That exactly is my point. Have we been able to trust them? They are even taking up scams like scaring away Indians to make place for themselves.

Like Rajiv said (and I fully agree/d): "it was as ridiculous as that of Osama Bin Laden calling upon Allah to deliver hell to the infidels."
But RSS trying to turn Assam into another Kashmir? How is that? Kashmir has majority of muslim population, and Assam is going to that direction - having illegal B'deshis coming to make muslim population 60% (as you said), so how is RSS trying to turn Assam into another Kashmir? I thought they are doing just the opposite - trying to stop that - may be in a ridiculous way, like taking up trishul instead of a 'gamosa'. Or was that BJP or the Hindutva or the RSS - well one of them!
> >Assamese really has a Tilika Mon like Jyoti Prasad said.
And that 'tilika mon' becomes 'ekebare monibo nuwara-koi tilika' when some of them refer to the other Indians who are non-Assamese as "foreigners". An otherwise broad-minded and well-read/travelled person like Chandan-da also thinks like that, can you blame some of the others??
