Displaced persons from India- Bangladesh border stage a protest rally in Agartala

[Joe Shearer]

If you had said frankly that you need a daily dose of love and affection and that it is missing from your daily life, I would have written not eighteen lines but twenty-eight, or whatever number works for you. Far be it from me to keep you from growing to your full emotional development by the time you reach maturity. You are assured of a kind word and a pat on the head any time you want. For sugar cubes and carrots, a small extra price may be charged.

There demand is quite justified. The complain isn't about barbed wire but rehabilitation. You pov and your GOVs pov seems as much disgusting as it can be. Most those protesters must be from the tribal areas of NE who always gets nothing when it comes to citizen rights. Anyways it's not my concern, carry on.

When you don't know the facts, don't comment.

They were offered full packages for what they've lost. However, their approach is the easy way out; where someone has lost a few square feet, or an illegally constructed temple under a tree has gone, they want employment for a certain number of members of the family in government. These are all refugee Bengalis from Bangladesh, Tripura border people from the Belonia area, no tribals, so perhaps we should ask you to pay for the rehabilitation.

I love the way you armchair pundits spin vast conspiracy theories, caste struggles, about the affected being Dalits, ethnic struggles, about the affected being tribesmen from the north-east, and the like, without even knowing where the trouble is located, or what or who the population is over there.

The leader of the agitation is a Subal Bhaumik; what does he sound like to you? Or have you slaughtered off all the Hindus and no longer remember? There are no Bhaumiks native to Tripura; they've all emigrated during one pogrom or the other.

Further, he leads the Simanta Bhumi Suraksha Samiti. Do you need to know Khasi or Nagamese to understand this?

But you aren't particularly bothered about facts, are you? Only the chance to exercise your lungs, while sitting safely at home. Keep it up.

WOW, five lines from me generates 18 lines from you. Good.
Now tell me something,
you mentioned that
care to elaborate?

About Subal Bhaumik and Simanta Bhumi Suraksha Samiti, do they really sound Bangladeshi? Atleast according to you guys, all of the immigrants are Muslims. Still I personnaly know many khasia artists, many of 'em lost their lands here and there and its not uncommon that some intellectuals will use them as a weapon for publicity.

Before you post anymore of your sugarbuns pls do mention where the hell did I write 'bout dalits and stuffs? Your writing reminds me of some one, who asked-

"Should I pretend to be Shakespeare in a desperate attempt to achieve social recognition?"

Ahem: the sequence that is so intriguing:

• Most those protesters must be from the tribal areas of NE who always gets nothing when it comes to citizen rights.
• The leader of the agitation is a Subal Bhaumik; what does he sound like to you? Or have you slaughtered off all the Hindus and no longer remember? There are no Bhaumiks native to Tripura; they've all emigrated during one pogrom or the other. Further, he leads the Simanta Bhumi Suraksha Samiti. Do you need to know Khasi or Nagamese to understand this?
• About Subal Bhaumik and Simanta Bhumi Suraksha Samiti, do they really sound Bangladeshi? Atleast according to you guys, all of the immigrants are Muslims.

I mean, how hilarious can this get? You insinuate it is north-east tribals or ethnics who are the sufferers; you are told that it is Bengalis, refugees settled in Tripura who are in fact the protesters; with a vast air of not having understood what is going on, you ask in an interested, innocent tone, do these names sound like Bangladeshis, Muslims? As if you weren't well aware that your badmouthing about tribals was being exposed. And then suddenly in come some Khasia artists, out of nowhere, just to muddy the waters and give you manoeuvring space.

What a laugh!

What else? Oh, about the Dalits;

• you armchair pundits;
• where the hell did I write 'bout dalits and stuffs

The reference about Dalits was addressed to armchair pundits - plural. Plural means that it is a reference to more than one of you. It was intended for an earlier remark, not by you. But I forgot - love and affection deficit, isn't it? So no scolding, no criticism. Right.

Khasi artists? Lost their lands here? Being used for publicity? What on earth are you talking about?
