Example, C'da, example!

What if one considers Sanjoy Ghosh as one of those ten thousand plus Oxomiyas?

It reminds of this line from one of Bhupen Hazarika's songs: 

                  "Mur Aaik bhaal pao bulile aanor Aaik  jaanu ghin koratu Bujaabo? (When I say 'l love my mother', would it mean that 'I hate somebody else's mother?)"

Before we pass judgement on the response, we also ought to be able to judge the QUESTION.

What were the questions posed by Utpal designed to ?

To help him and others decide, if what ULFA has been fighting for, Assam's sovereignty,  is a  sound and beneficial  move for Assam? And if they are persuaded by ULFA's response that they are sound,  Utpal and others would SUPPORT it?

Or were they designed to extract an admission from ULFA, that their own notions and beliefs, that it is
patently bad  for Assam, never mind HOW or WHY they have concluded that their notions and beliefs are the truly wise and considered opinions?

Is it therefore REASONABLE  to evaluate INTENT for ULFA before submitting itself to the INQUISITION?

Where is the ORDINARY integrity expected of  the intelligentsia here, if one can misuse the English word under the circumstances? The sincerity of purpose?
It is obvious that those who consider themselves the 'educated' and'wise', unlike ULFA, and  who parade around wearing the garbs of  pillars-of society do not think so and thus the eloquent outpourings  of disappointment, not to mention the offenses to their genteel sensitivities . Not just that, the self-fulfilling prophecies too of the band of braves indulging in the "hola gosot baagi kuthar mora" enterprise, justification why their masters don't talk to them, or should not.

What  is missing from the exercises is a rudimentary  element of AIM of GOALS.  Never mind the need to explore the reasons WHY ten thousand plus Oxomiyas have given their lives. No doubt their lives were nearly not as valuable as one Sanjoy Ghosh's. 

Aimless exercises unfortunately  lead to nowhere.  With such pillars of society looking after its well-being, one hardly needs enemies to tear it down.

It seems that some of us are being branded as part of an "unhappy gang with their so-called education". And they would be 'selective' in answering their questions; which means they would only reply to 'sincere' questions, from 'real questioners' after their 'background check done'. Well, in case they have to do a background check in my case, let me tell you that my life has been an open book and if a background check is requird in my case, it simly shows how much these people are in touch with reality or the ground situations. Incidentally, let me also tell, that there has been enough background checks done about these people, their cohorts, sympathisers, beneficiaries, supporters, hangers one and what not. Lot of people already know who benefits from their actions, who are actually propping them up. For example when they killed Sanjay Ghosh, it did not require much background check to find out why they did so, what was the nexus behind that sordid deal and who would be the real losers if Majuli is genuinely saved in a very cost effective manner. Obviously, they are buying time to prepare some obfuscating response, what we may call "saale bere kobowa"  reply in the name of background checks and what not. Also they have already said that they would ignore "halfwit questions and questioners". How more selective can your comfort zone be... Interestingly, I was reading something today and I came across the follwoing phrase: The truth is that many terrorists are doing very well out of violence. Extortion rackets give them a lifestyle they cannot aspire in times of peace. They have money, excitement and status: what more you seek in life? Mantabya nisproyojan.

  ULFA  invites  genuine  sincere questions  from persons(not gangs)  not happy with their  so-called education ,wanting  to KNOW how to fight and win their great future in sovereign Assam .
 Firstly we will have background checks  done on  real (?) questioners. Please tolerate delays.   ULFA will ignore halfwit questions and questioners who think they already know and  are already bonded mentally or monetarily.
