Befitting reply to boycott call, scribes celebrate Republic Day
Guwahati, January 26: Journalists and other patriotic citizens gathered in the 
Guwahati Press Club premises on Thursday to celebrate the Republic Day in what 
can be called yet another befitting reply to the boycott-mongering militants.
    Hoisting the National Tricolour, senior journalist Hiten Mahanta said it is 
the courage and determination of the people that has again and again foiled 
secessionist attempts to arm-twist the patriots not to celebrate the 
Independence and Republic Days. Because, at the end of the day, it is the 
people upon whose support insurgency survives. Without people’s support 
insurgency withers away. So, Army and other security operations are only one 
side of the story, Mahanta pointed out and added that insurgency is a failure 
because there was no taker among the people to the call for an independent 
Assam. Even the handful of journalists, who at one time sided with the 
militants, have now changed their tone in sync with the changed situation.     
     Earlier, senior journalist Rupam Baruah explained the significance of the 
Day and underscored the need to remember the martyrs who died in those days to 
make sure the fellow countrymen could live. Baruah also deplored the move by 
some circles to portray Jana Gana Mana, the National Anthem, as a composition 
by Rabindra Nath Tagore to eulogize George the Fifth. It was a great patriotic 
song dedicated to the people of India, he asserted.
   Later, a procession was taken out, where the participants raised slogans 
upholding the concept of the Indian nationhood and condemning all moves to 
denounce it. Those who attended programme included Nava Thakuria, Ranen Kumar 
Goswami, Mukul Kalita, Sabita Lahkar, Dhiren Baruah, Jagadindra Ray Choudhury, 
Soumyadeep Dutta and Kishor Giri.

Dear All,
?
Elections are round the corner in Assam. Having spent most of my life outside 
Assam, I would be voting in Guwahati after a long time. I thought of penning 
down a few things on the elections?which may interest many of you outside.
?
1) You can?t open the news channels. Speaker after speaker is making promises. 
How I wish that even if they do half of it, a lot would be achieved.
?
2) You can?t travel. I made the mistake of visiting Arunachal for some work. 
The 
highway was blocked by rallies. On top of that there was a call for Bandh in 
Sonitpur? District by the Adivasis and they were sitting with poisoned arrows 
on 
the highway. A car of one marriage party was set ablaze. I had to wait till 5 
pm 
in the evening to move with an escort. The next day there was again a call for 
a 
Bandh in entire Sonitpur District and believe it or not, the call was given by 
an aspirant of the Congress party who failed to get the nomination in his 
constituency. One man holding an entire district to ransom for not getting a 
nomination. Is there a law against this or this is possible in a democracy, I 
do 
not know. 


3) Congress Office, Rajib Bhawan in shambles. First a bomb blast and then its 
own workers tearing it apart. Workers in the sense, ticket seekers who did not 
get their nominations and their supporters.

4) Himanta Biswa Sarma seems to be the star campaigner for Congress. He is 
everywhere. 


5) Prafulla K Mahanta contesting from two seats. AGP?asking for votes in the 
name of everything but infiltration, the very plank on which the party was 
formed?and so many youths died and became martyrs. 


6) Sarbananda Sonowal, star campaigner for BJP. Intentions seem genuine, but 
not 
sure what impact he would have outside Upper Assam Districts. Infighting is in 
full force in BJP like the other parties and yes their Guwahati office was also 
vandalized as well and of course by their own party workers.

7) Population of Ghy city has already gone down. Yes true. Businesses are 
suffering as the labour force comprising mostly of migrants has gone back to 
the 
villages to vote. Not sure why they have gone early. Maybe for freebies being 
distributed.

8) Good MLAs need to come in.Thats what all parties say.?The problem is where 
are they.Leaving aside a few, most of them are in politics for making money and 
not for any social cause. And I have not heard or seen any person being 
nominated who does not have a sizeable net assets list. For some MLAs, assets 
have grown by 3-4 croses in the last year.And that too in the publicly declared 
figures. The real nos may be very different.?So much for democracy.

Voting possible from outside. Do vote. Assam needs good people to vote and vote 
for genuine people. I know that it is easier said than done. I myself do not 
know whom to vote for in my constituency. There?s not much to choose....

Assam poll and ethnic 
fragmentation

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Ranen Kumar Goswami

? 

?? Assam is approaching yet another Assembly 
election.
The fractured verdict in last Assembly polls and wafer-thin majority the
parties had got in the previous ones are a warning against making any 
sweeping
forecast about the outcome this time around. Electorate behaviour wise,
pre-1985 Assam and post-1985 Assam are not the same. The Assam movement 
that
had started in 1979 ended in 1985 with the signing of the Assam Accord,
polarised Assam's society along ethnic and religious lines. It was quite
natural that the voter verdict would also reflect that. The 
polarisation,
visible in all elections since then, reached a high point in 2006. 

??? But before
going into that, let us pay a glance at voter participation. Here too, 
1985 was
a landmark. Voter turnout, since then has remained among the highest in 
the
country. Assam's electorate has arguably shown more mature political 
response
to the democratic process than many of the more populous, and perhaps, 
more
politically volatile States. In 1985, of the 98,82,684 voters,? 78,27,860 
exercised their franchise, the
turnout percentage being 79.21. In 1991, the number of voters was 
1,18,92,170
of whom 88,79,984 cast their ballots, the percentage of polling being 
74.67. In
1996, of the 1,21,19,125 voters 95,64,434 exercised their franchise and 
the
percentage of polling was?? 78.92. In
2001, the polling percentage was 74.63 as 1,08,35,651 of the total 
1,44,39,167
voters turned up at the polling booths. In 2006, the number of voters 
was
1,74,34,019; of them 75.77 percent cast their ballots. This enthusiastic
participation in the electoral process tells a very is significant tale.
This
gives a lie to the claim of those worshipers of the gun who say the 
people of
Assam have lost faith in Indian democracy. 

????? The Assam
movement leaders formed the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) at? a
convention at Golaghat on October 14, 1985.
The polarisation in Assam's society began to show. In 1985 polls, the 
wave the
AGP piggybacked on handed it a vote share of 34.84 per cent and 63 
seats, one
short of absolute majority. The party had to secure the support of three
independents and welcome them into the party fold to enter the corridors
of
power. Minority leaders, opposed to the Assam movement, organised 
themselves in
a new party called the United Minorities Front (UMF). It secured 10.85 
per cent
votes and 17 seats. Emergence of the UMF was a clear signal that those 
who
opposed the anti-alien movement had a strong voice, loud enough to be 
heard in
the Assembly. The CPI-M got 4.48 per cent votes and two seats. 

???? In 1991,
the Congress, under the leadership of Hiteswar Saikia secured 29.93 per 
cent
votes and 66 seats, while the AGP got 17.93 per cent and 19 seats. The 
Natun
Asom Gana Parishad (NAGP), the breakaway faction of the AGP got 5.45 per
cent
and five seats. Emerging as an electoral force to be reckoned with for 
the
first time, the BJP got a vote share of 6.55 per cent and 10 seats. The 
CPI
with a vote share of 2.47 per cent got four seats and the CPI-M with a 
share of
3.85 per cent could lay its hands on two seats. 

???? In 1996, an
AGP-led four-party alliance captured power in the State. The AGP got 
29.70 per
cent of votes and bagged 59 seats. The Congress, with a vote share of 
30.56 per
cent, got 34 seats. AGP's alliance partners CPI secured 1.95 per cent of
votes
and three seats, the CPI-M secured 1.94 per cent votes and two seats and
ASDC
got 1.98 per cent votes and came out winners in five seats. The BJP had a
vote
share of 10.41 per cent and four seats. In 2001 elections, the Congress 
under
the leadership of Tarun Gogoi bounced back to power securing 39.75 per 
cent of
votes and winning 71 seats. Its strength subsequently rose to 78 as 
seven more
legislators including NCP's three joined the party. The AGP had a vote 
share of
20.02 per cent and 20 seats and the BJP with a vote share of 9.35 per 
cent
bagged eight seats.

??? Now, let's
have a closer look at the 2006 election. Here, we rely on a 
comprehensive study
by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) under the 
guidance
of renowned psephologist Yogendra Yadav. According to Yadav, the way 
Assam
voted in this election could be called a story of political and ethnic
fragmentation that had followed the Assam movement. The process reached 
its
logical culmination this time around. The Congress bagged 53 seats with a
vote
share of 31.08 per cent. The AGP tally was 24 seats with a vote share of
20.39
per cent. The Bodoland People's Progressive Front (BPPF-H) got 11 seats 
with a
vote share of 3.72 per cent and the newly-formed Assam United Democratic
Front
(AUDF) bagged 10 seats with a vote share of 9.03 per cent. Yadav says 
that now
the era of coalition politics finally arrived with the Congress falling 
10
seats short of a majority. The party benefited from a divided 
Opposition. The
swing against the ruling party was the weakest in the smallest region, 
the
Barak Valley, where it gained two additional seats despite a drop in 
votes. In
upper Assam, the CSDS says,?the largest region that has been a 
traditional
Congress stronghold, it lost 10 percentage point votes. But the party 
was
sitting on very large margins here, thanks to big wins in 2001 
elections. The
Congress managed to win 30 seats here, a modest loss of eight seats 
compared to
the last (2001) time.? 

???? What
happened at the roots of the society manifested itself in the electoral 
arena
in 2006. Beneath it lay the ethnic fragmentation of the electorate. The
post-poll and the exit poll conducted by the CSDS confirmed the 
impression that
the AGP was the first choice of the Assamese-speaking Hindus, who had? a fear 
lurking in their minds that they might
become a minority in their own State. Among the Bengali-speaking Hindus,
the
CSDS shows, the Congress was nearly matched by the BJP. As many as 36 
per cent
of Assamese-speaking Muslims and 38 per cent of Bengali-speaking Muslims
voted
for the Congress. An overwhelming majority of the Scheduled Tribe vote 
went to
political parties outside the mainstream. In short, each party appeared 
to be
an ethnic party. The AGP and the BJP secured 60 per cent of their 
support? from their core constituencies: Assamese 
and
Bengali-speaking Hindus. The AUDF secured two-thirds of its votes from
Bengali-speaking Muslims. For the BPPF (H), two-thirds of its vote 
reservoir
comprised Bodo ethnic groups. Yet, the CSDS says, the only exception was
the
Congress, which secured? electoral support
from all communities. 

???? It is worth
a recall here that the AUDF was born following the Supreme Court verdict
in
2005 which declared that the Illegal Migrants Act (Determination by 
Tribunals)
ultra vires the Constitution. A leading section of Muslims alleged that 
the
Congress had not done what could have been done to retain the Act. This
discontent crystallised in the form of AUDF. In 1985,? a
similar discontent had given birth to the
UMF. It is difficult to avoid the?
conclusion that the AUDF is the latest version of the UMF giving 
voice
to a feeling? of? insecurity
among the minorities in face of
the continuous demand for detection and deportation of illegal 
foreigners. The
verdict in 2006 clearly reflected this feeling.?
Events as recent as the 2010 Barpeta violence over the NRC pilot 
project
triggered further polarisation of public opinion. We can safely predict 
that
the 2011 verdict will also bring this fragmentation to the fore. 

??? All this
does not mean that Assam's elections are only about ethnicities, though 
from
1985 onwards, it is playing a decisive role. Other issues like 
corruption,
development, intra-party dissidence and factors like anti-incumbency 
also weigh
on the voter's mind. Big dams are another issue that can influence the 
voter's
decision this time in many areas. Militancy, talks and law and order are
other
issues. There are certain to be area-specific issues too. But the big 
question
is: will these issues decisively erase the boundaries of ethnic
fragmentation???
