Partition is the root cause of all the problems. It benefits some of the power hungry people and the common people doesnot gain anything out of this. They only suffers. Look at the India - Pakistan partition case. Assam was connected with the rest of the world through a big land area. We had buisnesses through the river route and even through the sea route. Our per capita income was more than that of national average during pre-independence era. We had migration at that time as well. But, we gained from that as we had Madhav deva (the great contributor to Assamese Society after Sankardeva) and many more from that part and from whom we were benefited a lot. There was reverse migration as well from which we only gained. Now, after partition, we are landlocked. We are connected with the rest of the world only through the famous 'Chicken neck'. We dont have buisness through river route anymore. Journey to Calcutta from Guwahati takes 24 hours by train now. It was much less during pre-independence era even when we need to change trains. The per capita income has gone below the national average. It benefitted mostly one party because of this partition and ultimately it contributed to the Dynasty raj of one family. The partition was done due to the political greed of this family... And we the people of Assam are made to suffer from myriad of problems due to partition. Regards Gautam Choudhury
