Wanted something to shoot from my hips. the title has to be justified. no point in saying the obvious and going along with the others. people are conditioned to say the right thing. it is considered to be in the interest of everyone. now, how can repeating what one wants to hear be in the interest of the society. everyone is busy skirting the issue in the hope that time will heal and set things right.
Assam is burning and burning again. the trigger may be different each time but the issue is the same. politicians will not do anything to solve the crisis as it can be used again and again to whip-up communal/ethnic frenzy. vote-bank politics is seen as the sure-fire way of staying in power. a few hundred lives lost, a few thousand people displaced is well worth the sacrifice to hang on to power.
Solutions are not easy. but they like justice has to be obtained. for how long will we keep referring to them as people from North-East. like the rest of us they are also Indians and we need to make them feel they are in the same motherland.
