- It is amazing how paranoid people can get. Perhaps you fail to realize that
- the Hindu Fundamentalists have exactly the opposite problem - they feel that
- the government of India is for anyone but the Hindu majority and is indulging
- in minority appeasement. I wonder how you get the idea that it proves your
- case. If anything, it disproves your case. The fact is that almost every
- group in India feels discriminated against - be it the Sikhs, the Hindus, the
- Muslims, the Kashmiris, Assamese or whatever. And everyone feels betrayed by
- the government. If only people would stop being paranoid and work towards a
- solution can a solution be found - if you just want to point fingers then
- nothing will be achieved except more chaos.

- Nor is it interested in solving the Assam problem, or RJB problem and so on.
- By concentrating only on one issue - you are giving an entirely wrong
- perspective on the whole issue and not helping in any constructive way in
- resolving the issues.

- Clearly, there is little hope for a solution:-).
