Dear Lalit,

It is not about Pakistan really.  It is about wrongly placing an urgency to
campaign against separatist elements even before understanding the core
issues related to North East and in this case, Bodoland. It is about how
leaders who contested elections representing the people's aspirations and
then cheated their own people, it is about mass plunder of the resources by
these agents who represent Indian state to their own people and therefore
want more and more security forces for their own protection. It is about the
security bonus that state government gets. FYI  it is that certain portion
of tax payer's money which is being used to rape and maim people in north
east in garb of security. Unfortunately, many of us tend to view our
security scenario vis-a-vis events in Pakistan ignoring the draconian acts
which are forcing people adhere to what you have described as "regressive
forces".

Look at the usage of your words to diagnose this problem. "Regressive
forces" for the separatists while forces which have been cause of plunder in
the north east are rebuked here for adopting "harsh administrative
measures". This is how you condemn such acts. You want to see people hanged,
but your diagnosis reeks of something else altogether. Easy isn't? To make
loud statements like lets hang him, lets maim that guy. Who is a savage here
sir?

Anupam
