Bangladeshis should not think Bodos as like other communities in Assam or in India. They have no rights to protests for discrimination in BTC area being illegal immigrants as Oboro. Today,only for misrule and indifferent of successive Assam government since independence towards this mias,incidents like this happening.Media should not use minority community,should use illegal immigrants,using minority word gives disrespect to fellow indian muslims,especially Goria,assamese muslim

Sub:- Bodos / Assames should not compromise on illegal immigrants issue.
Dear Sir
As per reports in prominent national print and electronic media, the gory on-going riots in Bodoland Territorial Administered Districts (BTAD) of Kokrajhar, Baska, Chirang etc. areas of the Indian State of Assam is now turning out to be locals vs migrant settlers issue. The Bodos / Assamese feel they are losing the demographic advantage due to the influx of `illegal’ settlers and might soon turn a minority in their own land. Because Bodos / Assamese think that so far, no political party has applied itself to tackling the issue of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh therefore the Bodos and the people of Assam should immediately move the High Court / Supreme Court as given below:-
(1)- First and foremost the Bodos / Assames should not compromise on illegal immigrants issue. While State and Union Governments are doing their best to control these riots and to maintain law and order in the State and in this exercise the Bodos / Assames should fully co-operate with these Governments, but at the same time the High Court / Supreme Court should be immediately moved by Bodos / Assames against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
(2)- There are other States too in India which are suffering from the problem of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Therefore it will go a long way in solving the problem of illegal immigrants in Assam if these other effected States are also mobilized by Bodos / Assames to move their High Courts and Supreme Court against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
(3)- In these petitions the Courts should be prayed to identify, track and deport these illegal immigrants. For this Courts should also be prayed to direct the Government of India to ask Bangladesh to take these illegal immigrants back.

No person seems to have dominated Gujarat politics as much as Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the last one decade. In case he wins this 2007 election, where fifty-fifty chances appear after the voting on 11 and 16 December, what will be the ‘Modis’ effect on national politics viz-a-viz BJP and if he fails, how the Congress and BJP will turnaround their politicking in India; a debate every political analyst and media portal is genuinely trying to explore. We argue that after the 2002 Gujarat it is not LK Advani but Narendra Bhai Modi who is the formidable icon for Hindutva politics in India. His defeat or win in the recent Gujarat election will mean beyond Gujarat. Modi’s...
