On the other hand, Assam is one of the most densely soldiered regions in the world. It is really difficult to mention the accurate figure of security agencies that are deployed in Assam. India, to avert the hue and cry in home and abroad, intentionally keep this information secret.

According to press reports, at least, one lakh soldiers of Indian Army are deployed in Assam. Six battalions of BSF, 10 battalions of CRP, five companies of the Punjab Police Commandos, one battalion of State Rifles have been deployed in the state. The number of other forces cannot be ascertained. One can have an easy idea how much of them are there, if one looks into so many security agencies besides the armed forces in India. Just look at their names and figures( Ministry of Home Affairs,http://mha.nic.in):

BSF: Organisation - total 157 battalions
Artillery - 7 BSF Artillery Regiments
Water Wing
Air Wing
Signals Regiment
10 Frontier Headquarters
39 Sectors


Assam Rifles:
41 battalions
3 Maintenance Groups
Signal Unit
Construction Company
9 Range Headquarters


Indo-Tibetan Border Police:
29 battalions (4 specialist Battalions)
over 35,569 personnel
755 Officers


Other Paramilitary Forces:
Coast Guard
Rastriya Rifles
Special Frontier Force
Central Reserve Police Force
Home Guards


Intelligence Agencies:
National:
Research and Analysis Wing
Intelligence Bureau
Joint Intelligence Committee


Intelligence Agencies:
Military:
Aviation Research Centre (ARC)
Directorate of Military Intelligence
Directorate of Air Intelligence
Directorate of Naval Intelligence
Special Security Bureau


Other outfits:
All-India Radio Monitoring Service (AIRMS)
Joint Cipher Bureau
Signal Intelligence Directorate


Law enforcement Agencies:
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
Criminal Investigations Department (CID)
Railway Protection Force
Rapid Action Force (RAF)
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)
National Security Guards (NSG)-has a strength of 7330 personnel
Special Protection Group (SPG)


All these agencies have strong presence in Assam. Moreover, India erected barbed wire fence along every possible point of 272km-long Assam-Bangladesh border. Heavy security forces have been deployed in those hilly areas where India could not yet erect the fence. Observation towers and posts are seen after every 500 yards. Not even a rat, not to speak of a human being, can enter Assam hoodwinking BSF and other Indian paramilitary forces.

Leaving aside the question of who is the author of this "fairytale" I will just like to comment on the armed forces in Assam part.

The author first says it is difficult to estimate the number of soldiers because it is kept secret, then says that the press report say of 1 lakh soldiers making it the most millitrilized state. (Kashmiris will be angry with assam for taking away their title )

He then goes on to list ALL the paramilitary forces as if all the 157 battalions of BSF, All 41 battalions of Assam Rifles and all 29 battalions of ITBP are based in Assam.

He also counts Intelligence Agencies and Investigative bodies like CBI and CID in the heavy military presence in Assam

Atleast Pakistanis have some better standard of troling

 

[Roybot]

He studied international relation!! Many people study on Bangladesh and india!!

Whatever floats your boat buddy. You keep believing that these articles are written by Igor Siljanoski.

Its funny how you think that Zainal Abedin is using Igor's work without his permission, when it could very well be the other way round. But then again Zainal Abedin and Igor Siljanoski are the same people.

Its just obvious that Zainal Abedin is the actual author, since he has actually written a book on these issues. Bangladesh and RAW. http://www.defencejournal.com/2000/feb/raw.htm

And here's another epic article from "Igor Siljanoski". I ll quote a paragraph for you,

On December 16, 2007 Bangladesh entered 37 years of its existence. But during this long span of time Bangladesh could not reach its cherished goal of independence for which we fought, it rather faced unthinkable impediments and predicaments. This happened due to our utter failure of identifying our friends and foes, mending our stupidity and zeal for personal interest and power. It is our ill luck that we considered and some of us still consider our arch rival and foe as our friend.

Don't tell me Igor Siljanoski is a Bangladeshi now. Its just a pseudoname put on by some pathetic Bangladeshi, who thinks that he can peddle his bs and be taken more seriously, if he uses a white man's name.

Quite pathetic

By Igor Siljanoski
It is observed that it has become a fashion for some of the Indian politians and columnists to make allegation of illegal immigration of Bangladesh nationals into the northeastern states of India in general and Assam in particular. Recently the Assam Gvernor alleged that about 6000 Bangladesh nationals enter Assam everyday. The effort was made to divert the attention of the exploited and deprived people of Assam to such an issue ' foreigners' which is popular to the ethnic Assamese. Some in the media also jumped on the issue.

How a state Governor could blame a neghbouring country in such an indecent and irresponsible way . Why didn't the Indian intelligence and security forces that beset the state could detain the Bangladeshis? According his statistics 1,80,000 Bangladeshis enter Assam every month and in a year the figure will stand at 12, 96,000. According to the census of 2001, the total population of Assam was 2,66,55,528. Among them, according Indian media, the Muslims constitute 30 per cent of the total population of the state. If so, their number now should be around 79,96,659. If one year's intrusion is added, the present number of the Muslims should reach at 92, 56,659. According to the census of 1991 Muslims were 63, 73,204.

Indian government and its media now point their fingers at the Muslims when they refer to the term 'infiltrators' in India, though there prevails strong
anti-infiltrator sentiment and campaign in all the states of northeast. Muslims were about 40% when Assam was merged with India in 1947. Their sizeable presence was in existence even before the advent of the British. Muslims were never infiltrators in Assam.

The Muslims of today in Assam are not immigrant or outsiders, rather most of them are the sons of the soil. After fall of Gurgobinda in the 14th century, many Ahom people adjoining Sylhet converted to Islam. During the British period, thousand of Bengali speaking Muslims were brought to and settled in Assam to bring arable lands under cultivation.

The descendants of these Muslims now form 30% of the total population of
Assam. These descendants of those Bengali speaking Muslims forgot their language and culture, but not their religion. This new generation Muslims of Assam feel pride to identify themselves Ahoms, treat Assam as their motherland, use Ahomiya language in their daily life, send their children to schools where Ahomiya is the medium of instruction. Other than their religious activities they are hundred per cent Ahoms.

They cannot be branded as foreigners or Bangladeshis. So it is itself illegal and unjustified and mere violation of human rights to brand and harass the
Muslims in Assam as illegal , outsiders or infiltrators.

Moreover it is impossible fo the Bangladeshis to enter Assam is such a massive way. Entrance of six thousand Bangladeshis daily means Assam border is opened for all. But the reality is just opposite. An Indian columnist Ajay Suri reported: After Kashmir, the Northeast India has the maximum concentration of intelligence personnel.

Apart from Military Intelligence, BSF's own G-branch (its intelligence wing) is active in the region. Also, more than 500 Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials are stationed permanently here, and the Research & Analysis wing (RAW) has its men even in Bangladesh( http://www.indianexpress.com/ie20010420/nat23.html).

On the other hand, Assam is one of the most densely soldiered regions in the world. It is really difficult to mention the accurate figure of security agencies that are deployed in Assam. India, to avert the hue and cry in home and abroad, intentionally keep this information secret.

According to press reports, at least, one lakh soldiers of Indian Army are deployed in Assam.

Heavy security forces have been deployed in those hilly areas where India could not yet erect the fence. Observation towers and posts are seen after every 500 yards. Not even a rat, not to speak of a human being, can enter Assam hoodwinking BSF and other Indian paramilitary forces.

The politicians on the otherhand resurrect anti-Muslim campaign in Assam when national and provincial elections approach. This time same thing happened. Assam Assembly election is scheduled to be held in early 2006. Anti-Muslim propaganda is a common election strategy in India. What happened in Gujarat? The Chief Minister Modi killed more than 3,000 Muslims to get the support and vote of the Gujaratee Hindus.

In Assam Prafulla Kumar Mohanta also got power using the same anti-Muslim card and about five thousand Muslims were killed in the state during the anti-settlers movement in the eighties.But Profulla Kumar Mohanta, the prophet of anti-settlers' agitation in the eighties, despite hectic efforts failed to prove the Muslims as illegal in Assam. He ruled Assam twice, but found little Muslims illegal. For this reason, Mohanta toned down his anti-Muslim slogan.

The most fantastic matter is this that the current Chief Minister of Assam Tarun Gogoi, dismissed the allegation of the governor. He suggested his boss to present document infavour of his utterance. Gogoi also said in a television interview that Assam Governor Ajay Singh should provide facts to substantiate his report that 6,000 immigrants enter the state everyday.But the Governor surprisingly remained mum, as if, he did not hear the challenge of his Chief Minister.

The Bangladeshis cannot leave for Assam leaving their country. The minimum daily net income of a rickshaw driver in Dhaka City is not less than $3. A labourer of any rural area earns at least $2, while his 4-member family can live easily spending one dollar.

Rather Anand will see one Indian out of every 10-rickshaw drivers in the street of Dhaka.

The utterance of Assam's Governor got momentum when on April 12 this year a group of Dibrugarh-based youngsters got together to form Chiring Chapori Yuva Mancha (CCYM).

They published leaflets asking residents not to harbour, employ or provide food to suspected Bangladeshis. CCYM claims, after the warning thousands of Bangladeshis who have been working as labourers and rickshaw pullers have been leaving the town of Dibrugarh. However, the estimate of number of people leaving varies. The group convened a press conference and thanked people for their support.

A member of the forum said, "The response to the campaign against illegal migrants has been very encouraging. People from all quarters of this township, irrespective of caste, creed and community, have responded fully to our sincere appeal." But, in fact, this was exclusively a media propaganda to mislead and misguide others, particularly to terrify the Muslims. There is no sign in practice that any Muslim left Assam. No other sources, other than so-called 'Chiring Chapori Yuva Manch', claimed so. All Assam Minority Students Union claimed that the religious minorities working as wage earners in the Upper Assam districts are actually from the erosion-hit villages of Morigaon and Barpeta districts.

Still some other groups like All Assam Students Union (AASU), Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chhatra Parishad, Tai Ahom Students Union and Motok Students Union also joined the campaign. As it is well known in Assam these student organisatons are directly or indirectly controlled by RAW. ASSU, the prophet of anti-immigrant campaign in Assam, now uses the anti-outsider sentiment against the Muslims, who are in the truest sense of the term are not outsiders, as they have assimilated with the Ahoms, the sons of the soil. It is not the Muslims who capture and control the key positions of Assam, but the outsiders who came from West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajsthan, Punjab and other states of India.

Now the common people of Assam want to get rid of these Indians. To frustrate this sentiment and divert the attention of the people from the real outsiders, the vested quarters let loose its operatives and agents in Assam and elsewhere in the region to create anti-Muslim sentiment mainly for two reasons.

It is assumed that anti-Muslim sentiment will unite the non-Muslims to vote for pro-ASSU Ahom Gano Parishad in one hand, and even prompt the Muslims to lean to ASSU and AGP to avoid their wrath. Dhubri, Goalpara, Kokrajhar, Morigaon, Silchar and Nagoan districts of Assam have Muslim majority. There are sizeable Muslims in other districts of the state. These Muslims determine which party will rule Assam. For this reason, RAW through its agents and operative, puts pressure on the Muslims so that they vote for those candidates who enjoy its blessings.

Secondly, this type of queer and incredible issue is surfaced whenever the nationalist and patriotic forcers assume power in Bangladesh. Raising anti-Muslim slogan, India intrigues to put pressure on Bangladesh.

However, it is a welcome step that the state government apprehending a communal backlash as certain quarters tried to give the issue a religious colour, took prompt measures. Assam Home Minister Rokibul Hussain asked the district administration and the police to remain vigilant to ensure that no genuine Indian citizens are harassed in the name of hounding foreigners and also to prevent any sort of communal tension.

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi asked Hussain, Planning Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma and Home Commissioner B K Gohain to rush to Dibrugarh and take stock of the situation.

The government issued a mild warning, saying it would take "appropriate action against anyone found harassing or intimidating minorities in the name of illegal migrants." It has instituted two inquiries into the exodus. Apart from Dibrugarh additional deputy commissioner Mukul Gogoi, home commissioner Biren Gohain has been asked to investigate the development and submit a report within a month. A press release from Dispur said a preliminary investigation revealed that the people who fled Dibrugarh hailed from Darrang, Sonitpur, Goalpara, Barpeta and Nagaon districts. All these steps prove that no Muslim illegally live in Assam.

Meanwhile, the All Assam Minority Students Union warned both Delhi and Dispur to be ready to face an unexpected situation if stern action was not taken against the "communal leaders" responsible for the exodus of the working class minorities from the Upper Assam districts. It said dubbing them foreigners and imposing an economic blockade on them was a conspiracy of both the BJP and the AASU for their narrow political gain, which would ultimately lead to ethnic bloodbath.

The other non-Congress and non-BJP parties have come together at the initiative of the Communist Party of India (Marxist)'s state unit. They have expressed concern over the harassment of the religious minorities and the attempts to revive the anti-foreigners' agitation in Assam under the garb of a campaign against illegal Bangladeshi migrants.

The parties include the Nationalist Congress Party, the Republican Socialist Party, the United Minorities Front (UMF), the Janata Dal (Secular), the CPI (ML), the Samajwadi Party, and the SUCI.

Finally I would request fellow Indians not to make fabricated reports on Bangladesh . Let us be good neighours and follow the art of live and let live. Let the Muslims of Assam and India live in peace and contribute to the development where they live in.

Bangladeshis can't even do proper propaganda, but I guess it's quite good in Bangladeshi standard, see they believe whatever they are told to believe.

 

[Zabaniyah]

I don't know. Either the mentioned article is a severe case of plagiarism, or some attempt to troll.

I wouldn't deny that there are cases of illegal immigration from Bangladesh to India mainly due to grinding poverty and lack of facilities. Having being to parts of Comilla and Sylhet, I can say those parts are pretty poor and not very developed. Similarly applies to other parts of Bangladesh.

Dhaka is just a bit more developed since all the development activity are focused on Dhaka alone! This basically suggests lack of job opportunities in other parts of the country other than Dhaka. Hell, people who don't find jobs wind up pulling rickshaws.

Having being grown up in over five countries myself, I have never seen any country whose people are so underprivileged. And it does make me sad that this is my own country of origin.

The elite rulers should be ashamed of themselves.

The only way to solve this grinding problem in Bangladesh is to decentralize economic development. And the country's growing population is a ticking time-bomb. This issue urgently needs to be addressed.

But some of the data regarding the number of Bangladeshi illegals seem extremely exaggerated. And if those numbers are true, then they are probably just really stupid.

Not trolling or being biased here, just stating the reality in Bangladesh guys. Don't know about India

God, I hate those two ladies.

More about Muhammed Zainal Abedin here, Propaganda galore by Islamists masquerading as sages by A.H. Jaffor Ullah

Mr. Zainal Abedin is a former student leader and a freedom fighter who crossed over to India in 1971 for military training, joined the Mujib Bahini and fought for the freedom of Bangladesh alongside the Indian Army. Mr Abedin holds a masters degree and a BEd.

A valiant writer and journalist. He was a freedom fighter in 1971.He is now working as a teacher of Social science in SOS Hermann Gmeiner College,Dhaka.he was a journalist of APP(Associated Press of Pakistan).He is the editor of Weekly EKALER KOTHA .

Mohammad Zainal Abedin Wrote the book RAW and Bangladesh and irked Indians and Indian dalal like A.H. Jaffor Ullah. A.H. Jaffor Ullah like a typical Indian trained parrot does not know who Mohammad Zainal Abedin is and his work. Yet using Indian paid time to foam his mouth with baseless attack.
As expected Indians are desperate to resale A.H. Jaffor Ullah written fundamentalist Indian script.

Have you been to india? specially parts bordering Bangladesh? Then you have no idea what abject poverty is. DO NOT pass judgement when you have little or no connection to Bangladesh and its people you commenting about. And get it through your understanding that just occational visit to a country does not mean connection.

When you claim there are mass illegal migration Bangladesh, be ready to provide proof. And we are waiting.

Yeah, you are right, I am not too well connected to the country

I have never been to India actually.

But then, I have said that those numbers seem extremely exaggerated. 20 million illegal Bangladeshis is like 1/8 of Bangladesh's entire population! Makes no sense.

I am yet to see any academic papers (not news sources) over this matter. So far, none of the Indians here provided that other than trolling/flame baiting.

You been to both Commilla and Sylhet but never been to Agartala and Gowahati. Agartala the state capital probably the half the size of our district town Comilla (Akhaora could be a better comparison). Gowahati is pretty big (not bigger than sylhet) but the highest skyscrapper they have is 6 storeyed whereas Sylhet has building 20 storyed high. Dont compare Comilla with Bombay. You have a way of looking down at yourself.
