*** There is truth to the observation here. But it may not be that simple. There also is a need for compliant administrators to execute the will of the politicians. If the executive branch does not go along with the legislators, then what good would come out of change of governments? So lining one's pockets may not always be the sole motive here to nurture a compliant cadre of babus. If the Babus are powers onto themselves, then the democratic will of the people would be totally meaningless. On the other hand when the elected politicians can go about manipulating the administrators, as they do now, that too is a problem, as is so w evident. We ought not to forget what was predicted when the youthful AGP boys threw out the Xorgodueu's regime. It was pedicted, correctly, that the then AGP boys coming to power would be clueless about running things--which they were- and that the entrenched bureaucracy would run things as they saw fit- which they did. Not to find excuses for the decades of AGP mismanagement, corruption and ineptitude, but the SYSTEM in place ruled, regardless of who came to power. And the SYASTEM in place WILL CONTINUE to RULE, no matter WHO comes to power on a given election cycle. *** To find ways out of Assam's morass it ( or for that matter all the other states as well) must isolate the FAULTS of the SYSTEM, correct them, and then only can hope to do things differently and get things done. *** And WHO will come to isolate those causes and find remedies for them? Will it be General Kohli? Will it be DONER? Will it be NDA? Will it be the Indian Constitution and the Supreme Court? Will it be a CM on a given date? I am sure one would not have to be an IIM graduate or a Biz School dean to figure out the answer.Question is : What now? I mean other than reverting back to pleas to stop complaining about the Center or ask soulful rhetroical questions if the Center REALLY has not done anything for the NE? cm At 9:06 PM -0500 2/14/04, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >In a message dated 2/13/04 9:51:46 PM Central Standard Time, >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > >All the powers that be get into the > act - the students organizations, the political > parties, the opinion givers.
