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.

*** Unlike you brave folks , I am quite a wimp and have neither the desire

any bomber. Thus I also do not instigate others to become such. But I
thought you were informed enough to have known where news of that

countless asymmetrical warfares waged by freedom fighters and terrorists
alike in recent decades, around the globe.
I'm glad that at last you admitted that you are a wimp.
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. In case you have not noticed, I have not commented upon the
doings of any organisations until now. 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.

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

>"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.
