C'da, Is this a surprise? India has always held that there are some insurgents among Indians in Assam, Manipur etc, etc. It considers the actions by them as anti-India. If that is its position, why would GOI change just because you or others may want it. Why would India NOT seek the help of Burma? Also it helps little when you try to compare the Burmese Junta with the Indian Govt. --Ram On 10/4/07, Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 20:34:16 -0500 > To: "Ricken Patel - Avaaz.org <http://avaaz.org/>" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, " > [EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > From: Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: World roars on Burma - ads tomorrow > > Cc: > > X-Attachments: > > Hello: > > > We signed the petition and moved it on. > > > But I see a glaring omission here on WHO matter in the scheme of things, > in influencing the Myanmar's military bosses: INDIA. > > > India has been forging close military ties , conducting joint exercises > and the like, with the hope of squelching the sovereignty aspirations of the > Nagas , the Manipuris, the Assamese and so forth militarily, together with > that of the Shan people of Northwestern Myanmar who have been fighting for > independence from Myanmar rule. > > > I hope you all acknowledge it and make an issue. and not give India a free > pass, while fingering China. > > > > Chandan Mahanta > > > An Ethnic Assamese American > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > At 7:02 PM -0700 10/2/07, Ricken Patel - Avaaz.org <http://avaaz.org/>wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Dear friends, > > Our emergency petition to stop the crackdown on peaceful protesters in > Burma is exploding, with* nearly 500,000 signers from every nation of the > world*.
