O' kamal:
kaleidoscopic federation.
**** WHAT exactly is this K-fed Bapa? Are you suggesting Assam is
in charge of its own destiny, making use of its best of human
resources , with controls over its natural resources? Does this FED
you are alluding to allow Assam to bring its best out to take care
of itself? That it polity is independent? That it has controls over
its finances?
What kind of a voodoo federation are you speaking of? Does it really
exist or is it merely a figment of some kharkhowa imagination steeped
in 'bhangor jaal' ( cannabis induced torpor) :-)?
Those who, on the one hand claim that Oxomiyas do not want any part
of sovereignty, but on the other hand oppose a plebiscite to
determine if it really is so, obviously are incapable of realizing
that those who are observing silently are a bunch of morons, who
can't put two ands two together to figure out what it amounts to.
That, Kamal, is a highly tenuous proposition if you asked me.
Infact I have gone on record saying that I am disgusted with both
the Government and you (see my >reply to C Da's post) because
neither has done anything for peace and progress of Assam (I have
not >seen any results in 28 years, I have become a man from 4 months
old baby).
*** I agree that Nayan is one of a very few, who had the courage of
his convictions to support a plebiscite., even though he slinked
back to the cave he came out of when I challenged him to put his
nmoney where his mouth is and raise his voice in support of a
plebiscite. Instead of accepting the challenge, he put me , in his
own words, "ignore list", declaring he won't answer my questions. I
can't imagine why, heh-heh .
But here Nayan makes a very curious claim: That *I*, cm, have not
done anything, like his govt., to bring peace to Assam. Do *I*, a
foreigner, have either the resources, or the responsibility to do,
ANYTHING at all for him or his state? Tell you what Nayan, you need
to go back to your law-college texts and see if you can figure that
out., about MY responsibilities here. What I do is out of the
goodness of my heart :-), not because I owe you or your ilk anything.
Further down I noticed that Nayan exhorted Rubi to "---Please ask
Chandan Da not to barge in and write a hilarious reply to what i have
written coz i won't reply then." That , by itself is quite hilarious.
Does Nayan think that I have been prompting Rubi surreptitiously? And
he still has not figured this out, even though I explained it in so
many words: That I don't need his permission, like he does not need
mine, to BARGE IN on any debate or discussion in progress in this
forum. Looks like, among other things, Nayan is also afflicted with a
learning disability. But , (sigh!!!) he is not alone here.
I have become a man from 4 months old baby
****That, I must give Nayan credit for, considering that he overcame
such an impossible hurdle faced by so few men :-). I don't know
Nayan---you don't learn , do you? But I am 62 and patient, unlike SH.
I hope you will learn, one of these years.

of no consequence as far as I am concerned.
I respectfully disagree with Mr.Nayanjyoti Medhi's opinion,voiced in
this forum in regard to holding a plebiscite in Assam focusing
solely on the sovereignty issue as demanded by the ULFA,who are
itching to break-up a 60-year-old kaleidoscopic federation.Why do we
have to hold a referendum,buckling under the pressure of an outfit
that has been outlawed by the Government ? Is Assam an exclusive
preserve of the ULFA ? The right to self-determination,if allowed in
Assam,would then be reduced to a series of voting
exorcises,conducted every 10 years or so in order to meet the demand
of the new generation,at whose whim the border of a country could be
defined and redefined.It will not be very difficult to imagine the
chaos,it would create in a polyglot,multi-ethnic and multi-religious
state as Assam's,if such recipe were to be applied state-wide as a
solution.

Dear Rubi,
I thought since you have been following my postings in Assam online
and Assamnet, You would be enlightened as to what, I as an Assamese
would want for me and my fellowmen. But it saddens me because, maybe
the one interacting with me and the one following my posts are
probably not the same person. If both were the same person, then you
would not have written this to me. Even if you ask Chandan Mahanta,
he will tell you that I have been one of the few in Assamnet who has
been advocating against the kiling of our own brothers and sisters.
Whether it is in Bhutan, Burma, Arunachal or in their own backyards.
I have even gone on record saying that there should be a plebiscite.
Preferably a independent one where the Government agencies has no
part/role to play. I had requested only one condition that there
should be a guarantee that the people's wishes should be respected.
I am on record that i have been advocating against killing. of
innocents and others equally. But then how would you know. You are
not the one following the posts. However I would suggest that you
see the postings in Assamnet put there by me few days back. You will
find that it is me who wrote that there should be a plebiscite
because a very miniscule portion of the masses have access to
internet and their views here do not reflect the view of the masses.
And that is the very reason why I requested you (ULFA) to go to the
masses in the last post as well as in my reply to the letter written
by you to Shantikam Hazarika, a copy of which was also sent to me.
**** Instead of discussing how such an environment be created,
saying that the United Nations won't agree to a plebiscite, is not
like plucking a solution from the thin air?
****You have put emphasis on the changes the administration has brought in.
Pray tell me when and where did I make the statement that United
Nations won't agree to a plebiscite. And one thing more. I have
never emphasised on the changes the administration has bought in.
Again, I ask you, When and where did I say that? Infact I have gone
on record saying that I am disgusted with both the Government and
you (see my reply to C Da's post) because neither has done anything
for peace and progress of Assam (I have not seen any results in 28
years, I have become a man from 4 months old baby).

P.S: Please ask Chandan Da not to barge in and write a hilarious
reply to what i have written coz i won't reply then.

Dear Nayanjyoti Medhi,
We have read your comments in AssamOnline. You wrote," "Times have
changed. The boys are disillusioned after living in jungle camps
with mosquitoes and malaria, killing, avoiding the bullets of the
Indian security forces, and no real destination in sight. To the
mainstream Assamese the ULFA is no longer a struggle for national
salvation but one that keeps normal life disturbed. Is it not the
time to rethink and ask the people what they want? The ULFA should
ask the people if the Assamese people see the ULFA movement as a
beneficial and healthy activity for the betterment of the Assamese
people? Do the Assamese people really feel they are not part of
India and are being exploited by New Delhi?
Now the final question is that whether The ULFA movement is
something that is wanted by the people of Assam and supported by
them or is it something which is being imposed on them." We find
that your statement is a mere repetition of what the unified command
structure has been saying for the last twenty eight years. We do
not accept such views. The colonial administration has been trying
to steer the fate of the liberation struggle of Asom to their liking
for the past 28 years. You have put emphasis on the changes the
administration has brought in. But, why the struggle by thousands of
freedom fighters in a tough situation created by fifth columnists
facing uncertain future is still ongoing has not been highlighted by
you?
The ULFA has admitted of civilian casuality in unfortunate
circumstances(viz suddenly appearing during firing) while conducting
operations against the enemy. Anticipating such casualities we have
publicly requested people not to be with the occupation forces or in
close proximity of the military camps or otherwise.
The murder of engineer Ajay Deka and the old woman Sabitri
Rajbangshi has proven again our contention that the unified command
structure has been involved in these crimes in a planned manner to
malign the ULFA. Some may not believe our position, but, they
should not believe the unified command structure's assertions
either. You are talking about people supporting the unified
structure but there is no mention of the need for independent
inquiry into their operations leading to human suffering and deaths.
Hence we find your views biased.
We are saying that there are masses who want an independent Asom. We
have demanded a plebiscite on the restoration of Asom's sovereignty
under the supervision of the United Nations. We have declared long
time ago that we shall accept the verdict of the people.
Pre-judging of a possible negative outcome of such a plebiscite
conducted in a environment fee of fear, surely is not devoid of
prejudices? Instead of discussing how such an environment be
created, saying that the United Nations won't agree to a plebiscite,
is not like plucking a solution from the thin air? Why do you have
to be dependent on whether India will agree to it or not? Without
gauzing the true depth what the majority of people of Asom wants,
based on a opinion poll conducted at the behest of the army and the
police and use of the internet voting available only o some town
dwellers, you suggest be the decisive verdict on the fate of the
land and the people?
Is it not very childish to talk like this?
With warm wishes

28 years have gone by since the start of the liberation struggle by
the United Liberation Front of Assam. Many boys have died and their
bodies rest in unmarked graves in jungles of Bhutan, Arunachal,
Myanmar and still many have died in their own backyards. Many are
languishing in the different jails all throughout Assam . Many have
surrendered and joined the mainstream. Not only the boys, with them
many civilians who did not have anything to do with liberation have
given their lives in this ongoing struggle between the state and the
liberation army.
United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) was formed on April 7, 1979
at the Rang Ghar in Sibsagar to establish a "sovereign socialist
Assam" through an armed struggle. Of course, there was an initial
euphoria and an unnaturally heightened sense of alienation because
of the step motherly attitude of the Indian Government in the
initial stages of the movement. The truth has since been gradually
realised and that sense of alienation has died.
Times have changed. The boys are disillusioned after living in
jungle camps with mosquitoes and malaria, killing, avoiding the
bullets of the Indian security forces, and no real destination in
sight. To the mainstream Assamese the ULFA is no longer a struggle
for national salvation but one that keeps normal life disturbed. Is
it not the time to rethink and ask the people what they want? The
ULFA should ask the people if the Assamese people see the ULFA
movement as a beneficial and healthy activity for the betterment of
the Assamese people? Do the Assamese people really feel they are not
part of India and are being exploited by New Delhi?
Now the final question is that whether The ULFA movement is
something that is wanted by the people of Assam and supported by
them or is it something which is being imposed on them.
