India burning

I disagree with your position because it is based on the premise that culture/society never evolves. It does, and that is what people are afraid of, whether they are in the Northeast of India or Germany or Nigeria.

The correct response should be, cultures always get enriched by other cultures, and they should not fear "others". The concept of the nation state really added more fuel to the fire (than it needed), but emphasizing nationhood as something that was primary, and therefore its concept (read as culture/language etc), needed to be protected and maintained.

If you were to dig further into the history of the culture in the Northeast, they did evolve over time, perhaps not as rapidly, but they did. And with the advent of information (phone/internet/tv) these cultures will evolve further without even the existence of other cultures within their midst.
Positive change is a good thing, but that's not what poor migrants being.

Their societies are generally more progressive than most Indian states, and Bangladesh.
I find their demand of not allowing outsiders quite reasonable.
The highlighted part is not at all true, friend. No one in my state is against Indians of any ethnicity, we are a multicultural state. Some of my best friends in med college were from North and South India. Every Indian citizen is welcomed to the North East India as we are outside of our region. Our struggle is only against the illegal aliens from Bangladesh, especially the miyas who spread filth and crime and contribute nothing towards nation building.

I have once told you that the singer, Nahid Afrin, has said that when she was participating in Indian Idol Junior, some Assamese called her a "Miya", though she is as Assamese as you.

I want to make a point to the readers of PDF that I don't intend to insult Bangladeshis by using the term "Miya". I only want to present what some people said.

Nonsense...this was not a pogrom...this article is one sided...these are riots in which both sides attacked each other...the most chilling murder in these riots was that of an IB officer called ankit sharma..acid was poured on his injuries..his body was cut...his eyes were gouged and acid was poured in his sockets...out of 48 members dead, 28 were hindus

And i wil tell you now what i reiterated back then, that she was hounded by the illegal Bangladeshi miya mullahs first for her singing talent. She was appreciated by us Assamese who chose to take a stand against the despicable mullahs.

1. The mullahs who hounded her were Assamese.

2. She did say that she was facing opposition from two sides - one from the mullahs and one from some Hindu Assamese. I clearly remember this.

Lol, she faced threats from her own kind-the Bangladeshi miya extremists who want their womenfolk covered in black drapes and confined to their home. They are against women coming out for modern scientific education, jobs, and cultural activities like singing and dancing. These are the kinds of Bangladeshis we want out of India.

Indian Idol Singer Nahid Afrin Overcomes Muslim ‘Diktat’ In Assam
-------------++++++----++++----------

The few Assamese Hindus who objected was because they thought Nahid should have appealed for help for her state Assam when it was reeling under seasonal floods.

That is relative. What may be positive change for you, may be negative for someone else.

You just appreciated her because it gave you a chance to beat up upon Mullahs and "miyas" as you say. Once done, she will become another "illegal bangladeshi" for you.

Kinda the same way that you use Kashmiri Pandits. You don't really care about them. You just use them as a stick to beat up the Kashmiri Muslims.

And what happens to liberal freethinkers over here ??

Let us remember Govind Pansare, Narendra Dabholkar, M.M.Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh who were all assassinated by Sangh people.

And those who were not assassinated were harassed by other means, like the late Rohith Vemula ( forced to commit suicide ) or Kanhaiya Kumar ( charged with "Sedition" and harassed by legal means ).

That these two deaths have not forced Hindutva to do soul searching is deeply worrying for me.....These two deaths should have ushered in the Indian Enlightenment (no not the spiritual kind we had enough of that 2,500 years back).........but alas a man can only dream...

There is a danger that this civil war will be exported outside of India thanks to massive Indian diaspora.

BJP is finished as a party. It will now lose a large moderate hindu vote bank.

Your figures are incorrect. Indian Express has given names and out of 36 dead , 24 were muslims. So not possible to reach your figures.
