While Zoroastrians once dominated an area stretching from what is now Rome and Greece to India and Russia, their global population has dwindled to 190,000 at most, and perhaps as few as 124,000, according to a survey in 2004 by Fezana Journal, published quarterly by the Federation of Zoroastrian Associations of North America. The number is imprecise because of wildly diverging counts in Iran, once known as Persia the incubator of the faith. Survival has become a community obsession, said Dina McIntyre, an Indian-American lawyer in Chesapeake, Va., who has written and lectured widely on her religion. The Zoroastrians mobility and adaptability has contributed to their demographic crisis. They assimilate and intermarry, virtually disappearing into their adopted cultures. And since the faith encourages opportunities for women, many Zoroastrian women are working professionals who, like many other professional women, have few children or none. Despite their shrinking numbers, Zoroastrians who follow the Prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster in Greek) are divided over whether to accept intermarried families and converts and what defines a Zoroastrian. An effort to create a global organizing body fell apart two years ago after some priests accused the organizers of embracing fake converts and diluting traditions.

This is a tendency that to me sometimes appears suicidal. And they are prepared to make that sacrifice. In South Africa, the last Zoroastrian priest recently died, and there is no one left to officiate at ceremonies, said Rohinton Rivetna, a Zoroastrian leader in Chicago who, with his wife, Roshan, was a principal mover behind the failed effort to organize a global body.

[Assam] Influx a major threat to demography: WB CM
Influx a major threat to demography: WB CM From Kalyan Barooah NEW DELHI, Sept 6 Illegal infiltration threatens to distort the demographic pattern along the borders. Training camps are flourishing inside Indias neighbouring country, where young men are trained in the use of weapons and explosives and they infiltrate into the country with the intention of carrying out terror strikes and subversive strikes. If you are trying to guess, who the speaker was, think again, for you might be in for surprise, because it was none other then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Buddhadeb Bhattcharya and not any Chief Minister of a BJP-ruled State. His speech at the meeting of the Chief Ministers on internal security left the Central Government and the Left parties equally stunned.Yesterdays meeting had more than its share of surprises, as Congress and Left-ruled Chief Ministers made a hue and cry over the illegal infiltration from Bangladesh. If Bhattacharya was concerned, Asom Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, albeit belatedly admitted that the State faced threats from jehadi elements, while Haryana Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda asked Centre to issue work permit to Bangladeshi migrants.The threat from across the border, the Chief Minister felt was ominous, the Prime Minister was cautioned. It seems that there has been paradigm shift in the strategy and the eastern border is now the platform chosen for launching terror strikes in the Indian hinterland. Intelligence inputs also reveal that the hostile intelligence agencies of our neighbouring country are intent on recruiting young men from improvised families and indoctrinating them with the poison of hatred for India, said the West Bengal Chief Minister.The Royal Bhutan Government carried out a major offensive and cleared Bhutanese territory of these Indian insurgent groups, although inputs available with us indicate that these groups are again trying to set up highly compact, extremely mobile camps, which can be rapidly dismantled and moved at the first indication of the approach of security forces, said Bhattacharya.The West Bengal Chief Minister was referring to ULFAs latest bid to re-establish its camps in Bhutan, which was reported by this newspaper. The Bhutanese Army Chief had held an emergent meeting Chief of Army Staff General J.J.Singh in Delhi to take stock of the situation following the news reports.Meanwhile, stopping short of calling for a similar flush-out operation in Bangladesh, the West Bengal Chief Minister stressed early completion of the border fencing project, if necessary, by deviating from the rigid 150-yard line to include villages located near the border.The two border guarding forces, the BSF and SSB are deployed along the international borders but these are spread somewhat thinly on the ground, he said.The BSF is entrusted with guarding the Indo-Bangladesh border and SSB with Indo-Bhutan border.Perhaps, taking a cue, Gogoi joined in, conceding that activities of jehadi groups in the State were on the rise. This he said became evident following arrest of a number of such activists in the State. The Chief Minister called for adequate precaution and cautioned that both Centre and State should remain alert. The possibility of a threat from jehadi groups exists because of proximity of Bangladesh with Asom, he told this newspaper.What came next from Chief Minister Hooda, was an eye opener for the Centre. He said that Bangladeshi migrants should be provided with work permits and all Indian nationals should be given identity cards. Asserting that Haryana was facing problems with illegal migrants from Bangladesh, he pointed out that whenever Delhi Police initiated a drive to catch Bangladeshis to deport them, the offenders sneaked into neighbouring Haryana. More coordination was needed between security agencies in Delhi and in Haryana to tackle security issues in Delhi and the national capital region (NCR), he said.

[Assam] “The ULFA has been conceded its unrefo rmed intransigence on ‘sovereignty’ ”. Is it the PM of India or the EGoM who conceded to t he ULFA’s demand on the restoration of Sovereig nty of Assam?
Gunning for ideas http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEJ20060906054214&Title=Second+Editorial&rLink=0 Wednesday September 6 2006 16:03 IST Internal security needs cohesion & leadership An empowered group of ministers (EGoM) meeting at regular intervals to jointly monitor the spread of Naxalism, is a sound idea which must be promptly put to work. For far too long, states have insisted on dealing with this security challenge in ways that do not add up to a consistent strategy.That law and order is a state subject is glibly invoked as excuse to shirk the rigours of an integrated approach to an all-India problem. So Manmohan Singh's meeting with chief ministers on Tuesday was a significant moment. As the state flails about for a response to the security and terror threat, lurching from a self-induced policy paralysis to a heavy-handed community-based profiling, it provided an occasion for the nation to hear its prime minister speak on a shared spectre. Such occasions must become more frequent. Especially because the UPA has laid itself open to charges of fuzziness in its response to the national security threat. It was under the UPA that the government tried to talk to Naxalites even though they brandished arms at the talks table. The ULFA has been conceded its unreformed intransigence on 'sovereignty'. At other times the government has sounded eager to pander to vote bank politics, at the risk of seeming unconvincing in its resolve to deal with terror. Manmohan Singh struck all the right notes on Tuesday as he emphasised the need to firm up intelligence gathering while remaining sensitive to the special fears of minorities. True, we need to draft both the beat-constable into the anti-terror strategy as well as ensure that the people become "counter-terrorist wardens''. When mistakes are made by the state, there must be instant remedy. But most crucial of all is consistent political leadership. It was of course right and proper that the home minister, the nodal minister in this case, was asked to head the EGoM. But it is equally right and proper to ask why is it that the national security advisor appears so much more engaged and active on internal security than his ministerial counterparts. ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
[Assam] Aami Asomiya
Colours of Assamese on film - Aami Asomiya director promises film will equal hype A STAFF REPORTER Rabi Sarma and Anjoor Lata in a still from Aami Asomiya Guwahati, Sept. 6: Ace filmmaker Rajiv Bhattacharyahas put his money where his heart is. Aami Asomiya (We,the Assamese), his new film, is an in-your-face commentary on the community he hails from and a feel-good saga at thesame time. The title and the pre-release publicity have already made people take notice, and Bhattacharya promises that Aami Asomiya will turn out to be worth every bit of the hype when it hits cinema screens this Friday. Its an attempt to dispel some myths about the community, the director, whose previous film Seuji Dhoroni Dhuniya was a major success, said today. Aami Asomiya has an ensemble cast, a hotshot music composer in Zubeen Garg and some of the best technicians of the industry, including art director Phatik Baruah. But the USP of the film is undoubtedly its theme and the use of the colours of the gamocha in every frame. All the characters will be seen either in red or white or white-red, like in the gamocha. The gamocha is an integral part of our lives and the film, too, deals with Assamese society and its problems. I have used white and red throughout the film to give it a totally Assamese look and character, Bhattacharya said. On whether the film was a serious one, the director said: It is the kind of film that will make people proud to call themselves Assamese. It is about our inherent strengths. Aami Asomiya also dealswith the problem of unemployment in a realistic mannerand provides a solution in a subtle way. The film also has another first in Assamese cinema, an item number. Shot in a bar, the sequence shows newcomer Nitu matching steps with choreographer Ashim Baishya.Rabi Sarma, Anjoor Lata, Saurab Hazarika, Rimpi Das, Jayanta Bhagawati, Chetana Das and Hiranya Deka play major roles in the film.Todays audience is exposed to glitzy big-budget movies from Mumbai and the West. They expect us to do something on the lines of Hollywood and Bollywood films. I have just incorporated a few new things in my film. The pre-release publicity campaign has certainly been a novel one. The producers have even organised processions in the towns with gayan-bayan artistes. Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo!
