The growth looks healthy because illegal immigrants from Bangladesh
are claiming to be Assamese now. Let us not live in fools paradise but
rather stop these infightings. There is a broader issue of getting
swamped by aliens in our own homes and therefore we should leave aside
parochial discussions and try to bring about consciousness of the
problem.

Hi,
It's not very far that we will be endangered until we stop fighting among
ourselves, may be among various tribes, may be among Ahom - Kalita-Kosari, may
be Bodo-Assamese, may be Kamrupi-written Assamese, etc.
This is what a news in Assam tribune says:
If you were in doubt whether Assamese-speaking people have increased or
already lost majority in the State. The answer is: Assamese speaking has
registered a growth of 0.40 per cent. Clearing the air to dispel the
apprehension that Assamese people have become minority in their own State,
Centre today clarified that there has been no decline in the Assamese speaking
population in the country during 1991-2001.
