C'da,
I agree completely with these darn motives, hidden agendas, or what
you will. But, you, of course will agree, that the opposite is also
true.
**** WHAT opposite side Ram?
What is an opposite side to exploring, dissecting, pointing out or
otherwise laying-bare to desi-dysfunction and its adverse impacts on
Assam?
What is that HIIDDEN AGENDA here? To destroy India? Let us be
grown-ups Ram :-).
**** Nice try , but that attempt to make everything equally bad or
everyone at equal fault does not
fly.
That is, that there are those who also pretend that they are
'looking after India's welfare', but are actually on the look out
for every chance to bash anything India.
Some of these people also seem to RELISH anything that might
contribute toward India's downfall. These people also tend to have
that "gotcha-move".
Oh! what a lousy world - I mean a world full of hidden agendas.
For some, it is putting India on a pedestal, while for others it is
one more step toward the possible total destruction of India.
But, I guess, we all have to live with it - it does take two to tango. :) :)

The question of motives, widely seen in forums where desis
participate, almost always are raised by members of that crowd who
get heart-burn over something she or he is unable to face up to his
Indian condition but cannot debunk or refute. It is a particularly
popular gotcha-move with the crowd that also spouts
'so-called-secularist' ,'pseudo-secularist', 'mera-bharat-mahan' and
such other catch-phrases ( you know what they really mean) and are
quick to call others communists when their ability to articulate a
position against criticisms of India's loot
-from-the-many-to-enrich-a-few-policies. If you visit the Outlook
India feedback, ToI feedback, Rediff-feedback sites you see it all
the time. And if you pause to ponder over the level of discourse in
these sites you will want to hide if you identify as an Indian.

Dear Rajen Da,
Exactly what has motivated you to start this discussion? As far as
we are concerned, you are an NRA with American citizenship residing
in America. Do you seriously think these views really matter to even
a miniscule of the Indian ruling polity? I think the discussion on
maps and boundaries was settled in '47.
Even if India runs on the dirty word "Vote Bank Politics", its the
voter whose opinion matters. That is why BJP got booted out after
India Shining campaign. - and Mayavati got power back in UP. So are
you a "voter?".
It may also be "vote bank politics" of a slightly different nature
that motivated Laloo to transform IR.
If the intention is to make a difference, why not come back and join
Indian politics?
Incidentally, TOI is running a campaign called "Future leaders" of
India. A bulk of the interested people who now want to join politics
are highly paid professionals from South India.
