i really feel that the issue here is not about issuance of inner line permits.the rest of india really needs to learn more about the northeast as it is a beautiful place more importantly with beautiful people. there has to be an effort from the government to encourage more nagas to get employed and visit the rest of india. if the govt. continues its apathetic attitude, it should not be a surprise if tommorow bangaladeshi insurgents wield more authority than the locals or the central govt.
In 1873 when the Inner Line Permit was introduced in Naga hills it was a dangerous place for outsiders including Nagas themselves. Naga tribes were very hostile to outsiders including Nagas of other tribes. Head hunting was a practice where the tribes would hunt the outsiders entering their territories and hang their victims cut heads outside their houses to show their acts of bravery. The Inner Line Permit kept record of who entered Naga Hills and where they went and when they returned to ensure that they are not killed by head hunters thinking them to be intruders in their Naga territories. But today 60 years after Independence Nagas have become peaceful people and live harmoniously with each others tribes. The Inner Line Permit is today continuing so that the illegal entry of Non-Indians could be stopped from entering Nagaland and other hill states of North East on Indian International border.
It is very much pleasing to read your article "Delhi fiddles..the NE burns".I like to thank U that some one is concerned about NE india from the mainstream. We are loosing so many precious lives in day to day terrorist activities but the mainstream India (Delhi) never minds!But I would like to ask you one important QUESTION that how many number of ULFA, NSCN,BORO(BLT),DIMASA(DHG),ATTF millitants who are actively engaged in such type of destructive activities and insugency are MUSLIMS? I have the answer, I gauranty, you will not find a single head. I doubt the credibility of intelegence report you cited regarding any Muslim outfits in NE. Why they are so busy with these hypothetical proposisitions? Why they are unable to check on these above mentioned non-muslim terrorist outfits active for last two decades? The multi ethinicity in the population of NE is a major problem as they have their regular infights e.g. NAGA, KUKI, RIYANG, MIJO,KARBI, DIMASA, BODO, MANIPURI(Maitei), MANIPUR(Bishnupriaya). I still remember the last years ethnic riots of Karbi Anglong hill district where hundreds of Karbis and Dimasas were died in the clashhes between the two groups. The major muslim migration to the upper part of Assam from east bengal occured before the year 1946 due to political as well as economic reasons. The statistics shown by you is not authentic. Muslims in NE are particularly peaceful and I promise to the constitution (not U)that we are not against the Integrety of India. M

I support your statement that 'Muslims in NE are particularly peaceful and I promise to the constitution (not U)that we are not against the Integrity of India' However, the question is of infiltration of Bangladeshis Muslims or lets say Bangladeshis.I dont understand why you have to jump to the defence of Muslims of the NE because we are not tallking about them.We are talking of the infiltrators. Its unfortunate that Assamese Muslims take umbrage whenever the question of infiltration comes up bcoz somehow they think that they are being targeted. And how many Assamese Muslims speak out against the Bngladeshis. The bitter truth is that Assamese Muslims seem to feel more comfortable with the Bangladeshis due to religion.The problem of infiltration will not be solved as genuine Indian Muslim Citizens allow themselves to be used as shields for the infiltrators. Any efforts to oust the infiltrators are shouted down as non secular and against the Assamese Muslim Community.
Could we stop corruption right from the top to bottom govt heirarchy. could we think about the people at last sitting in the bench needs water to drink. NoNoNo, many few true indians think about that to do so, every 1 is greedy of money, lure , business & fillingg up their bank a/c. why dont every 1 of us atlest do a good thing for a nation which our teacher had thaught us in our school time. every institute taught every student about their field that require true leadership quality. but this is used for their self purpose. why dont media work for NE despite long issue of politician dialouges ,N-Deal, & so on....Nation is diving by shrinking all side, why dont we took care of this. today this insurgent / terrorist startegies are moving ahead with their strategies,,,& we simply walking around fish market, were crowd happens. ministers should know about their job functions ABC to tackle the problem. Indian Armed forces are still unique org which truly fight for nation soverginity but who cares. we have to adopt the terrorist strategies to counter attack them to oust from the nation. whole india should realised about NE as our brotherhood state not recognised as as naxalite area. we youngsters should work sincerly for the nation in our job area to move ahead, strict laws to be made who vilotaes the rules / constitutuoonal law.high minister should b punished if they had violate laws. CBI / investigation agencies should slove the cases in min. time.
On the way of my travel, I have passed by a huge water tank. I was curiously enjoying my co-travellers' discussion about it. It was situated as a symbol of corruption. Some engineers under the rule of above 100-year old political party made it. At the inauguration of the water tank, it started to work as a fountain. Nobody tried to fill it again, because the safety of the people who residing nearby.
I have been thought a lot about it like:
* If a thing is made by futile, we have no usage. * If we think to use it, it will be a challenge. * If we think to damage it, it is a liability. * The best thing is to allow it to stand aright.
My dear MR Tarun Vijay. The congress foreign policy in our neighbouring countries was bizare and created enough pain and trouble in those countries in the last 60 years. We better correct it and do some sole seraching before it haunts the generation to come in the next 60 years. India libereated Bangladesh from the evil clitches of pakistan and avoided a genocide and actually did a favour to the poor pople there. Now are you sugesting that this gives us the rights to do one ourself to the poor who have fled that country from poverty and hunger. What do you sugest. If your views get more forum then we will be encircled with all our poor neighbours as enemies. Please do some soul searching and introspection. Try more on building relationships and frieds. This will bring us more stability and peace.

1)Created the KASMIR scene by opressing the will of the people of the land and denying them self determination rights. 2) India created the TIBET problem, by interfering with the internal affairs of CHINA. Had a war with the CHINA and was overwelmed by them completely. 3) Toke over SIKKIM by treachery. 4) Created the Tibetian refugee problem and then now back stabed the Dalaim lama by saying that Tibet is an Inegral part of China recently. What are these people suppose to do. Where to go now. Settle permamntly in India. Every one is quite about that. 5)Created the another refugee problem again, this time in East pakistan and interfered in the internal affairs of another sovern country. Now raiseing an hue and cry when a few Bangaldesis enter India. Andther back stabing 6) Send IFPK force to Srilanka, ititially promising the the Sinhalese and the Tamilians of bringing peace and then finally had to leave with their taild behind legs. Back stabing the Tamilians there again.

All our neighbours are watching the Treachary. Dont take their silenece that they are sleeping. If people like Tarun Vijay are given forum in this country then the day is not far when all our neighbours (CHINA, TIBET, SRILANKA, PAK, BANGLADESH, NEPAL, BHUTAN, AFGANI etc) join hand and through us into the Indian Ocean. My dear friends believe in peace and brother hood and the teachings of Gandhi. Otherwise the final dooms day will come sonaer than later. Mr Tarun Vijay, look into ur back yard first befor saying to others. I am also a patriot but see the glass as half empty not like you as half filled.

Brozen - Not sure of your understanding of History and partition of India. You would do well by studying Indian history written both by Indian writers as well by foreigners. Request you to pay attention whenever you attempt to discuss something as serious as this (it is not Abhi Ash marriage). Request you to go and read what happened in Tibet from US State archives (I am not asking you to read anything written by Indian intellectuals); go and read what happened in 1971 (again read from UK public domain availalable materials) ; migration of Bangladesh (a couple of people!) - not sure about you grip on arithmetic and neither do not know whether to laugh on your observations arond Tamil issues in Srilanlka being created by GOI ; meddling in China affairs by India (wish we do that) - Your entire posting is a figment of c-grade imagination, lack of study, depth and discipline , devoid of any intellectual pursuit and feels like more of an extremist HMV (his being anyone Anti Indian) - hate to say this but truly shame on you. Of course in India - everyone has the rights to express the opinion as freely as anyone could (which your dear countries Bangaldeshn China, Pakistan unfortunately can not do) but at the same time ; one expects a little bit of extra reading and understanding before airing their wisdom in public domain.

You are right , I totally agree with you sudip, Mr Brozen should do some homework before writing any dangerous comments in any forum. "Tell me if I am wrong?"

My dear friend Truth is hard to digest Isnt it? Please air your replies to me with facts not fiction. And by the way I donot want to enter a discussion with you. You have already proved your itellect by airing such lousy lectures. Anyways, my question was actually directed to Tarun Vijay. I want him to reply to me. If he can prove me wrong,I will take back my statements and shake his hands.

7) Not to forgot to mention, what we did in Nepal. We reinsstated a cruel and opressive Monarch there. And when there was so much violence aginst his opression that the Maoists toke over. Millions lost their lives. Thanks God the Nepalese people woke up and got united and outsted him.Enough is enough. Please open your eyes now, before its too late. Lets have a policy that will win the hearts of our neighbours and our poor country man. I know what you are thinking right now. Brand me as Communist Ideologue. Let me tell you one thing, we are Patriots.
Delhi fiddle while north east burns, is a very senitive and informative aricle.Tarun Vijay has explained his view with his own experience.His courageous writting and his fearlessness reporting will appreciated mass readers. we lost our land Taxila,Karachi,Dhaka,and also lost 1.25 lakh sqare kms of land Pakistan and China,Nobody has bothered.We Hindus are more responsible for the callousness of oue Govt.machinary system. Thanking you, Panchanan Agrawalla
Not only North East. The whole of India is burning. And the congress and left continue to play blame games over different issues.
Much resources - energy, time and money are spent debating the nuclear deals. The ordinary man wonders what these morons were doing all these days. Was not a debate necessary in parliament before signing it?
The war games in the bay are what the leftists think the greatest problem India is facing.
All this while the ordinary man on the street fears for his and his dear ones' lives - a terrorist may be lurking around in the crowds, armed with a bomb. Naxals are having the time of their lives. Illegal immigrants are a growing menace.
