*** So here I am face to face with Rajib Das' ace question, his trump card!
But before I can attempt to answer the question, I must know the following:
*WHAT is it that the South is doing with the current system that the NE cannot?
*I also need to know what the South consists of.
* What are the Souths circumstances, compared to the NE's?
* what is the South's history compared to the NE's?
Tell us Rajib, and I will try to answer your questions.

Like I said, I have not seen a direct response from you (or others in the board) to the simple question I have posed. I was hoping something will come out this time around. You still have an evasive response on this one, as usual in your artful way :-)
I swore off a doctorate of any kind some time back! I have also learnt to be sceptical about self-proclaimed doctorates who participate in online boards on topics such as this. They almost always are as ignorant as I am.

Have you considered publishing it as a dissertation on the NE's troubles and why India is not responsible for it? Maybe there is a doctorate for you in it :-).
