[Assam] ISI Spreads a Net in Northeast India : Nava Thakuria
ISI Spreads a Net in Northeast India Nava Thakuria Sentinel Assam The land of armed movements sustained by the anti-New Delhi separatists´ militias has woken up to a new threat from religious fundamentalists fuelled by Pakistan´s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to make Northeastern India a volatile region in the continent. The Northeastern region is no stranger to banned armed groups and their destructive activities, but the recent development where it has emerged that the Pakistani agency has engaged scores of its operatives in the region and also sponsored a number of indigenous armed groups has come as a shocking revelation. But unfortunately for the people of Northeast, a most influential armed group of Assam has reportedly maintained close links with ISI. The local media quoting different government and non-government sources claimed that the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is in touch with Islamic terrorists too. Launched in 1979 with the aim to make Assam an independent country, the banned armed group is blamed for numerous killings, explosions, kidnappings and a huge number of extortion cases. But what is appalling for the people of the region is that not less than 20 native militia groups have come closer to ISI. It was disclosed during the interrogation of an ISI operative, who was arrested by the Assam police in Guwahati on December 14. More shocking revelation for the entire nation is that the alliance has slowly pushed the insurgents groups into the clutches of Islamic militants. The Assam police termed it a big catch in its counter-terrorism operations in the Northeast. The arrested ISI operative was identified as S.M. Alam alias Mujibullah Alam alias Asfi Alam. Hailing from Ajampur village under Uttara police station in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Alam (35) has been recognised as an important functionary of the ISI incharge of Assam and the Northeast. The police said that Alam was a member of Jamat-e-Islami and Chatra Shibir of Bangladesh and joined the Pakistan-based Harkat-ul-Mujahideen in 1993. The hardcore Bangladeshi national underwent training in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) also. Later, he joined Jamat-ul-Mujahideen in 2005 and afterward he was recruited by the ISI. Soon he shifted his base to the restive Northeast in 2006. What, however was alarming was Alam confessed that 24 militant outfits in the region had maintained communication with the ISI network. Headquartered at Islamabad, the ISI is known as a disciplined army unit with around 10,000 staff members. It however faces allegations of meddling in the internal affairs of its neighbouring countries. The Indian police have time to time claimed that ISI was involved in many explosions in the country. The Mumbai police asserted that it had enough proof of ISI involvement in the July 2006 blast in a local train. The ISI is also blamed for masterminding explosions in many other cities of the country including Hyderabad, Lucknow, Sri Nagar, Malegaon, Varanasi, Guwahati and Imphal among others. This reporter tried to contact the officers of the Inter Services Public Relations, Pakistan Armed Forces, of which ISI is an unit, for their reactions regarding the arrest of Alam in Assam. While responding to the phone calls, an additional director (incharge of foreign media) of Inter Services Public Relations only said that the arrest of the ISI operative was not in his knowledge. He assured of his inputs later, though it has not reached till date. Moreover, a query submitted in the website of ISPR also did not result in any response. What is significant is that, the officials of ISPR, while responding to the phone calls, did not summarily reject the news that one of their operatives had been arrested in India. Dr M. Amarjeet Singh, a research scholar at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi, wrote in one of his articles, Apart from aiding and abetting terrorism in Kashmir, ISI has also been fully engaged in building terror infrastructures in the rest of India, including the Northeast, which has long been infested with multiple insurgencies. This attempt to fish in troubled waters of the Northeast poses a formidable risk to India´s security. The Indian security agencies have already gathered evidence to establish that the ISI had been sponsoring violence in many parts of the country. The ISI takes responsibility of supplying sophisticated arms and also guerrilla training to several militant groups based in the Northeast. Brig. (retired) Dr S.P. Sinha, who served Northeast for many decades, claimed that the ISI had now formed a new base in Bangladesh to carry on anti-India operations. In his recent book titled Lost Opportunities: 50 years of Insurgency in the Northeast and India´s Response, Dr Sinha, who led the Gorkha Rifles, also narrated that Pakistan had shifted nearly 200 terrorist training camps from the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to Bangladesh.
[Assam] Dispute over Arunachal
Dispute over Arunachal After the successful visit of the Prime Minister of India to Arunachal Pradesh after a gap of about 12 years and the statement by Dr Manmohan Singh that Arunachal Pradesh is the land of our rising sun and subsequent announcement of a package of development amounting to about 10,000 crores to make the state one of the best in the country, there was little doubt that the Government of India considered Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India. However, the exercise has not made the Chinese government happy and an informal protest had been lodged by the Chinese Foreign Office at the Indian Mission in Beijing. The Chinese government has not recognised the McMohan Line defining the Indian and Chinese territory in 1913 at a meeting in Shimla. In a show of strength, China overran Arunachal, known as NEFA at that time, in the year 1962. After its unilateral withdrawal, the Indian administration has penetrated right upto the international boundary known as Line of Actual Control stretching 1,030 km of unfenced border with China. As pointed out by the Minister of External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee, Arunachal has elected representatives in Parliament and the Indian Prime Minister has the right to visit any part of the country. The Chinese treat Arunachal as disputed area and considered a visit by the Prime Minister to a disputed area inappropriate. While such war of words would continue till border disputes between the two countries were amicably resolved, more serious was the reported incursion by the Chinese up to 20 km inside Arunachal Pradesh as claimed by the BJP MP from Arunachal, Khiren Rijju.The Ministry of Defence have not admitted any such incursion and dismissed the matter as due to difference in perception between the Chinese and the Indian forces about the position of the imaginary Line of Actual Control. Dr Manmohan Singhs recent visit to China and his talk with his Chinese counter part was expected to clear many misgivings between the two sides - projected as the worlds two super powers. Border talks between the two governments failed to make substantial progress over the issue of exchange of populated areas. While the Chinese representative favoured exchange of populated area, the Indian representative could not agree to such a proposal. Whatever may be the outcome of the border talks, Arunachal Pradesh should not be used as a pawn in resolution of the border dispute. Arunachal Pradesh is part of India, and would remain so.

What's Up with All the Slashed Internet Cables?As the pace of repair work picked up on three Internet cables in the Middle East this week, word that more damage has occurred to nearby undersea fiber-optic lines in the last 24 hours arrives. The slew of slashed cables has caused a frenzy of speculation on their causes in the blogosphere. As of today, Egyptian officials still had no explanation as to the cause of the damage to the first two lines, slashed a week ago, but they said there was no evidence that ship's anchors caused the breakage. The two new damaged lines being reported are to some of the same systems as were cut recently, namely the FLAG Europe-Asia and SeaMeWe-4 networks. Landline and satellite connections have ameliorated some of the outages in the Middle East and South Asia regions, but it is estimated that some 85 million Internet users have been adversely affected. According to one report, nearly 90 per cent of Internet traffic is routed through undersea cables in these parts of the world. Officials for the cable operators predicted that engineers working on repair ships at sea should be able to restore service in approximately one week for the earlier incidents. FLAG Telecom, operator of two of the damaged cables, told the Associated Press today that it is laying an entirely new fully resilient cable that will be able to withstand harsher treatment in underwater conditions. We are still treating this as a crisis, a FLAG spokesman told the AP. But the new cable will provide a diversity in routes and be more resilient.

Then I walked down in freezing winds (much below frezing point) to the Kennedy Center to check out the daily free show. There was a crowd gathered around some girl dresed in kimono and taking her pictures or talking to her. I remembered that there was a Japan fest going on. I rushed to the main hall but was surprised to see Mario or Nintendo music and videogame on the large screen. The huge crowd ensured that I had to stand far back and watch while standing. In their jocular style but poor English two young guys were compereing and a twelve yearold in micro -mini cheerleading outfit but with long stockings and gloves was singing and dancing - as if a character from Japanese videogames and animation characters . Some 8 bit videogame songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbfCZx1tRUs with these guys dancing like school kids - maybe they were school students - the girl in middle scool and guys in high school. Waht was surprising that in other countries' cultural fests it is mostly traditional music and old foggies. After it was over I went to check out the robot show - and the brochure showed that the main attraction was a woman -- Oh!! she was the kimono model I had seen posing in the main corridor surrounded by photgraphers and admirers. But I was already on the way to top floor -- which was having lots of Manga comics - for ages 13+ and some were for pre-school kids - all in English. you read a Manga comic back to front -- so last page is the first page. Then there was this little cute dog like creature which was about a foot tall - and dancing at instructions of a white American attendant. She petted it and it made whining sounds. When all others left I petted it for about 5 minutes it it really did feel that it my own pet dog - same sound, seem cuddling close when petting or scratching its nose etc. wagging is silicon tale. No ears though . Available for the cost of a TATA car ($2500 or Rs 1 lac) though. Then there was this seal pup - all furry and wags its tail and nuzzles up to old people and patients in hospitals. Another guy who looked like a ET -space alien character - was really playing the trumpet - really blowing the pipe and pressing the keys while swinging the pro player. It made me realize that Japanese culture though ancient has kept with the times and become electronic. This was real Japanese culture - modern culture - which kids of all races liked. any comments?

Re: [Assam] [aana] Save the Endangered Rhino : JP Rajkhowa
As per statistics, as reported in the media, poachers have killed 672 rhinos since 1965 till February 8, 2007 - the average killing being 16 rhinos annually. That is16 Rhinos being killed annually sine 1965. Looks like the Forest department has been doing good business. One Rhino Horn @ 35 lakhs times 16 = Rs.560,000 lakhs annually for the last 45 years without any complaint from the people of Assam. Wondering why the people of Assam are suddenly so much against the illegal poaching of Rhinos? Simply because the number has gone up to 20 now? Hobo Diok!!! Barua - Original Message - From: Pradip Kumar Datta To: Assam Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 6:51 AM Subject: [aana] Save the Endangered Rhino : JP Rajkhowa Save the Endangered Rhino JP Rajkhowa Kaziranga National Park (KNP) is globally known as the home of the one-horned rhinoceros, though it also shelters and attracts a wide variety of exotic birds from all over the world, apart from being the habitat of the wild buffalo, the great Indian swamp deer and other varieties of wildlife forms. KNP is equally famous for medicinal plants, herbs and other exotic flora. But it has earned the status of a national park because of the one-horned rhino, and it is primarily the rhino which attracts visitors. Other than Nepal, which has about 200 one-horned rhinos, KNP is the only major natural habitat of this rare mammal. In consideration of its uniqueness to Asom, the rhino has been declared as the State symbol just like the peacock has been declared the national symbol. It is, therefore, natural that everyone in Asom should take pride in the rhino. The encyclopedic information on rhinoceros is reproduced here for general information. The once-numerous rhinoceros family, Rhinocerotidae, in the order Perissodactyla, now contains only five living species. All are threatened with extinction, some imminently. The three species of Asiatic rhinos include the Indian rhino, Rhinoceros unicornis; the nearly extinct Javan rhino, R. sondacius; and the Sumatran rhino, Dicerohinus sumatrensis. The two species of African rhinos are the black rhino, Diceros bicornis, and the white rhino, Ceratotherium simum. The Indian and Javan rhinos are one-horned; the other three species are two-horned. The rhino's horn is composed of keratin, as is the cow's horn, but unlike the cow's horn it is of a fused, fibrous construction and solid throughout, with no hollow for a core of bone. The fibres represent greatly modified hairs. The horn is attached to the skin and is supported by a raised, roughened area on the skull. Because many Asians, particularly the Chinese, believe that the rhino horn has aphrodisiac properties, the horns are widely sought after, and this demand accounts for much of the illegal killing of rhinos. The Indian rhino, native to northeastern India, is now found only in a few protected areas. The Javan rhino, once distributed across southeastern Asia into the East Indies, today survives only in a small preserve on the island of Java. The Sumatran rhino is now confined to a few widely scattered areas in southeastern Asia and in the East Indies (Grolier Encyclopedia of Knowledge, Vol. 16). It is obvious that due to human greed, the one-horned rhino population in its original abode is becoming extinct and the trend, if not halted, would lead to its total extinction, meeting the fate of the much-researched dinosaurs. Unfortunately, rhino horns or small pieces thereof are reportedly in demand not only in China, but in our country too, for which members of some innocuous religious cults as well as some members of the astrological fraternity and the so-called country physicians are also responsible. As per a recent media report, a rhino horn fetches between Rs 4 to 7 lakh in the Indian underground market, and between Rs 12 to 20 lakh in the international market. For such high prices, unscrupulous poachers, who are always after a quick buck, will not mind facing personal risk and going for illegal rhino hunt. The poaching for rhino horns is not anything new; it has been going on in Asom for decades together, especially after the rhino was declared an extinct variety of wild animals under the Wildlife Protection and Preservation Act. Though every killing by poachers was invariably condemned by wildlife lovers and the public in general, so far it was not taken as an outrage against Asom, as has happened in recent days. The killing of a female rhino at the KNP by a gang of poachers, allegedly in connivance with Forest Department officials, on January 19 by first injuring it critically with a bullet and then cutting the horn when the rhino was still alive and bleeding profusely, and thereafter the killing of her baby as well in the most gruesome manner, has shaken the world community and hurt every resident of Asom.

Re: [Assam] Crippled!-did you know?
How about a conspiration theory? A American software engineer terribly upset over outsorcing to India hired a Navy-Seal to go down the ocean and got the cables cut. == - Original Message From: mc mahant [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: assam@assamnet.org assam@assamnet.org Sent: Thursday, February 7, 2008 9:56:33 PM Subject: [Assam] Crippled!-did you know? What's Up with All the Slashed Internet Cables? As the pace of repair work picked up on three Internet cables in the Middle East this week, word that more damage has occurred to nearby undersea fiber-optic lines in the last 24 hours arrives. The slew of slashed cables has caused a frenzy of speculation on their causes in the blogosphere. As of today, Egyptian officials still had no explanation as to the cause of the damage to the first two lines, slashed a week ago, but they said there was no evidence that ship's anchors caused the breakage. The two new damaged lines being reported are to some of the same systems as were cut recently, namely the FLAG Europe-Asia and SeaMeWe-4 networks. Landline and satellite connections have ameliorated some of the outages in the Middle East and South Asia regions, but it is estimated that some 85 million Internet users have been adversely affected. According to one report, nearly 90 per cent of Internet traffic is routed through undersea cables in these parts of the world. Officials for the cable operators predicted that engineers working on repair ships at sea should be able to restore service in approximately one week for the earlier incidents. FLAG Telecom, operator of two of the damaged cables, told the Associated Press today that it is laying an entirely new fully resilient cable that will be able to withstand harsher treatment in underwater conditions. We are still treating this as a crisis, a FLAG spokesman told the AP. But the new cable will provide a diversity in routes and be more resilient.

[Assam] Wake up call against Army acricities in NE
This is real bad - acting like thieves (or like police in many remote places) *** But its routine like a daily affair in the other places- which are treated like Jaffna in SL. Life is more miserable and acrocities are much high. They snatched bicycles from poor villagers who come with new bicycle for market and ask them go by walk.Later they might return the cycle in a bad condition or take alongwith them Same for the bikes, they take only new bikes.Jeep-Maruti van are countless. I had heard of people bringing teak logs from Asam in army trucks to make furniture in their North Indians homes - but this is totally outrageous. Umesh Friends, Finally we need to wake up against 2 centuries old Army acricities began by the British Army in the North East and very much in Assam.Although we got independance, the brutality at any un explained reason continues and since operation Bajrang in Dec 1990 , its more now.As the world heads for hi technology and discoveries,the b rutality part is being ignored by all sections- from Politician, beaurocrats to the educated one. The reason are still un known why Army is behaving in the North East like that. If something hapen only in GHY- people cries foul.But its routine like a daily affair in the other places- which are treated like Jaffna in SL. Life is more miserable and acrocities are much high. They snatched bicycles from poor villagers who come with new bicycle for market and ask them go by walk.Later they might return the cycle in a bad condition or take alongwith them Same for the bikes, they take only new bikes.Jeep-Maruti van are countless. Why only it hapens in Assam?Who gives this order?Why legal experts are sleeping in Assam?Why law- honourable GHY high court cant do anything?Who tied the hands of all?ARmed Forces Special Powers Act doesnot give so much liberty. Bihar-AP-UP-Chatishgarh and now KArnataka is worst then Assam.But even what ever CRPF is deployed, they do work under local police.Army deployment is out of question. Otehr than in NEI, at any place Army people are facing thousands of cases and being convicted.But in Assam- the dadagiri remains same as before 1947.It is their will to do anything. Now time come to say stop and enough. Cannt we all write individually to Chief of Army staff at Sena Bhavan, New Delhi 110011? I request all to spend 25 Rs. to send complaints to the chief and Defence Minister by speed post, so to take note for RTI act later. The legal experts of Assam should gain good knowledge like other states to come heavily now. Note also be taken in view of China's tensions. Army only can never talk about KArgil in NEI.They should also talk on lost China war...KArgil is elsewhere, we need to talk on our border.Now we have more educated people, I sincerely request all to write. Army website www.indianarmy.nic.in might not give frutiful result.Kindly write individually to Defence Minister and Chief of Army staf.If for the happiness of Kashmiri people- who has mere contribution to the main land other than causing problem since centuries,where Govt provide much free facilities,Govt can bow down taking action against Army and paramilitary forces, surely NEI got 7 large state to contribute much for the main land. But treated too ill.NEI is not that deadly being with China Burma border.Than what is the reason hiding since hundred years? Kindly do write. Defence Minister Mr.AK Anthony is got office in the M block, New Delhi.
