Yes AIUDF Ajmal, the scent/perfume/itra merchant is a dangerous elemnt growing in Assam.. His vote base of illegal migrated population which got legalised thanks to COngress vote bank politics is a big threat to secular peaceful credentials of Assam. His views are always religion based and a bit radicalized.
Nagaon district is now always displayed by a MLA who has painted everything including highway hoardings with his Pictures and religious flags.. That part of Assam has seen max migrants moving in..
AIUDF is not a Shiv Sena a right wing hindu party but AIUDF ideology strives on communal division inside Assam

AGP lol.. don know.. they are trying hard but dont see them doing too well..

BJP can be a surprise this time.. Perhaps they may be the party who may get power by either single majority or may be a coalition with AGP

I asked regarding MMS bcz unfortunately i knew he is from Dispur RS seat and his contribution to Assam is negligible. I dont think the country folks even know that he had been re elected time and again from Assam so technically he is in RS bcz of Assam (not Punjab being a Sikh and a surname Singh and he does not speak assamese). Yet the amount of development and any new initiatives under his tenure for assam is unseen and unheard of...

BJP focus on Assam can be beneficial if they deliver the goods.. Unfortunately most netas once in seats of power just use machinery to fill personal accounts.. Corruption is a rampant issue in assam especially by politicians and govt servants.

Assam has a laid-back attitude. Even I'm skeptical for now because honestly speaking even Assam BJP lacks envisioned leadership. But then again Central-State BJP combo can be promising.

People with good intellect rarely take up politics in Assam. See the young student leaders of AASU, ABVP, NSUI. All of them can beat Arnab Goswami any day. :D

An excerpt from that article is chilling

At AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), the Ford Foundation and others gave money for the research, by determining the sex of the foetus: a female foetus could be aborted. A young doctor who worked at the AIIMS in the 1970s writes about one such experience that left him shaken. He saw a cat carrying off a freshly aborted foetus, blood dripping.Funding from the West had achieved wanton killing of foetuses in India on a massive scale.

++

In 1975 AIIMS, the country’s most prestigious medical school, unveiled India’s first amniocentesis tests at its govt teaching hospital.” Other hospitals quickly started offering the test. Doctors not only readily identfied the sex of the foetus, but also offered to abort if it was a female foetus. Several AIIMS doctors published papers “explaining the project as an experimental trial with potential to be introduced on a larger scale.”

++
When the British conducted the first census in the Indian colony (in the last quarter of the nineteenth century), they found a skewed gender ratio, even then.They looked to Hindu texts to explain this bias against the girl child but actually found thatHindu texts condemned the killing of foetuses, without exception. So much so that even John William Kaye, the East India Company historian, had to concede in his “curmudgeonly way”: “It is almost the one exceptional case of a barbarous custom that has not the sanction expressed or implied, by precept or example, of the monstrous faith [Hinduism] which these people profess.”
++

In a bid to keep the land within the family, and because British law forbade daughters from having property rights, the reasoning gravitated towards killing off daughters.

++
The three chief takeaways from this are:

First, the New Yorker piece is an extremely shoddy piece of journalism that should have been published in a Ford Foundation pamphlet at best, and certainly not in any self-respecting magazine.

Second, the role of the Ford Foundation and its culpability in perpetrating the mass abortion of female fetuses has never been fully investigated. If done so, it may well be one of the biggest crimes of the twentieth century.

Third, the rush to anoint western aid agencies as saviours of the Third World reeks of a neo-colonial racism that still seems rampant in much of western writing.

This might be related to Compulsory Sterilisation Programme
India's dark history of sterilisation - BBC News
I beleive compulsory sterilization was part of this program, from the article ..

"This period of funding happily coincided with the Emergency in the mid-1970s, when Sanjay Gandhi – the younger son of prime minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi – initiated a massive effort to sterilize men. By the time this gruesome period was over,”6.2 million Indian men had been sterilized in just one year—fifteen times the number of people sterilized by the Nazis.” [Emphasis added]

Mrs Indira Gandhi was awarded the United Nations Population Award – the first recipient of this award, in 1983."

India is very biased when it comes to girl child.. When a daughter is born in Assam you distribute sweets but when a son is born they distribute fish (fresh water preferably Rohu)
Well @Brahmaputra Mail can confirm it i guess..

Different parts of India has customs which made a girl child very depressing and acted as a trigger for female foeticide

Sad bu truly a chilling past of our country.. Dark history days i suppose..

You sir is blessed with options of beauty and spoilt for choices.:agree:

Too bad you got tied to the home long back :p:or else .. Well things could have been interesting..:woot:
 
.

So the reason why western countries sent their agents (who stooped to perform amniocentesis) was because they assumed a female child in a poor family leads to communism??
Atrocious!!!

Yes I read it.
I see dowry system as the root cause why a girl child is seen as a burden by the poor. I know it's not limited to the poor families these days.
You will notice that societies which are/were matriarchal have good men to women ratio.

Yessshhhh!!! :agree:
