Let us examine this bit of wisdom, which seems to have its origins in 
the hallowed editorial chambers of the Sentinel:


	*** First off, regardless of MOTIVES, the killings are horrible
	tragedies, that none of us can or should condone, support,
	promote or abet; directly or indirectly, overtly or tacitly.

	*** If indeed killing of Hindi-speaking laborers/traders/political
	leaders ( they are NOT all laborers, if newspaper reports are to be
	believed)  is to create jobs for illegal B'deshi immigrants, like these
	'analysts' tell us ; should it not raise a red-flag in the minds
	of Assam's protectors and 'mai-baap' in Delhi?

	*** Has Delhi NOT heard, from the late 1970s , about Assam's discontent
	with unabated B'deshi migration to the state and to the region, which
	actually triggered the ULFA movement, even though it is rooted in
	much more?

	*** If that was not enough, why have Assam's protectors NOT done
  	anything about it, even at this late date, even after brilliant
  	intellects who have finally seen through the ULFA ploy of turning
	Assam over to B'desh, point it out in The Sentinel, The Statesman,
	The Telegraph ,The ToI? Never mind the plaintive outpourings of
	assamnetters and their NRI sympathizers and admirers.

	Is India NOT worried about losing Assam's wealth to the hordes of
	the lungi menace and B'Desh? After-all non-Assamese Indians own
	most of Assam , don't they? Don't India's strategic planners and
  	steel-trap minded military generals see this huge risk to India's
  	'national security'?

	Are they blind, are they stupid, are they THAT inept? Are they SOOO
	impotent? Are they sooo clueless that they cannot connect these
	NOT-subtle dots, but glaring beacons?

Well? What gives?

Perhaps they indeed are blind, stupid, inept ,clueless and abjectly 
impotent to do anything about it. Heavens know we see  daily examples 
of that all over the sub-continent, don't we? It is entirely possible 
that these morons who supposedly govern India and 'protect' ( 
heh-heh!) Assam are worse than Keystone Cops.

	*** If so, WHY can't our brilliant netters see thru that when they wail
	on the internet like a bunch of cry-babies or go about parroting
  	simple-minded anal-yses by a clueless and careless media ? What is
	their excuse? Are they too clones of their nincompoop keepers and
  	saviors?

The truth, unfortunately, is a whole lot more complicated.

BUT, even if it were not; EVEN if  parroting of these simple-minded 
anal-yses really are what it is all about; would it not make sense 
for those who are dismayed by these developments to RAISE their 
voices to end the carnage? Carnage not merely of Hindi speakers, but 
of ULFA who are Oxomiya youth - our own; of Indian soldiers ( they 
too are human, aren't they?) and innocent bystanders -- regardless of 
the labels we place so conveniently to rob them of their humanity?

I like to think, that all these fine people whose outrage erupts only 
when such bloodshed makes the headlines, are not asleep the rest of 
the time.

So WHY do they AID and ABET this quarter century old carnage, albeit 
indirectly, by remaining silent or in fact opposing a negotiated 
political settlement between the Indian Govt. and ULFA ? Why don't 
they urge their keepers and saviors to end it, once and for all?

I hope our friends will take a moment to reflect on that. I like to 
think they are more than able to.
