New Delhi: Ninety per cent of Indians are "idiots" who can easily be misled by mischievous elements in the name of religion, Press Council of India (PCI) chairperson Justice Markandey Katju claimed on Saturday. "I say ninety per cent of Indians are idiots. You people don't have brains in your heads....It is so easy to take you for a ride," he said at a seminar in New Delhi.
He said that a communal riot could be incited in Delhi for as meagre an amount as Rs 2,000. He said that all somebody has to do is make a mischievous gesture of disrespect to a place of worship and people start fighting each other. "You mad people will start fighting amongst yourself not realising that some agent provocateur is behind this," he said.
Katju said that before 1857 there was no communalism in the country but the situation was different now. "Today 80 per cent Hindus are communal and 80 per cent Muslims are communal. This is the harsh truth, bitter truth that I am telling you. How is it that in 150 years you have gone backwards instead of moving forward because the English kept injecting poison," Katju said.Justice (Retd) Markandey Katju said that a communal riot could be incited in Delhi for as meagre an amount as Rs 2,000.
90 per cent Indians are idiots, can be easily fooled: Markandey Katju
"The policy that emanated from London after the mutiny in 1857 that there is only one way to control this country that is to make Hindus and Muslims fight each other," he said. He said that then there was a propaganda that Hindi was the language of Hindus and Urdu of Muslims. "Our ancestors also studied Urdu, but it is so easy to fool you. You are idiots so how difficult is it to make an idiot of you," Katju said.
Katju said that he was saying these harsh things to make Indians, whom he loved, to understand the whole game and not remain fools.

Narendra modi is trying to hide real face behind the propaganda development of Gujarat



Narendra modi ,CM of Gujarat is trying to hide real face behind the propaganda development of Gujarat and propaganda nationalism of India. He is trying to established that he is only key maker of Gujarat with a desire of  future PM  of  India.

need for an effective and balanced Communal Violence Bill.


We continue to feed our communal fires
Ram Puniyani advocates a stronger communal violence bill to address recurring tensions

THE FREQUENT incidents of communal violence in different parts of the country over the past two months have been very disturbing to say the least. In Uttar Pradesh in particular, incidents of communal violence were reported from Mathura, Pratapgarh, Bareilly, Meerut, Allahabad and Lucknow ever since Samajwadi Party took office in March 2012. The tragic events in Faizabad are the latest in the series.
On 24 October, a girl was molested by some miscreants during a Durga idol immersion procession. A few people started pelting stones in protest. Believing that the protestors were Muslims, a mob went on a rampage burning nearly 25 shops of Muslim traders and destroying a mosque as well the office of Aap Ki Takat, a bilingual (Urdu and Hindi) daily that opposes communal politics. Manzar Mehdi, the editor of the paper, sees the incident as an attempt to silence the voice of peace. Local activist Yugal Kishore Sharan Shastri calls it a pre-planned attack, alleging that the police took long time to reach the spot and did not intervene effectively. The fire brigade also took four hours to reach, by when the shops were totally gutted.
In distant Assam, another round of violence between the Bodos and Muslims resulted in the death of six people, and it was feared that there may be a recurrence of the tragic incidents of July, when 60 people were killed and nearly four lakh, mainly Muslims, were displaced. Assam violence seemed like a plan to get the Muslims out of Bodo areas. The rehabilitation by the state government too is alleged to be discriminatory since it has left out a large number of Muslims for lack of proper records. This spate of violence was based on false propaganda that Muslims are infiltrators from Bangladesh and have been encroaching the lands of Bodos and the police largely remained an onlooker while it occurred. A lot has been written to dispel the myth that Muslims have been coming to Assam from Bengal since the 18th century due to the British policy of achieving a population balance between the two states. But so deep-rooted are the perceptions that communal forces have taken full advantage of these to their end.
The third incident is from Andhra, where the historic monument of Charminar is being vandalised to renovate the adjoining Bhagyalaxmi temple, in violation of the Archaeological Survey of India norms. The ASI plea that the changes in temple threaten to damage the Minar has fallen on deaf years. The state government is allowing changes to the Charminar much to the annoyance of the old city resident. There have been minor skirmishes in which many a people have been injured and the area even remained under curfew.
THESE THREE incidents are very typical of the simmering tensions that are fanned by communal forces to gradually turn them into communal riots. In Hyderabad one sees the use of historical places to incite the communal tension. How systematically communal forces built up the Ram Temple campaign leading to demolition of Babri Masjid is a sad reminder to what can happen in Hyderabad. In Faizabad, it is clear that the police machinery was totally disinterested in controlling the violence even if it could have. It either helped the rioters or looked the other way when the violence took place. Could it be that these communal forces are beyond the control of the state’s SP government or does the SP see a political benefit in letting violence happen?
Acts of violence go on because the multiple factors behind them remain unaddressed. Social activists and scholars have pointed out the role of communal forces, state machinery, ‘social common sense’ targeted against minorities as a major reason for communal violence. Addressing these factors only mandates the need for an effective and balanced Communal Violence Bill. No democracy can be satisfactory unless it minorities are safe and secure and have equity in economic matters.

Selling dream


Modi is offering a lollypop to the people


Modi unveils BJP manifesto for Gujarat polls
Says the manifesto is ‘inclusive, and for all’; Congress hits back citing Tehelka’s investigation on KG Basin gas field

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Monday released BJP’s election manifesto, ‘Sankalp Patra’ in Ahmedabad for the poll-bound state. “It is a blueprint which is extensive, inclusive and for development of all, including the poor, “declared Modi after unveiling the manifesto. The event was attended by several senior BJP leaders including Arun Jaitley, the leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.
Pointing out that the manifesto ensures youth-led development and not just youth development, Modi said that he has taken special care regarding the neo middle class that has emerged in the state over the years. “Because of the developments in Gujarat in past 10 years, a neo middle class has emerged. We will bring out a new definition for them and ensure that they are included in government schemes,” he said.
Key features of the document included the ‘SAUNI Yojana,’ which will help waters of Narmadha reach Saurashtra region, and construction of 50 lakh cheap houses, a 3 percent subsidy on co-operative based agricultural loans and generation of more than 30 lakh jobs with a new portal on placements.
In the area of power generation and electricity, solar power was the key aspect that was dealt with. In addition to developing roof top solar generation, the BJP has promised to develop other unconventional energy sources such as wind energy. The manifesto also promised to double the state’s power generation in next five years.
Promising that an additional 16 lakh hectare area of land will be covered under the irrigation, the manifesto also guaranteed a Rs 40,000 crore project for the development of tribal farmers and constituting a Lake and Wetlands authority.
With a number of health packages providing health benefits to a wide variety of people, the manifesto also aims at constructing medical colleges at every major district including tribal regions.
Reacting to the manifesto, Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia said, “It’s a mockery of the citizens of Gujarat. In last 17 years, the government has stopped all the schemes for affordable housing. Not a single affordable house has been constructed during Modi’s tenure. He is offering a lollypop to the people after the Congress’ housing promise became popular.”
Meanwhile in New Delhi, Manish Tewari, the Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, raised questions about the TEHELKA investigation about KG Basin gas field published recently. “Some very important questions arise out of this. Who is this GeoGlobal and why was it given 10 percent in a gas field valued by the government for $20 billion? Why was the five percent shares transferred to a Mauritius company...Why were the six crore people of Gujarat made to bear the exploration cost which should had been paid by the GeoGlobal…These are important questions and we would humbly like the CM of Gujarat to reply to these.” he said.

Fascism alive in Gujarat: Arundhati Roy


Fascism alive in Gujarat: Arundhati Roy

The Indian author Arundhati Roy speaks at the Sharjah International Book Fair. Duncan Chard for the National.


Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy  has said that 'fascism is alive and well and living in Gujarat'.
"Gujarat, the only major state in India with a government headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party , has for some years been the petri dish in which Hindu fascism has been fomenting an elaborate political experiment and in spring of 2002, the initial results were put on public display," Roy wrote in the inaugural issue of the Indobrit, a quarterly magazine launched in London  on Tuesday night.
"We still don't know who was responsible for the carnage in Godhra, but every independent report says the pogrom against the Muslim community in Gujarat has at best been conducted under the benign gaze of the State and, at worst, with active State collusion. Either way the State is criminally culpable," she said.
Roy, who has been highly critical of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, said, "Whipping up communal hatred is part of the mandate of the Sangh Parivar. It has been planned for years.
"Hundreds of RSS shakhas across the country have been indoctrinating thousands of children and young people, stunting their minds with religious hatred and falsified history, including non-factual or wildly exaggerated accounts of the rape and pillaging of Hindu women and Hindu temples by Muslim rulers in the pre-colonial period.
"In states like Gujarat, the police, the administration, and the political cadres at every level have been systematically penetrated. It has huge popular appeal, which it would be foolish to underestimate or misunderstand. The whole enterprise has a formidable religious, ideological, political and administrative underpinning. This kind of power, this kind of reach, can only be achieved with State backing," Roy said.
Stating that `fascism's firm footprint has appeared in India', she said: "Fascism is about the slow, steady infiltration of all the instruments of State power. It's about the slow erosion of civil liberties, about unspectacular day-to-day injustices.
"Fighting it does not mean asking for RSS shakhas and madrassas, which are overtly communal, to be banned. It means working towards the day when they're voluntarily abandoned as bad ideas. It means keeping an eagle eye on public institutions and demanding accountability."
Most people in India have been horrified by what happened in Gujarat, she said, adding, "many thousands of the indoctrinated are preparing to journey deeper into the heart of the horror."
She said historically, fascist movements have been fuelled by feelings of national disillusionment. "Fascism has come to India after the dreams that fuelled the freedom struggle have been frittered away like so much loose change. Independence itself came to us as what Gandhi famously called a 'wooden loaf' -- a notional freedom tainted by the blood of the thousands who died during Partition.
"For more than half a century now, that heritage of hatred and mutual distrust has been exacerbated, toyed with, and never allowed to heal by politicians. Over the past 50 years, ordinary citizens' modest hopes for lives of dignity, security and relief from abject poverty have been systematically snuffed out.
"Every 'democratic' institution in the country has shown itself to be unaccountable, inaccessible to the ordinary citizen, and either unwilling or incapable of acting in the interests of genuine social justice. And now corporate globalisation is being relentlessly and arbitrarily imposed on India, ripping it apart culturally and economically," she said.

How should India start combating female gendercide?


How should India start combating female gendercide?

Lvb

In India there is no government organization limiting the number of children a family can have. So why have 50 million girls over the past three generations been victims of female infanticide, feticide, and brutal dowry murders? There are many reasons. Daughters require a sizable financial dowry in order to marry that many families simply cannot afford. The giving and taking of dowries was made illegal in 1961, punishable with up to 5 years imprisonment and sizeable fines. Yet many families continue to uphold the tradition.
Additionally, Indians are aborting females at a much higher rate than male children. To prevent families from terminating female fetuses once they find out the child's gender, India passed a law in 1994 prohibiting the use of ultrasound tests for sex determination. But sadly, these practices are common in hospitals and medical clinics across India today. One will often see advertisements for ultrasound clinics urging couples to spend "500 rupees today to save 50,000 rupees tomorrow" (the cost of the procedure compared to the average price of a dowry).
This is a really very bad social culture among the Indian society. There are many misconception persist in the society.Dowry is the important factor for female infanticide.India needs social awareness among the society. Social organisations and political parties should be serious to create public awareness to increase the value of the girls in society.Government must be serious to prevent it and take urgent action sincerely
poverty is the most important cause for female infanticide.The poverty in India isn't just social poverty. The poverty in India isn't just religious and cultural poverty. The poverty in India is an absolute poverty. The poverty in India involves poverty in every aspect of life.But most of the political leaders and organisations are not interested about social and cultural poverty. It seems that they become deaf and dumb! They only interested about dirty politics and communal politics. India is the great!
      Ensure hospitals and doctors uphold the law against sex determination tests (preventing parents from knowing the sex of the fetus)

      Create a rapid action task force to arrest those who engage in violence against women

      Better enforce laws against giving and receiving dowries when women marry

      Create a public awareness campaign to increase the perceived value of girls in society

2G loss figure presumptive: Corruption in Corruption

2G loss figure presumptive, MM Joshi influenced report: Ex-CAG officer


New Delhi: CAG's ex-principal auditor RP Singh on Friday made startling revelations about the agency's 2G report saying that it was audited without guidelines and influenced by Public Accounts Committee Chairman Murli Manohar Joshi. In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN, Singh further stated that the loss figure of Rs 1.76 lakh crore was presumptive, which he had deleted from the draft report but which was restored in the final copy.
Singh disowned the report saying it was not his and that he was merely asked to sign on it. He further asked that leaks by the office of the CAG be investigated.
"This loss figure (of Rs 1.76 lakh crore) did appear before me in a draft audit report submitted by my field office. I carried out discussion with them. I asked for the supporting documents, on what basis they are saying these are the losses. They said, 'we are taking it as presumption'. I said in performance audit there is nothing called presumption loss. So I deleted this figure and while forwarding my version of report, I clearly mentioned why I am deleting these figures. It seems that at the time of examination in CAG office, these loss figures were restored," said Singh.
Reacting to the news, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said, "This matter will be discussed in Parliament today. Many members have called me that they want an inverstigation. It's a serious matter. What conpiracy is on in CAG they say."
Congress leader PL Punia said, "It proves and shows that BJP can go to any level for their political benefit. They misuse a constitutional body for their political benefit. This is also condemnable that they force members of CAG and misuse them. I think this should be investigated by a Supreme Court judge and truth should come before people of the nation."
Outspoken Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh remarked, "Once again what I said has come correct, for that reason now the government wants to audit it. This is a very serious issue that the person who audits it, his report has been exaggerated and presented. As far as I know, 2G has already been audited. Now he has come out very categorically that he was forced to do so. This is a very serious charge against one of the most experienced and senior member, Murli Manohar Joshi. He should come out with clarification. I wonder, how are these drafts being leaked to the media first before Parliament. I am trying to find out that how many times the media has got this report before the government did."

Modi myth and the reality in Gujarat




     
It is claimed by supporters of Narendra  Modi,CM of Gujarat that Modi is the best political leader. He can only save India and best candidate of future PM of India. Is it true or hitech propaganda ? What he did for Gujarat and what is the present situation in Gujarat?

Number of poor in Gujarat jumps by 39.06% in 12 years
The number of poor families in Gujarat’s villages have risen by at least 30 per cent over the last decade, going by the state government’s own data.
In April 2000, there were 23.29 lakh Below Poverty Line (BPL) families in the villages. The number rose to 30.49 lakh as on June 26, 2012, as per the “dynamic list” which the state rural development commissioner’s office constantly updates.
According to the list, which is based on a survey of 78.06 lakh families living in villages, the increase in the number of poor families in villages was 39.06% in percentage terms.
Rehabilitation does not absolve Narendra Modi's  govt of 2002 Gujarat riots :UK paper
London: A leading British daily on Tuesday suggested that Britain and other countries, who have decided to engage with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, should "make it clear that rehabilitation is not licence for the type of supremacist inspired nationalism that fuelled the 2002 massacres".
The state-wise per capita GDP growth rates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... A simple reading of that table is enough to make one skeptical of Modi's claims. Let us look at the GSDP growth rates for Gujarat (as per that table) as compared to that of India and of other states:
Period=====GSDP Growth Rate=====Rank
('04-06)======17.9 (12.3)===========3

World Under Terrorism



Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being. 
Mahatma Gandhi
All forms of violence are terrorism".  Striking terror, or putting people in a state of terror is equivalent to terrorism.Which acts of violence can be categorized as terrorism?  And which are not?  If you are put in a state of terror, does it mean whoever put you in such position is a terrorist? If that's the case, then armed robbers are all "terrorists", because they keep you in a state of terror, either in the night or in the day or along the highway, but (as we have it today) they are not called terrorists.
Now, when you have a political party, which adopts a way of striking terror either by kidnapping, sexual assault, bombing, striking or any form in order to intimidate the government to succumb to their demands, they are terrorists.And it was used to refer to some specifically political entities or political organizations, that used violence in other to achieve their aims.
 Some  peoples  have defined terrorism in their own way for their own interest.A lot of countries also have defined terrorism in their own way.

STOP TERRORISM SAVE LIFE
TERRORISM RESERVE FOR MUSLIMS!

POLICE AND COMMUNAL VIOLENCE


POLICE AND COMMUNAL VIOLENCE
Asghar Ali Engineer

It seems quite a stale topic as we know how police behaves during communal disturbances or even before and after that. Recently Prime Minister of the country also expressed serious concern about increasing incidents of communal violence in the country during his inaugural address to one-day conference of Directors General and Inspectors General in Delhi along with intelligence officers. The Prime Minister of the country expresses concern and draws their attention to a problem it could be nothing but very serious indeed.

For first four months almost no communal disturbances took place and I was feeling happy that after all this year may turn out to be my dream year i.e. riot-free year. However, my dream was shattered when series of riots began to take place in U.P. and elsewhere, especially after Mulayamsingh’s S.P. was elected to power. It once again proved that riots are politically motivated and has nothing to do with religion. But for sure religious prejudices are spread for political purposes.

Police has to play very crucial role from intelligence gathering to arrest the culprits before they can do harm to quash the riots once they break out to take effective legal steps to punish them so that they do not dare do again. Apart from my experiences with handling of riots by the police in last several decades, the role of police in disturbances this year until now has been not a wee bit different.

What was surprising was that even U.P. police has not changed wee bit despite change of regime in U.P. One expected that under Mulayamsingh regime which came to power mainly because of Muslim support that he will make police behave. However, I was in for great disappointment. The police behaviour, if Mulayamsingh had done at all anything to change it, was quite defiant and it openly helped the rioters. It appeared as if it was a conspiracy to discredit Mulayamsingh immediately after his election to power.

I reached one more conclusion that whatever the regime the police behaves in the same manner. They have been too strongly indoctrinated to change their mind under comparatively more secular regime. But them one can point to Bihar and West Bengal as both the states under Lalu Prasad Yadav and Jyoti Basu and then Bhattacharjya managed to have only few minor riots in last 15 and 30 years respectively. Bihar and West Bengal are still continuing with the same tradition even now under Nitish Kumar and Mamta Banerjee respectively.

May be Mulayamsingh Yadav does not have strong and charismatic personality like chief ministers of Bihar and West Bengal. It requires very detailed study to reach any definite conclusion. What can be said tentatively is that the police submit to only strong Chief Minister who does not use them for his political purpose. And goes by certain principles and sends correct message to them.

It is also important to understand that whether entire police force from top to bottom has been communalized or at the bottom and middle rung only? Once, during a discussion in the National Police Academy, Hyderabad, I expressed an opinion that those at the top rung are less communal and casteist than those at the middle and bottom rung. A top IPS officer who had come to the Academy, like me to deliver a lecture, strongly disagreed with me and maintained that top officers are anytime worse than those sat the bottom or middle rung. I simply said you are an IPS officer so you know better.

But my experience shows it is a mixed bag. There are very secular officers at the top as there are rank communal ones. The Gujarat is the best example for both. There were IPS officers who bended their knees before Chief Minister and carried out all his orders and also those who took a stand and defied him and remained defiant despite tremendous pressures. I have shared platform with the later ones in certain places.

It is not that they were Dalit officers, they were both from high caste (even Brahmins) and those from lower castes. Also, I know of two brothers, both from top castes and of the rank of Director-General of Police, have been, I would say, exemplary secular in their attitudes and have remained consistent throughout their career and showed exemplary courage in handling riot situations.

Well, one may argue they may be an exception and I have nothing to counter this argument. But I have seen more officers of the kind. In one of the workshops at National Police Academy, Hyderabad wherein IPS trainees from all over India were taking part, three batches were required to present case study of riots and role of police. I and Prof.Ram Puniyani were on panel of judges. Their presentation was so excellent that I told Ram jokingly – let us now take retirement as these young officers are so secular already and don’t need any further training.

This is true but unfortunately is not the whole truth. Anytime it would remain a partial truth. For every secular officer, there are several communal officers at all the levels of the force. Their casteist and communal prejudices become quite raw. I have seen and experienced these raw prejudices especially during Bombay riots of 1992-93 and also in Meerut (1987) Gujarat (1985, 2002) and Bombay-Bhivandi riots (1984).

This, I must confess, was at lower levels but it was not very different at the top also, again with some honorable exceptions. This was more due to the fact that most of the policemen (especially at lower levels) as they all read Marathi Samna everyday and spoke that very language about Muslims. Who could dare take action against Samna for writing such provocative language?

What was the stuff of the Chief Minister Mr. Nayak? When a delegation of eminent citizens from Mumbai met him urging him to control riots he asked these citizens to meet Bal Thackeray as he was provoking riots. In other words Mr. Nayak had surrendered his functions to Shivsena Supremeo. How can such a weak Chief Minister ever control riots? And shamefully especially in Maharshtra (elsewhere too) those police officers who failed to control riots and were subsequently reprimanded by Commissions of Inquiry, were promoted, rather than punished.

For example, the then SP Police during Bhivandi-Jalgaon riots of 1970 was reprimanded by Madon Commission for false arrests and let go the real culprits was promoted instead of punished and ended up as Director General of Police of Maharashtra. Another example that comes to mind is that of Joint Commissioner of Police Mumbai who shot dead 8 madrasa students saying they were rioters and was severely reprimanded by Srikrishna Commission was promoted as Commissioner of Mumbai during Shiv Sena regime. An arrest warrant was issued against him after his retirement but got admitted into hospital on pretext of having heart attack and managed to obtain bail from the Court. Thus he never went to jail even for a day.

Many more examples could be multiplied. And recently one got the opposite example of a CP, Mumbai punished for handling riot situation in an exemplary manner. Mr. Patnaik deserved kudos for handling a rally of 50,000 people in most peaceful manner. Instead of rewarding him, under pressure from Raj Thakre of MNS who also took out rally of 45,000 people to demand action against Patnaik and R.R.Patil, Home Minister of Maharashtra, removed him (Mr.Patnaik) and posted him as Director General of Road Transport, a post where one can do nothing. R.R.Patil, however, saved his neck.

Mr. Raj Thakre who, so far consolidated his position by keeping quiet on Muslim question and even supporting them, has, in view of 2014 elections, have opted for Hindutva card and hence took out huge rally, investing a lot in it and has killed two birds with a stone – came closer to main Shiv Sena (may be with a view to form an alliance in 2014) and also increased his clout in Maharashtra politics (even if he goes with the Congress) But in this political game an exemplary officer like Patnaik who handles a very serious situation so well, has been sacrificed.

That is why I hear many police officers saying during my workshops that what can we do, we are a pawn on political chessboard. It is true in many cases, even in case of Gujarat where many good officers tried to resist pressure but did not succeed, but it is not always true. Police officers have inbuilt deeper prejudices. For that not only school syllabuses but also police training courses have to be drastically changed and policemen given high pressure secular indoctrination and much more.

Also, what is needed is the judgment of the type of Naroda Patiya in Ahmedabad wherein a cabinet rank minister was given 28 years in prison for provoking communal riots violating secular Indian Constitution. This will discourage these politicians from cheap way of getting elected by playing with raw communal passions of their constituents. We must salute the courage of Justice Jyotsna Yagnik.

Situation in India Today


BODOLAND : THE KILLING FIELD






BODOLAND : THE KILLING FIELD
Santosh Rana

Santosh Rana was a leading member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) [CPI-ML] formed under the leadership of late Charu Mazumdar. He left CPI-ML in 1971 and constituted PCC CPI-ML in 971. He  contesting as an independent, won the Gopiballavpur seat in West Bengal in 1977. Below he presents a detailed history of BODO people who are recently targeted by Assamese chauvinists.

The demand for Bodoland was first raised in 1980 after the Assamese chauvinists represented by the Asom Gana Parishad came to power. In the far distant past, Bodos came from Tibet to settle in Assam and North Bengal. But in North Bengal, they are fewer in number and known as ‘mechs’. The rule of scheduling of tribes in Assam is a peculiar one. Tribes like Bodo, Rava and Missing, who live in the plains of the Bramha-putra valley, are scheduled as plain tribes. But the Bodos living in the southern hilly region are unscheduled. Again, the Korbis living in the hills are scheduled as hill tribes, but the Korbis living in the plains have not got this recognition although they are larger in number. On the other hand, the people belonging to the communities like Santal, Munda, Oraon, Ho, Mahali, Birhor etc, who constitute about 20 percent of the Assamese population, are recognized as scheduled tribes in India as a whole, but not in Assam. The language of the Bodos was a spoken language belonging to the Tibeto-Burman group. In the 1960s, the Bodo Sahitya Sabha ( Bodo Literary Society) was formed and a language movement started. The Congress Governments of Assam and Delhi, who understood only the language of sticks and guns, brutally suppressed the movement. In 1974, the language agitators were fired upon in Kokrajhar and more than one hundred Bodos were killed. Now the language of the Bodos is recognized as state language in Assam and books have been written in the Bodo language for education at the school and college levels.

In the whole of Assam, the number of Bodo population is 1.5 million, about 6 percent of the total population. In the four districts comprising the Bodo Territorial Council (BTC), the density of the Bodo population is greater. The Bodos, Ravas and other plain tribes together constitute about 30 percent of the population. Other communities living in the area are the Santals and other Jharkhandis, Bengali Hindus, Bengali Muslims, some Nepalese and Coch-Rajbangsis. According to an official report, of the total population of 1.05 million in the BTC area, the plain tribes are about 300 thousands, the Bengali Muslims 236 thousands, the Jharkhandis 186 thousands, the Coch-Rajbangshis 165 thousands and the Nepalese and Bengali Hindus 133 thousands. In truth the number of Bodos has been somewhat inflated in this report. But even if the figures are considered correct, it is clear that the Bodos are a minority in the BTC area. Yet when the BTC was constituted in 2003, the majority of the seats in the Council was reserved for the plain tribes. The upshot has been a rule of the minority over the majority.

This fact is too well known to the Bodo leaders. They want to be the masters of such an area where the Bodos would be a majority, or at least their hegemony would be recognized. Attaining this objective would require attacks on other communities including riots and mass killings. Ever since the Bodo movement was launched, six such large-scale riots have taken place. The figures of human beings killed in these riots are:

Year No. of People Killed
1993 61
1994 113
1996 198
1998 186
2012 (July-August) 100

It should be pointed out that in the killing spree of 1996, the actual number of deaths was more than 300, although the official figure was 198. Besides, 200 thousand persons were ousted from their homes, and half of them have not yet been able to return.

Towards the close of the 1980s, the Bodo movement started with the demand “Divide Assam 50-50″. It was led by two groups National Democratic Front (NDF)of Bodoland and the Bodo Liberation Tigers(BLT). The former was in league with the various extremist groups of the north-east including the ULFA, while the latter had regular contacts with the Indian state, which supplied them with arms and trained them. Besides engaging in mutual armed clashes, these two armed outfits used to launch attacks on other communities including the Jharkhandis and Muslims.

The allegation of the Bodo outfits is that they have become minorities in their homeland and that this is the consequence of large-scale immigration from Bangladesh. In a press interview, Mr Hagrma Mohilari, the Chairman of the BTC, has argued that the only way to a permanent solution is to expel illegal immigrants and to take measures against them (Times of India, 25 August, 2012). Asked about the number of illegal immigrants, another Bodo leader and ex-MP, Urkhao Gouda Bramma, answered that he was incapable of producing the number and added that the Assam State Government too was incapable of telling how many illegal immigrants were there (Times of India, 26 August). The fact is that the propaganda campaign of the Assamese chauvinists, Bodo extremists and their all-India patron, the BJP regarding illegal immigration has very little truth. Among the communities living in the BTC area, the Coch-Rajbangshis can by no means be called outsiders, because they came to Assam and North Bengal even before the Bodos, and went through a long and complicated process of Sanskritization. As a matter of fact, the extensive region from Purnea to Karnrup was under the Koch kings whose capital was the town of Coochbihar. Among the other communities that settled in the district of Kokrajhar, Santals came after the Santal Rebellion of 1855. The British rulers brought about 100 thousand Santals from the Santal Parganas and settled them in the agency area on the edge of the Samkosh river in the border region between Bengal and Assam. In this agency area, known as Simultala Agency, the Santals, who were efficient in settled cultivation, cleared forests and prepared lands. By 1858, British planters set up tea gardens in Assam, and brought workers from the Jharkhand region as serf-labourers. These tea garden workers, brought chiefly from Ranchi and neighbouring areas, were from Munda, Oraon, Mahali and other Jharkhandi groups. Tea gardens, were first set up in upper Assam, and when subsequently, such gardens were built up in lower Assam, Jharkhandi settlements grew up in these areas too. Since the volume of employment provided by the teas gardens was not enough, one section of the Jharkhandi people tokk up cultivation as their occupation. Taken as a whole, it is the Santals who constitute the largest Jharkhandi group in Kokrajhar. The history of migration of Bengali-speaking Muslims into Assam is also long. Large tracts of land of the Brahmmaputra valley used to remain uncultivated. After the annexation of Assam, the Mughal army, led by Man Singh, did not set up any camp there, because the revenue of the region was too insufficient to cover the costs. Todarmal characterized that region as a ‘non-revenue’ one. It was the British rulers who first transformed the vast tracts of the Brammaputra valley into a surplus revenue region. They discovered that the cultivators of Mymensingh and neighbouring districts were familiar with the technique of tilling land below water-level. They conducted a propaganda campaign in the villages of Mymensingh that anybody willing to migrate to Assam would get as much land as he liked, and besides, would receive a pair of bullocks and five rupees in cash. Thus Bengali Muslims began to come to Assam since the mid-nineteenth century. But it was in the first half of the twentieth century, roughly from 1901 to 1941, that large-scale migration took place.

At first, Assamese satra (monastary)-owners, landlords and the middle-classes welcomed the immigration from Bengal, because these immigrants, by cultivating fallow lands, were helping to increase the revenue, and were serving as a source of cheap labour. But the Assamese population felt concerned after their number went up largely. Under these circumstances, the British Government introduced a ‘line system’, in 1920, according to which an imaginary line of demarcation was drawn for segregation of the immigrant-dominated areas. The plan was to create a wall separating the immigrants from the Assamese society. Maulana Bhasani’s movement against this system has remained famous in history. The British Government of India brought Bengali Muslims to Assam and succeeded in enhancing amount of land revenue. On the other hand, they were trying to sharpen the contradiction between the Assamese population and the immigrants. In 1931, T S Mulan, the then Census Commissioner of Assam wrote that the immigrants have almost conquered Nagaon, have invaded the Barpeta subdivision of the Kamrup district and Darang is going to be invaded. He also commented that several thousands of persons of Mymensingh had already entered the district of Lakhimpur. The Commissioner compared these people with vultures rushing to putrescent corpses, because wherever there was fallow land they were jumping on it.

the eyes of the English bureaucrat, the immigrants were vultures and invaders. In an editorial of the Assam Herald, it was written, “Muslims of Assam are stunned to see that in such a dangerous moment, the gallant Congress ministers of Assam are out to prove their chivalry by torturing the helpless elements, thousands of whom had already been served with notice to quit. It may be that they would not leave their hearths and homes without resistance and any amount of torture on these ill-fated people may lead to serious communal tensions all over the province.” (Assam Herald, 16 November, 1946)

The purpose of the foregoing is to show that the problem of immigrant Muslims in Assam is not a recent phenomenon. Even before the partition of the country or the creation of Bangladesh, a large number of Bengali speaking Muslims were living in Assam. Among the 50 districts of India in which the density of the Muslim population is larger, 10 are in Assam. These districts are: Dhubri (74.3%), Barpeta (59.4%), Hailakandi (57.6%), Goalpara (53.7%), Karimganj (52.3%), Nagaon (51%), Marigaon (47.6%), Bangaigaon (38.5%), Kachar (36.1 %) and Darang (35.5%). At the time of partition, these were parts of some large districts, namely Goalpara, Barpeta, Kachar, Nagaon and Darang. Already by 1941, Muslims became a majority or near-majority in these districts. In the 1980s, the All-Assam Students’ Union(AASU), for justifying its campaign of ‘driving out infiltrators’, claimed that there were 5 million Bangladeshi infiltrators in Assam . But at that time, the total Muslim population of Assam was 4.774 million. The leaders of AASU later formed the Asom Gana Parishad and ruled the province for as long as ten years, but during those years, they could not identify even five thousand persons, let alone five million, as infiltrators. As a matter of fact, the very term ‘Bangladeshi infiltrator’ is only a symbolic one. Its real objective is to drive out the working people of other states of India who have settled in Assam. Actually driving them out is not the aim. If the Jharkhandis are driven out, there will be a scarcity of ‘coolies’ in the tea gardens. Similarly, if the Muslims are forced to live Assam, there will be a severe shortage of cultivators in the riverine tracts. The real aim is to keep these labouring communities in a state of subjugation and deprive them of their legitimate rights, so that their labour power and the products of labour can be appropriated at will From the claimed Bodoland to Manipur, many armed groups have as their targets Jharkhandi, Muslim or Bihari workers. They are not seen to wield weapons against domestic and foreign big capitalists and traders, who are exploiting the tea, oil and other mineral resources of the entire north-east.

Like the Assamese chauvinists, the Bodo extremists too are putting the blame on ‘Bangladeshi infiltrators’ for the recent spate of violence in Assam. Outside Assam, the BJP and other Hindu communal outfits are vociferous about ‘Bangladeshi infiltrators’. Had the BTC leaders really believed that large number of Bangladeshis had infiltrated into the council region, they could have identified them and expelled them through a tribunal.

The BTC was formed in 2003 after an agreement with the BLT, and it was an act of appeasement on the part of the Central Government to buy peace. The so-called Bodo People’s Front that contests in the poll is an ottshoot of the BLT and it is they who control the BTC, most of the seats of which are reserved for the Bodos, although they are by no means a Majority in the area under the BTC. For a lasting peace, the Central Government and the Government of Assam must stop the ethnic violence of the Bodo chauvinists, dissolve the BTC and evolve a solution on the basis of equality of all identities, ie, the Coch-Rajbangshis, Santals and other Jharkhandis, Bengali Hindus and Bengali Muslims, living in the region. In a region where diverse identities live in large numbers, the rule of one community must not be imposed by force.
