' unlike your brave compatriots in assamnet? That is because
I am one myself :-).
about the suicide bomber thing, no matter who ever says that, Till
the attacks are against the civilians >of Assam, they will be
deplorable and taken as an act of terrorism by the people of assam
against >them and not as anything else.
*** I am sure your warning will be taken due note of those who might
be contemplating such. Question is whether they will be shaking in
their chappals from it ? If past and present experience is any guide
however, that may not be enough of a deterrence. What do you think ?
Maybe you can as ask a Tamil Tiger or a Kashmir Freedom Fighter if
they are deterred by warnings of the righteous like yourself.
Will you be able to demonstrate your commitments to a peaceful
resolution of the conflict by standing up and supporting the plea
of the 'traders' published in the AT that Barta Bistar posted ?
In case you have not noticed, I have not commented upon the doings
of any organisations until now
*** That shows your fair-and-balanced outlook and respect for the law
which, I presume, holds no one should be held guilty until so proven
in a court of justice. Such magnanimity is the stuff of legends and
differentiates a high-court advocate from ordinary mortals .
I as a concerned citizen of Assam, would like the fear factor out
of the minds of the people, who are >afraid to venture out to any
market areas even during the day time.
*** That must make you unique! Glad you pointed that out.
So for me and for the people of assam, who does not have the means
to find out who are behind such >heinous acts, these will be just
random acts of terrorism.
*** There you go! You do know how to distance yourself from the
realities that surround you with the use of words. Just like Ram
distanced himself from the humanity of those people who appealed to
GoI for bringing and end to the violence thru negotiations with just
one word "TRADERS", thus discounting their humanity and concerns.
With such intellectual bravery, you all hold up your civilization as
a beacon to the world.
Everybody is concerned about only one thing. THAT IT SHOULD STOP.
*** But are YOU? And if you are, why did you AVOID answering the
question I asked:
Will you be able to demonstrate your commitments to a peaceful
resolution of the conflict by standing up and supporting the plea
of the 'traders' published in the AT that Barta Bistar posted ?
But I realize, one gets carried away with all the writings and can
miss a point or two. So, would YOU put your money where your mouth
is and support the plea of these TRADERS, even though they could be
expended as mere opportunists, to seek the ONLY possible way to bring
an end to the conflict?
I shall wait with bated breath :-).
I'm on your case because i know that you alongwith some others who
do not have the guts to give >blood are instigating others to do
that on your behalf. and that is setting a bad trend.
*** So do you think you are having any effect? Is your getting on
my case and extracting the confession that I AM a wimp and a coward
is doing any good to your cause - namely silencing me or even those
other unnamed few? You don't observe too well do you Nayan?
Now why do you think anyone is getting instigated by what I say or
write? Because I say good things? Or because I say bad things? Are
these folks who get instigated by my writings fools and are willing
to go die on MY BEHALF fighting the Indian Army, me who does not
even live in Assam , because I defend Assam's rights to its resources
and rights to reform its governance for the BENEFIT of ALL its
people, not just a select few like you folks want to perpetuate?
That is quite an inference if you asked me. You flatter me so.
But something tells me it is a rather brazen attempt to intimidate
me. Unfortunately it does not work here
Nayan. You should have known that by now.

I did not ask you how many times you have/had been in Assam and

for that matter any bomber. Thus I also do not instigate others to

I as a concerned citizen of Assam, would like the fear factor out of
the minds of the people, who are afraid to venture out to any market
areas even during the day time. Whoever is doing this is not helping
the people of assam in any way but rather they are contributing to
the backwardness of this region.
Now the question arises as to who are behind these acts of
terrorism. No one has come forward to claim responsibility till now
neither has there been any explanation as to why these acts has been
committed. I as a private citizen do not have the means to find out
who are behind these. So for me and for the people of assam, who
does not have the means to find out who are behind such heinous
acts, these will be just random acts of terrorism. But I have asked
you to come and enlighten us as you seem to know more about these.
But your non acceptance of my offer would only make me come to a
conclusion that although you know more than us, you for some unknown
reason are unwilling to share it with us and so further make me
conclude that you are not sincere to the thoughts you defend
vehemently in assamnet.
And as to your knowledge about why these things are happening, no
one in assam is concerned as to why its happening. Everybody is
concerned about only one thing. THAT IT SHOULD STOP.
Thus you can count on hearing from me again . Don't forget , if my
analyses and reasoning had no influence, you would NOT be on my
case like crows over june-bugs :-), as they might say here in the US
midwest.
You are right. I'm on your case because i know that you alongwith
some others who do not have the guts to give blood are instigating
others to do that on your behalf. and that is setting a bad trend.
it is getting the young peole of assam into early graves. And they
also say many others things in US midwest. I would not like to say
that to a Assamese elder no matter how crazy he may be.
Regards,
Nayan
p.s: i will be in Geneva for 2 weeks, so replies may be a late in
coming. please bear with me.

you consider wishful thoughts plans for action.

*** Now, now Nayan! Let us not get all that worked up to damn your
God on this. I know you are a far better man than I could ever be,
and thus you don't comment on things that I barge right into. BUt
there is another reason also: I have an ability to look into the
basic principles underlying an issue, even if I might not have
knowledge of the facts or technical details. When we discuss and
debate issues, we can never be certain of what is presented as
factual evidence or technical details. Therefore we have to look
into the underlying principles to analyze them. It is a skill that
is not always evident in our forum, even though it ought to be,
considering the level of education and commensurate intelligence
expected.

Why do you not talk with the people. I am inviting you. If you
want I can get all the families of the victims send an invitation
to you. I will answer all your questions. But the forum should be
here in Assam. Before its people.
I had refrained from answering your questions then because someone
else had answered them better than i could ever have. And if you
remember I had said that. Even recently Chittaranjan Da had replied
to some of your queries in a very liberal manner to which I
throughly agree and can't think of adding anything more. I am not

Hi Nayan:
My apologies for the delay in replying to your incisive, steel-trap
questions . Here I am , humbly submitting to your inquisition
(albeit late for being out of town for the Memorial Day weekend)
without a whimper about your disappearing act whenever I ask some
questions in return. I realize you are busy deliberating on them and
will reply in 'due time' :-).
>"why all these Maara Maari is acceptable"
*** To foolish people like myself, it is NOT at all acceptable that
these conflicts should have ever escalated from disgruntlement
against governmental un-responsiveness to 'andwlons' ( agitations)
and then to insurgency , warfare, secret-killings, state sponsored
terrorism, bombing of civilian targets -- you name it. I await in
dread of the next possible phase of the continuing escalation---- of
suicide bombings, tacitly supported by those who shall not accept a
negotiated political solution ( as amply demonstrated by their
pronouncements in every conceivable media).
On the other hand, I ask of you and others like you, who make up the
brain-trust of your society, if your approach, of crying rivers of
tears, while continuing to stone-wall a political solution, aren't
mere crocodile tears of those who are UNAFFECTED by the violence,
sitting pretty in your comfortable prosperity and relative security?
Your intelligence, your wisdom, becomes an issue, only because of
what YOU say and what you do ( or don't).
Will you be able to demonstrate your commitments to a peaceful
resolution of the conflict by standing up and supporting the plea
of the 'traders' published in the AT that Barta Bistar posted ?
We will be all ears.

Some years back an Assamese family lost 5 family members in Delhi's
Saroniji Nagar bomb blast. Mr. Apurba Sarma of Nagaon, working in a
bank came for a vacation with his sister-in-law's family. Mr. Sarma
went to buy some sweets, and the other members were having 'aloo
chaat', when the bomb ripped through. 5 of them were pulverised
instantly, three badly burnt. We went to see his recuperating
survivors at Safdarjung Hospital. His youngest daughter was in ICU
and wanted to be with her mother. Mother and elder sister were no
more, and who could break the news to her? It was heart rendering.
Mr Sarma's life was devasted in a second's time. Just a second
before that moment it was full of life and fun, a moment later it
was all gone.

Dear C da,
I would like to invite you to Assam/Asom/axom (Athgaon, Fancy
Bazaar/Abroad the Brahmaputra Mail). The weather is really great.
Red is the Colour of the day. It feels really good when you take a
walk down the Bazaars. Tommorow is Guwahati Bandh. I'm sure you have
not enjoyed a Bandh for a long time. i suppose it does not happen
there in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. So why don't you accept my
invitation and come down for a prolonged visit. I will surely take
you everywhere. Will show you where the bomb blasts occured. Will
even take you to talk with the family of the victims. You can even
tell them how lucky they are to have given their beloved ones for
liberation. If you are lucky, we might even be eye witness to a few
bombings and see the RED oozing out of humanity.

This is what I feel should happen in Assam:
President' Rule be imposed on Assam.
ULFA given a strict deadline by which to surrender and come for talks.
Bangladesh also given a deadline by which they should destroy and
hand over anti India insurgents lodged in their territory.
In the failure of the above, India launches a full scale offensive on
ULFA in NE as well as inside Bangladesh territory.
If the World reacts, it will be a good fortune for India. India has
enough evidence of how terrorists are striking India from across the
border and how Bangladesh is offering a safe sanctuary to these groups.
India should come out of it's puppet like spineless existence. If it
wants to be a superpower in the next 2 decades it should behave like
one. What is the use of spending so much of national wealth on
defense if it can't even protect it's own borders. Look at Israel, it
launched a full scale offensive against Lebanon to rescue 2 of it's
soldiers from Hezbollah.
