*** If my views are without merit, why get so worked up about it? On the other hand, if what I am saying makes sense, then I can see why some folks would get real upset. >You said that people of Assam DOES NOT have a way to >show if they buy or do not buy ULFA's idea of >seccession . What I am saying is ... if they buy >the idea , why do not they boycott the election as >requested by ULFA ..... why are they disobeying ULFA >and promoting Indian Democracy. *** Just like in the recent Kashmir polls, in the absence of other alternatives, if the people boycott the polls, the only certainty is that they might end up getting something they REALLY don't want. So the people go picking the least evil. >I just saw some posting the other day that their are >some groups who want to seccede ... also , I hear in >US that there are some Texan groups who want to >seccede .... however the argument is immaterial .... *** That was a very astute observation. >But just try to put an article stating you want to >seccede and let us know how US govt treats you . *** Newspapers are not exactly there to give exposure to wackos. USA has the freedoms, and checks and balances, better than most in the world. And their institutions of democracy work, by and large. Therefore disaffection does not find a fertile enough ground to take roots and grow. That is the difference between the Indian empire and US democracy.
