*** Does the fact that AW ">has been demanding Assam's
independence." as reported by the illustrious "Kuldip S
Ludra,former deputy director of Institute for Strategic Research and
Analysis ( I looked him up at the web--quite an illustrious
intellectual--him:-)) automatically disqualify any claim made
by such a group in support of "--oppression of the individual by
the state" ?
Like for example, should Woodward and Bernsteins cracking open
the Watergate 'kelenkari' have been dismissed out of hand then. or
demonized now, because deepthroat turned out to be an FBI director,
who was leaking out 'state secrets, heh-heh,' illegally?
Then again, even if Assam Watch, or Mookool Hazorika is
demanding Assam's independence, as in Ludra's laments, does it make
them especially despicable :-)? As far as I know, and as quite a few
in this list know, that a great many people in Assam do exactly the
same, some overtly, and some not-so-overtly, for obvious reasons. Are
they too therefore not just as despicable, if viewed thru the
'security' lens of Ludra who seem to hold imperial rights to Assam
?
Finally, why do WE have to give two hoots about what the luddite
Ludra thinks, or believes, rightly or wrongly?

Many of us must be familiar with the Bangla adage that goes like this--" bhooter mukhe ram nam",the loose correspondence of which will be--" devil quoting scriptures".What has the axiom got to do with " Assam Watch",you must be wondering? It was a happenstance on my part. While reading an article on terrorism,I spied upon one ,written by Kuldip S Ludra,former deputy director of Institute for Strategic Research and Analysis,in which, he mentions Assam Watch as an organization that has been demanding Assam's independence.I know the existence of one Assam Watch,located in UK,formed by some " Eurokhuwas" ( read,European Kharkhuwas),the helmsman of the said organisation is Doctor Mookool Hajorika ( hoping this to be the correct transliteration of his name).The organization claims to be a watchdog group,whose objective is to emphasize the oppression of the individual by the state.Is there an organization ,bearing the identical name that demands Assam's independence?
