Chandan:
I was confused. I thought you were talking
about changing GOI to Singapore model. But may be not. Looks like you are
talking about Assam. taking Assam away, making her an independent
country on a Singapore model? I am glad that finally you have voiced your
position.
I say, Best of Luck. Get the support of
the Assamese people and go for it. That is the beauty of democracy. You can do
what you want with the support of the majority. If some monority opposes,
you can always play desi-demokresi.

My guess is that most, if not all, of the Assam
net advocates of desi-
demokrasy would accept a Singapore style democratic
republic, even though
they might not be able to do so in these
discussions, primarily for face saving
considerations :-).
But it
is not hard to imagine that there will be a period of transition of a few
months, even years--two, three--maybe even five, which could cause
displeasure, even suffering, particularly to those who have gotten used to
their comfortable dispensations aquired under the present state of anarchy
and oligarchy.

Cd,
That's why I wrote " This is not to say that such actions can be
yoked to religion itself".
You are right.Just forty years ago, Singapore was a war-battered British
port,which had rapidly growing,poor,uneducated population living in slums and
households.Singapore struggled along until 1965,when it became an independent
nation with prime minister Yew in firm control.Forty years later,75% of
families,the previous slum-dwellers own their homes.Despite a few harsh
measures ( eg,forced savings),Singaporeans are happy with their paternalistic
government.
