Automonous council will certainly fulfil some aspirations of the Mech Kachari community.But a political system should not be the ultimate goal of an ethnic community. Because only financial grant from govt cannot help survive a community. we should not confine our hopes and aspirations to a particular system. Our aim should be far beyond a system where we can live with dignity and prosperity and without fear of losing identity.
