ULFA is hardly 'popular'...Now when did I say immigration does not happen?It does happen albeit at a reduced pace than it will be if ILP systems were done away with.As I said,people do come here and make their fortune,and those who make it big enough stay here although they do use their ever expanding wealth back in their homes in mainland India too.Now when the unskilled mass migrants come,it threatens their culture and identity,so the locals start producing more kids.
Something like this can be observed in Assam's history.Mind you Assam is the largest in gdp terms and used to be even more prosperous back in the days when compared to her other sister states of north east.It is like the heart of north east,all trade and administration is carried out through it.So vital is Assam's position in north east that,a blockage in Assam means the other sister states being cut off almost completely from the out side world.
It did not have an ILP system and this lead to migrants of all calibres migrating to it.From mainland and other north east states as well.But as the population and population density increased,the competition for resources increased,leading to friction between different groups.One can see it very well in the rise of ULFA and various other groups in the past century which had an anti-indian stand and grew popular due to its opposition and attack on immigrants.
The natives also increased their numbers in response to migrants,This led to the population burgeoning to the extent that Assam began encroaching on other states' area,especially on the erstwhile NEFA now Arunachal Pradesh.
Being overpopulated its economy stagnated and its people grew poorer,the bangladeshi immigation then further weighed it down and now Assam is at a state where it has the one of the lowest GDP per capita of north east states.
Incidentally,other states which have followed a more isolationist policy are reaping rewards with the gdp per capita now higher than the average nationwide.These states mainly had skilled traders and entrepreneurs come in with controlled number of low skilled labour because the locals were not willing to work at the rates offered.
Quite interestingly,the most isolated state from the Indian union,the Arunachal Pradesh,neglected by everyone and with an ILP system in place is the most peaceful and patriotic state with no home-grown insurgency.The people in AP are least interested in secession,unlike their counterparts in the other sister states.What do you think makes it so?
The answer is the natives didn't feel threatened by migration.They felt confident that their culture and identity not to forget economic future faced no danger from the mainland.In a strange way,quite contrary to what a mainlander nationalist may think,giving the state and its people separation from the mainland actually help cement the bond with the union.That is a significant phenomena,when one considers that AP never was a part of India anytime in history and astonishingly is separate from the rest of north east.
Assam is filled with bangladeshis...less with 'mainlanders'...and we need to kick bangaldeshis out...we all want them out.
What will you say about himachal and uttarakhand,or sikkim.Arunachal is hindu majority I think.And was not much in contact with rest of civilization until independence(expect tawang)unlike other northeast states.So its easy for them to accept the national identity .
