We wish so many good things from the Rulers. But those usually do not happen
unless and until the vested interests of the rulers become one with the
aspirations of the people. It seldom happens. Let us see, whether the
suggestions in the book come handy to the Rulers or not.

Read the book on one sitting. It was an almost unprecedented
accomplishment for me, since I left college. I found it extremely
informative, as always. I was particularly impressed by your
realistic analysis of the unsustainable two-tiered citizenship, of
the ethnic homeland model and the proposal of for citizenship of
India as well as a state. Most of all, for me, it is the first
comprehensive attempt at finding an attainable and sustainable
resolution of these indigenous/immigrant conflicts that have so riven
Assam and the other 'states' around it. In that it stands out from
the xenophobic cacophony that has dominated the discourse not only in
Assam but has even spilled over to assamnet.
Big question however is if the powers that be will pay any heed?
Best.
