RE:Ignorance about the North east states

Militancy in the NE region is no so complicated to understand Mr. Goswami. The Assamese people want independence from India and support the terrorists. The support for the militants is both overt & covert. Hence we see and hear so called 'human rights' activists who protest when terrorists are killed.

The Assamese people wanted the Bengalis out of Assam and targetted the linguistic minority community over the last 60 years. Some members of the Bengali community were brutally killed, but the killers got away scot free. Killing of a prominent scientist of Oil India Limited is one such example. Killing of Hindi-speaking people still continue in Assam and we do not see any protest from the Assamese, who provide covert support to such activities.

The Assamese people should think like Indians first and then crib about 'alienation'.
