Is CM Tarun Gogoi at all concerned ?
The ongoing Garo-Rabha conflict is a very sad phase in modern day Assam. It pains me to see native communities fight in this way and outsiders enjoying fruits of growing economy, employment and settlement in north-east. It is equally sad that the Garos donot see the real instigators. That Bangladeshis, noth Muslims and Hindus,
Nepalis and Marwaris settled in Garo hills are suppporting the Garo leaders in this mayhem is very very sad. Do we realise the graveness of the situation?
It is equally baffling to note that CM Tarun Gogoi has not yet visited the riot-effected areas in Goalpara. But whenever there is any killing of Hindi speaking people in Karbi Anglong, the same Gogoi rushes to the conflict zone. This shows that the Assamese vote-bank is far less compared to migrant votebanks like the Hindis, Bengalis and Nepalis in Assam. At present the CM of Assam is busy hiding his assets in the US. That is the main concern of our present 'swargadeo'.
The natives should realise that they are behaving like the Abel and Cain in the Bible. Abel and Cain were first cousins, the blood brothers but they killed each other, and destroy their entire race. The poeple of Assam and all the states formed from the womb of Assam should realise and ponder upon such killing of their brothers.

The recent declaration by the United Nations to commemorate October 2 ( birthday of Mahatma Gandhi) as 'International Day of Non violence' is simply a reassertion of the need for a violence free society. The year 2007 is the centenary year of the Satyagrah Movement launched by the Apostle of Peace.Nothing much seems to have changed on this front. The world today has become a cauldron of hate and strife. As our aspirations scale new economic heights and our possessions multiply, our tolerance and sensitivity levels get reduced.Whether it is the cruelty of the military junta in Myanmar, the suppression of democracy in Pakistan, the threat of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the continued...
