A LOOK AT GROUND REALITY----
The All Assam Bodo Students Union (ABSU) President Prabin Boro has launched the sending of 4 lakh letters to the prime minster of India for a Bodoland in north bank of Brahmaputra which will spread from Sonkosh to Sadiya. I would like to ask Mr. Boro what about the Mising, Deuri, Tai-Phake and other native communities of the north bank. If Bodoland is their birthright, what about ours?
ABSU talks about Article 2,3 and 4 of the Indian Constitution for creating Bodoland. When 784 dams will be built all over Arunachal Pradesh, no article, be it 2, 3 or 1000, will be able to save the north bank of the Brahmaputra. Why doesn't the Bodo student leaders speak out agianst the release of water from the Kusheri in Bhutan which floods lower Assam? The ABSU can definitely send 10 lakh letters to thje government of Bhutan, that of Arunachal Pradesh and PM of India to stop dam activities. What is the use of any kind of ethnic land when all our proposed 'lands' are going to be gulped down by man-made flash-floods released from dams.
