I have a friend from Meghalaya whose parents were evicted from Bangladesh during partition.They are settled in Meghalaya.Now certain unions of local population are threatening settlers to vacate their state or else pay the protection tax.He now discusses with me Bangladesh evicted us as we are Hindus.We came and settled in India thinking that we landed in our safe heaven.Now this heaven also wants us to leave.Where should we go?.In most of the North eastern states we occasionally come across the slogans like Indian dogs go back.Is there any state by name India.The political fortune seekers should not resort to such divisive tactics which will fragment our mother nation.Kindly save our mother land from narrow thinking politicians whose main aim is power for which they do not mind to torment pople.

Mister or Miss, dont bullshit I have been staying in the North East for many years & last 5 years in Meghalaya I have not seen a single slogan which says 'Indian dogs go back'.Tell me where you are staying so that I can prove to rediff users that you are bullshitting.There is regionalism everywhere in India. Kannadigas want non Kannadigas out of Blore,Delhites call Northeasterners Chinkie, Maharastrians want North Indians outs...but these are psychotic fringe elements....so dont paint everyone in that color. Sikhs were killed in Delhi etc etc

Thanks Mr Bhasker Barua.Please read my letter care fully I said occasionally.This type of writing I have seen in Assam during my visit.You are perfectly right in saying that regionalism is every where but not to the extent of like Killing Biharis in Assam and beating North Indian Hawkers in Maharashtra
