7 TH RACIALIST STRIKE ON INDIANS
DOWN WITH RACISM
For the seventh time, Australian boys struck at the Indian students in Australia,despite the denouncement by the government of Australia.Yesterday,a British MP said that Britain is full of foreigners in reminiscent of Enoch Powell's similar pronouncement.Racism is at work now in several places.World conference in Durban against racism has outlawed racism of any manifestation whatever.
It is true that Indians had swamped the west in terms of lakhs and the middleclass westerners might have felt threatened.In return, India would have provided space for a million whitemen or yellowmen- the Chinese.Americans would not accept CEO position in IIM or IIT or any sector and Indian would make their physical presence unaffordable.How many westerners- the tourists had been done to death in Goa or in Delhi.If we count the numbers, possibly Australia would be put to shame. The Australian and ndian mindset are not much different at least to the victims of racism. The universities, power centres and NGOs have to fight racism alongside the government in the country.
Is there internal racism in India ?
Undoubtedly yes. Assamese girls or boys or the NE students bore the brunt in railways and cities.In New Delhi, cases of rape and physical assault on NE youths and students had been reported thereby placing Australia as insignificant.What could be the plausible reasons. Historically speaking, North East had never been a part of mainland Moghul India or even British India.Assam had been an exception in being a part of British India jsy a shor while ago in history.History had therefore,separated Indians and the North easterners for three millennia only to be united by govt.gazette notification. Indians by choice or by gazetted Indian?The argument that NE becomes a past of political India so suddenly makes no sense.The mindset is not prepared.
To be a little bit specific, the people of Tibeto Burman or Sino-Tibetan origin are still recognised as non-Indians to 99% of Indians and they have to prove 1001 times daily with ID cards and 5 hour long arguments that they are also Indians.Indians never accept these people as Indian except through TV and print media or, ID cards.
This is the prima facie evidence of separate nationalities united by army's guns and governments' gazette notifications.No naturaleness and no spontaneity which is the first and foremost ingredient of nationality.The author himself had encountered innumerable experiences even within the region; sometimes, even for a minor misunderstanding that happens to every one, students of one adjacent college in december,2008 wanted my apology in public for a trifling matter misunderstood event to which to two professors- me and one more are equally and exactly equally involved.Forget about the trivia;even barrister Gandhi with ties and suits had to be kicked out of 1st class compartment by a racist, who is just one out of a million in South Africa.
Manipuri boys who by nature had never submitted to campus dada culture- may be due to absence of casteism in Manipuri society in 3000 years- had been driven out of Punjab, Allahabad, Madras or another 20 cities in the last 3 decades.To be honest enough, the boys might have been deliquent as in their age groups they behaved that way.Reason; Indian boys and girls had never accepted them as their own.
Manipuri terrorists or thugs had killed nearly 300 Manipuris a year for ransom so and so forth; but these are not highlighted by Telegraph,Guwahati.When a hundred Biharis had been killed in Assam, it was big news- we agree it should be and criminals deserve justice.When Telegraph highlights, the unfortunate killing of migrants in Manipur,Telegraph has done the right thing.Kudos.
But sadly, when 300 Manpuris are killed by Manipuri thugs, Telegraph conceals them and sometimes published as 1 cm.newslet in that wonderful paper.Our stand is that killing of 300 souls and another 5 or 100 deserve equal page 1 headline space and condemnation; we do that and Telegraph run by probably a covet fascist lack the courage to do so.Telegraph is not alone.
Selective justicing by the media is no better that selective injusticing.Telegragh might have expected a backlash and a communal riot; but it shall never happen.
Racism is to be fought in the mind of the racist first and crushed like fascism that papers like Telegraph secretly nurtures.1 year collecton would prove that.Down with racism- white or brown or golden.We are onein the struggle.

WORLD CLASS UNIV.IN NORTH EAST- WISHLIST
guwahati, 9 june,09,
tuesday
______________
QUO VADIS UNIV. IN NE REGION
soul searching and visionaries
HRD minister's public announcement to set up as many as 14 world class universities and 384 model colleges might be welcome in certain quarters.Naturally, any proposal to set up institutions are prima facie welcome before the conseqential, result-oriented ramifications could be assessed in cool thought chamber.Insitutions are run by men and t is the quality of the men that reigns supreme.Can we do some honest evaluation of univs. in our region.
We went to central universities [ without naming] in the region. Offices,classrooms so and so forth could be found open for a few hours after 11 am and 2 pm. Salary hike- 80,000/ pm to start with, a meager 3,ooo per day is not making some stoic faces smile.Some universities in the Myanmar border, particularly one, make us refresh with Kampuchea's killing fields.Shoot outs, extortions,Berlin walls in the tiny spaces available, daily massive propaganda handouts a la Natzi, Goebellian style are in the daily news.It is central universty at the end of the day.People are in siege of the terror withn and terror without.How can you or me concentrate a wonderful pathbreaking economics or,philosophy or,physics paper worthy of world class evaluation in the midst of the killing fields.
Harvard, yale, Princeton,Cambridge,Oxford,Edinburgh,Moscow or Beijing universities are different.The halo of first top Indian universities like Calcutta,Madras, Bombay,Delhi,Mysore in that order had vanished only to be replaced by highly perturbed, politically motivated clones.National Knowledge Commission on 4 fields,TIFAC report need careful reading before we launch heritage or,other forms of universities.They are the knowledge inputs of 300 Indian top academics and scientists working in a team.
The problem is that basic university education has become a thing of the fast, although some IITs do shine like freaks.Indias HRD minister and the VCs have to do a little bit of soul searching, apart from gimmicks. NCHE is yet to be assessed.
World class would not become so overnight; they resulted from accumulated experiences and enormous creativiy of the faculties as a whole.A DULL slot and a black sheep would be the end.Infrastructures.Atthesame time, it may be noted that in the last 30 year old bookfairs- twice a year held in the city_ could be error of judgement also, I hardly could meet just a handful of teachers , nothing more-nothing less.The show business is not the indicator; the culture sustainable s that reallly matters.There is no room for sudden quantum jump in any discipline.Even the theory of justice today is the beyeproduct of 5000 year-long theoretical infighting across the continents and the real politics on the ground.

LTTE dead ; EELAM ALIVE
guwahati 19 May,2009 -Tuesday
__________________________
srilanka wins the LTTE war
TAMIL EELAM ALIVE
---------------------------------------
LTTE is dead,so is the tiger Prabhakaran,his sea,air ,black tigers and the 20,000 diehard Tamil liberation soldiers after 26 year-long war with Sri Lankan arm y,surreptiously and logistically aided by big powers like India at the end part for their vital national interests in taking sides with Lankan-Sinhala dominated government.With the decimation of LTTE, has the original Tamil cause like Eela m been dead is a pertinent issue in South Asia.
LTTE is probably not the cause of the war,but the inevitable consequence of national oppression of the Tamil Hindus by the Buddhist-dominated Sinhala only unitarist foundation of the Lankan state.It has committed blunders in turning friends into sworn enemy like India govt.
Historically speaking, before the colonial British left Lanka in a mess,north east Sri Lanka had been ruled by Tamil kings and later Tamil dispensation for 2000 years in the same way as the rest was in the sway of the Sinhalas who had been Aryans unlike the Dravidan Tamils.The two-national existence was a reality till British messed up the mess had been bequeathed to dominany Sinhalas.
In the process, the Tamil Muslims also had a mixed entity in the NE Srilanka.The political re-union of north and the east is a problem due to Muslim factor.
The media had highlighted LTTE -led assasinations since 1975 till 2005 including PM Rajiva Gandhi which resulted to the absolute vulnerability of the LTTE in the conventional war, which the org.had underestimated inspite of switching over to protracting guerrilla war.Prabhkaran cannot be bent and so he breaks.The thumb rule equally applies to Sinhala-led chauvinisy government.
The world media had forgotten that the first assasination took place when Buddhist fanatic had done to dead a liberal Sinhala President Bandanaike in 1960s .Sinhals could not survive as moderates.Sinhala chauvinism and only Sinhala language Act had discriminated Tamils for long after the British left powers to Sinhla dispensation.LTTE is a byeproduct of legalised and institutionalised Sinhala oppression of Tamils.The deeper faultline lies in the very foundation of Sinhala's SriLankan state.
India might have come to rescue the LTTE at the last chapter of the endgame, but for the PM's assassination, whatever the reason; India navy totally blockaded any escape of LTTE leadership by the sea route because of the assassination blunder.
Actually,LTTE,unlike TELO,PLOTE,EPRLF- now goneor surviving under different identities elsewhere,has been the favourite,blue -eyed baby of Govt.of India.From a scratch,LTTE had been scripted as the most formidable force by PMs and top army generals of India till it progressively degenerated into terrorist set up.From revolution to terrorism- that is the blunder,as Karuna-LTTE no2. who switched over to govt- side as a minister had pointed out.
Srilankan army and the decimated LTTE had committed war crimes for which Lankan generals might be booked.It is upto the USA and other powers to do so.The world has to take the agenda of war crimes seriously.For LTTE, they are physically decimated,but the Lankan generals are alive and could be tried under a judicial dispensation that the world could evolve.
The post-LTTE world of national oppressions
Yesterday, US prez.Obama assured the formation of sovereign Palestine state, and it is going to be,unlike the messy Eelam.The Tamil diaspora in the world and the gen-next woudl insist on eelam in the changed context over a period of time.Rajapksha and his fans assume that Tamil issues is dead with the LTTE; it is far from true- even moderate TULF could launch a democratic movement by default of the LTTE.
Lankan government- deeply entrapped from within by Sinhala chauvinism would definitely propose a softer option - 13 Amendment of Srilankan Constitution for limited and highly qualified Tamil self rule in the East and the North.Even for this move, the prez. has to win JVP and Sinhala extremeist bodies and the fanatical Buddhist order,let alone the UNP.
India would naturally insist on 1986 accord for limited Tamil autonomy.Prabhakaran rejected it and urged upon Tamil self-determination in 1986. Eelam could be diluted,yet eelam is the context for a federal solution.If Sinhala prez. mistakes history,history cannot mistake him.
Irish question is alive since 1922 till 1998 Belfast Agreement.Scottish issue is alive since 1707 AD.Puerto Rico in USA and Quebec in Canada are live wires.So is Basque in Europe,Kurds in Iraq.Chechen issue is alive in Russia after 300 years.No statesman worth the salt would conclude that Tamil eelam is dead with LTTE.
UN is ready to concede sovereignty to 16 nations under C-24.Out of 60 dependent nations registered under UNPO,as many as 20 are viable.UNPO is divided house though.South Asia has another half a dozen nations in wait for national emergence.The unfinished agenda of colonialism also includes Eelam.It could be autonomous or,self rule or, sovereign; a federal solution is the minimal political agenda for a peaceful SriLanka.A Lankan nation with wailing Tamils and smiling,elated Sinhalas ,is not a nation at all ,and a nation is yet to exist in Lanka with the exit of the LTTE.

KILLING OF MIGRANT WORKERS IN NE REGION
Guwahati,15 May,2009
________________
MIGRANT WORKERS'
RIGHT TO LIFE IN THE NES
Before the constitution of India in 1950 and the UDHR,1948 guaranteed the right to life of every one,this right has been inherent in every individual- citizen,foreigner or migrant worker.Sections of armed groups- genuine or otherwise fake- might harboured xenophobia or, even a perceived threat to indigenous people in the NE region of India.
Suitable laws exist and if necessary, like other hill states of the region, Assam and Manipur governments might have amended land laws to prevent tranfer of indigenous lands to others.Laws can handle issues relating to migrant workers;however, certain elements,not necessarily from the radical NSAs and NLMs could have taken the law into their hands and attacked the unarmed, helpless migrant workers.
The government- central or state- chose to remain miraculously silent spectators when around 100 migrant workers died in Assam recently and another a dozen before a couple of days at Loktak lake in Manipur.Paradodically, Loktak lake had been combed from ground and the air by unmanned aircrafts,helicopters and it is difficult to penetrate into Loktak chakraviyu which is at present totally in siege of the the Indian armed forces.
Common people would love to find fault with Indian army and their, satellite managed-GPS positioned, armed to the teeth army shield and in no lesser terms, with those elements who hoodwinked the army with a smile, and had done to death ten migrant workers.The world is one in showing concern for both the native and the helpless migrant workers.
The apathy of the Indian forces, state police and the ten-thousand strong spy-network, equipped with the best-state of the art equipments meant for the NE region only,not only to the protection of migrant workers, civil society bombed on daily basis by so called terrorist groups,but also to government officials like Dr.TH.Kishan had not been denounced by national political parties, HR bodies, so and so on.
Given the state of the art readiness of Indian army at Ukhrul and the equipments kept at their disposal that monitor even Red China at every microsecond,Dr Kishan could have been comfprtably rescued in the first one hour of his abduction, stage-managed by one Hindi speaking DC for three days in three sq.Km area- a DC known for syphoning off crores of rupees from the hill development fund thereby impoverishing the Manipur hill people for decades, with the full knowledge of the state chief secretary, who in person for political assimilation of tribes, had married a Naga lady and before the eyes of the central government.
If the DC and the CS wanted to save their junior official Kishan serving them ,they could have done it at a moment's notice with the help of their mobiles and super fast technology.In similar vein, if the Indian army, the CS, police and huge KGB like set- up in Manipur wished to save the ten unfortunate souls who came to Manipur for a muthi chawal and not for purchasing Manipuri lands, they could have done it easily.
If they had a long term policy to systematically plant surrogate civil society chaos as a methodology to contain insurgency like blasting articial fire to blast out bigger fires as being done in the USA, the pay-off is temporary and, in the long run, that may not be the best way to a permanent solution.These tested mechanisms are obsolete and people think about long term solutions.
______________________________________________
Migrant workers are not safe all over the world and hence, the international concern and conventions.The federal government at Delhi could have shown a little amount of concern for these unfortunate souls -the wretched of the earth, abandoned by the almighty as well, who migth have or not created them- that I have not seen.

INDIAN PRESIDENT IN NEPAL VS.MAOIST PREMIER
Guwahati
5 May,2009
_________
PEACE DEAL IN NEPAL HAMPERED
WOULD PLA RESUME REVOLT ?
___________________________
The turmoil that triggered off following Maoist PM Prachanda's resignation last night in the wake of a constitutional crisis that happened between Nepalese PM that sacked a defiant army chief and Indian Medishi Mr. Yadav- the president of Nepal who acted on the dictate of government of India in defiance of the imperatives of the administrative primacy of PM, may lead to reversal of the peace process in Nepal.
Both India and communist China had fully utilized the traditional political space in Nepal. China is not far behind either.Pro- India PMs and cabinets had conventionally ruled Nepal till the PLA with 20,000 armed cadres revolted against the king and the Nepalese dispensation as a whole.As usual, Indian embassy in Nepal did overtime work to retain thte Medishi[ people of foreign origin] army chief who against the peace deal in nepal, openly resisted the incorporation of the PLA in the Nepalese mainstream- i.e. the Nepalese army.Red China wanted that the Medishi army chief who broke the peace deal should leave the job to his deputy, who is loyal to the Maoist government.PM Prachanda sacked the defiant army chief who refused to obey the PM.
Todays morning papers had presented the Indian case fully and distorted the Nepalese sovereign right to rule themselves to suit the need of the Indian embassy that does the proxy administration even in the new dispensation.The PLA had already lost 13,000 cadres in the revolution to protect their economic rights and freedom of the poor Nepalese and the peace deal included norms to incorporate the remaining 20,000 PLA cadres in the Nepalese army and Nepalese national mainstream,lest they should remain rebels forever. The Medishi prez. Yadav claims that he is the commander of the armed forces and hence the appointment or dismissal of the army chief would lie with him.
In the cabinet form of government that Nepal adopts, the prez is a luxury and the real centre of power is the PM, since no two centres of power can operate in conflicting positions in the same polity.Impossible.It happened once in India also when prez. Rajendra Prasad claimed same authority as Yadav does in Nepal now.
Attorney general of India resolved the impasse by educating prez.Rajendra Prasad that PM is the sole authority although the Indian president is the head of the defence forces;it is the PM of India who woul run the military, appoint and sack the army chief,not Prasad.General Cariappa once harboured the ambition to rule India by marginalising the PM Nehru who clipped his wings forever by dividing India into four separate commands; Cariappa learnt the lesson late and he was awarded the highest civil honour not so long ago.Nepal's PM- red or blue is the actual centre of power which the Indian prez of Nepal Yadav from the opposition party should not contest.
Indian prez. liked to inaugurate the innovated Somnath temple; Nehru opposed that a secular prez. should not explicitly do like that with any religious group and India was peaceful with such people in power,unlike the war veterans in the elections at the moment.Now, Talibans of all faiths ar prepared to shed the war of worlds.
Morning papers in India blame Prachanda for resignation and reviving the turmoil without giving a holistic thought of bringing peace in Nepal.UNIMIL does not interfere,but India interferes and hence the explicit and reciprocal Chinese interference.Unlike China, India is surrounded by all small states ablaze- Srilanka,BD,Paki and what not; India itself has 15 Naxal infested states,7 plus one insurgent states i.e. 23 burning states out of 28.Indian interference in Nepal could be restrained so as to reduce Chinese interventions in Nepal.
In order to save the Nepal peace process from further sliding down, the Nepalse themselves could take care of themselves; UNIML itself plays considerable restraint in the face turmoil and uncertainty.Rational restraint by itself is an active conduct of business between and among the nations.

Morning papers in India blame Prachanda for resignation and reviving the turmoil without giving a holistic thought of bringing peace in Nepal.UNIMIL does not interfere,but India interferes and hence the explicit and reciprocal Chinese interference.Unlike China, India is surrounded by all small states ablaze- Srilanka,BD,Paki and what not; India itself has 15 Naxal infested states,7 plus one insurgent states i.e. 23 burning states out of 28.Indian interference in Nepal could be restrained so as to reduce Chinese interventions in Nepal.
In order to save the Nepal peace process from further sliding down, the Nepalse themselves could take care of themselves; UNIML itself plays considerable restraint in the face turmoil and uncertainty.Rational restraint by itself is an active conduct of business between and among the nations.

THE SRILANKAN CEASEFIRE PENDING
guwahati 25 april,2009
______________________
THE UN, THE WHITE HOUSE,INDIA FOR IMMEDIATE CESSATION
OF HOSTILITIES IN LANKA
____________________________________________________
The LTTE chief might have escaped through sea route along with his two remaining top commanders or, could have been ready for a personal decision on the modalities for a surrender. Like every Tamil tiger, the chief makes no difference of himself in going around with the cyanide pill that he should not miss at a moment's call .Two things are quite obvious at this stage :
1.The LTTE could be decimated or wiped out by the Srilankan army in the final assault at the 6 sq.km. no fire zone with 20,ooo Tamil civilians being entrapped.
2.The likely decimation of the LTTE would not lead to immediate termination of the three-decade long Tamil upsurge for a final solution of the Tamil national question.
Of the two issues, the second one overrides the first one which is instrumental in keeping the second one a valid proposition.
The second matter could be resolved either by conceding independent Tamil homeland or, two- state solution in the tear-drop island, that the Sinhala government is not at all prepared to concede or, working out an autonomous Tamil state catering to the need of Tamil Hindus that constitute 18% of the island population and Tamil Muslims that constitute 8% of island population.The 76% of population- the lionised Buddist Sinhlas starting from the days of Buddhist demonstration in Bandanaika's era down in 1950s to Premadas to Rajpaksha presidency in 2009, who by himself is the incorrigible Sinhala chauvinist and had never bothered for a federal solution .
Thimpu talks , 1986 Indo- sriLanka accord and Norwegian- led talks of early 2000 are missed opportunities for both the warring groups. TELO in 1980s was favoured child of DMK unlike LTTE- the favoured child of MGR, unlike EPRLF and others ,none of which survived barrinng the LTTE.
The TULF of 1980s- the Tamil moderate voice had been gagged by the LTTE.Even the Sinhala Maoists- the JVP, led by husband of Chandrika Kumartunga was ultra-nationalistic in Sinhla terms.The Buddhist clergy are equally ultra nationalitic.That is the bedrock of the LTTE legitimacy.As of now, like before, only a federal solution clearly stands out as the viable solution in the midst of a complicated military- political situation.
Unlike the insurgency-affected full-fledged states of India's North-East, Tamils donot have even a Tamil constituent state in united Srilanka.Denial and deprivation led to TULF and emergence of the LTTE- the lethal liberation force in SriLanka.A federal solution has been missed for long due to the Sinhala chauvinism and the spark emanated from Jaffna university in 1980s and the violence since 1983 of the LTTE that kept other Tamil outfits aside.
Thimpu talks,1986 Indo-Srilankan accord and Nowegian-facilitated conflict resolution did not deliver results.The 1986 accord did not take off due to Jayawadene's leaving the office and Premadasa's dislike the modalities.With the demise of the LTTE, the Tamil eelam fire would not put off just because of the militray defeat of Tigers.A federal solution and political admission of pluralism could be the road to durable peace.The eelam spirit is alive with or without LTTE.
The UNSC could not make the ceasefire an agenda on 22 April last because of Russia-China equation in the SC.As on 25 April, the white house stands- as it makes its stand public- for the ceasefire inorder to help the entrapped civilians.India takes similar stand.
Russia's 300- year- old Chechen issue and China's post-Mao Xinxiang issue prevents the UNSC to enlist the ceasefire in the SC agenda, although the SC makes it quite clear the immediate ceasefire by the two parties are the immediate imperative.The US made it quite on 24 April ,2009 clear that Srilanka government and the LTTE had violated the international humanitarian laws by denying rights to the Tamils in
the NFZ.
The immediate concern is saving the entrapped Tamil civilians in the NFZ and working out the modalities for cessation of hostilities as India proposes.The SL army and the LTTE are allegedly violating international humanitarian laws- as the US white house speaks out a short while ago.
