Not a litany of Kharkhowa woes, I presume some of us are not aware
of these; else they would stopped doing things that they do to
prolong the list of woes from safe distance.

I have no problem with the aim to educate those in as deep a torpor
as to be unaware of these, even though one could argue that those
who are comatose are not worth the attempt to revive :-) . But to
enlighten us on how solutions could be found would mean something.
Repetitions of what we all know, does not. It is little more than
an abject display of bewilderment.
Same for those who go ga-ga over it :-).
Having said that, I would argue that there is nothing mysterious
about the problems cited. They are not new to the human condition.
Others have encountered them, conquered them and are on the paths to
progress. Therefore it does not even require INVENTING or
DISCOVERING hitherto unknown ways to deal with the issues cited. All
it takes is a DESIRE to keep our eyes and ears opened and a
willingness to learn from others and a determination to get it done.

That is the issue, isn't it?

I have come to believe that 'terrorism' subsists because it serves

It serves the arm supplying nations.

It serves the drug dealers.
It serves the corrupt army as it can do anything with the funds made
available, fund found and confiscated and also materials made
available including medicines. I have been told that the Indian army
destroy cancer drugs each year that could have catered to the needs
of the patient in entire north east region. Not only that,
such 'destroyed' medicines find their way back into the market:-).
It serves the police making hay in disturbed situation.
It serves the bureaucrats making hay in disturbed situation.
It serves the politicians... they use part of the loot for funding
elections and then take share of the loot out of counter insurgency
fund as well and can misappropriate developmental fund too for
personal gains.
It serves a part of the journalists.... who claim special privilege
..... from both sides. (Some body described them to me as Giant
Storks pinning the vultures (politicians) down to vomit the
semi-digested carcass and then gulping that vomit).
It serves criminals.
It serves the terrorists maintaining a life style that they could
not have afforded in the normal circumstances.
ONLY THAT IT DOES NOT SERVE THE COMMON MAN WITHOUT RICHES AND CLOUTS.

branded as part of an "unhappy gang with their so-called education".
And they would be 'selective' in answering their questions; which
means they would only reply to 'sincere' questions, from 'real
questioners' after their 'background check done'.
Well, in case they have to do a background check in my case, let me
tell you that my life has been an open book and if a background
check is requird in my case, it simly shows how much these people
are in touch with reality or the ground situations.
Incidentally, let me also tell, that there has been enough
background checks done about these people, their cohorts,
sympathisers, beneficiaries, supporters, hangers one and what not.
Lot of people already know who benefits from their actions, who are
actually propping them up. For example when they killed Sanjay
Ghosh, it did not require much background check to find out why they
did so, what was the nexus behind that sordid deal and who would be
the real losers if Majuli is genuinely saved in a very cost
effective manner. Obviously, they are buying time to prepare some
obfuscating response, what we may call "saale bere kobowa" reply in
the name of background checks and what not.
Also they have already said that they would ignore "halfwit
questions and questioners". How more selective can your comfort zone
be...
Interestingly, I was reading something today and I came across the
follwoing phrase: The truth is that many terrorists are doing very
well out of violence. Extortion rackets give them a lifestyle they
cannot aspire in times of peace. They have money, excitement and
status: what more you seek in life?

ULFA invites genuine sincere questions from persons(not gangs)
not happy with their so-called education ,wanting to KNOW how to
fight and win their great future in sovereign Assam .
Firstly we will have background checks done on real (?)
questioners. Please tolerate delays.
ULFA will ignore halfwit questions and questioners who think they
already know and are already bonded mentally or monetarily.
With Best Regards to respectable Assamonliners,
