Out there, down the foothills of Bhutan, everything was as usual like any other day. Nobody, not even me, ever thought that there would one day, be relief camps in Udalguri and Darrang districts of Assam. But time has its own way and destiny. But everything turned out to be a nightmare 3rd Oct., a black Friday, the day on which the valcano like communal dispute erupted between the indegenous tribes- Bodos, Garos, Assamese, Nepalese and illegal Bangaladeshi seltters in Udalguri and Darrang districts, forcing the people to take shelter in the relief camps. There are more than 78 other relief camps in Udalguri and Darrang districts, in which more than two lakh people are taking refuge - called it 'a democracy of relief camps in a democratic country' (www.nismedia.blogspot.com).
Similiar, is the situation in Kandhamal (Orissa). Sure, not a wild fire, churches set ablazed, houses reduced to ashes, innocent lives lost and more than 50,000 Christians forced to languished in the jungles and relief camps. Why it so…?
What's up in India? Certainly, Chandrayan in the moon, poverty on the ground and an uproar in the Parliament. Don’t you think that India, is really turning into 'a democracy of relief camps'? In a democracy, where once Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of Ram Rajya, do people have to live in relief camps??
Monjib, I am agree with you. Its a matter of serious concern in a civilised society like India. And our indian society society should also become vigilant against all terrorists of whatever religion or group. As communal riots were major danger in twentieth century, terrorist attacks are for 21st century. so we should forget that we are HIndus, Muslims or christians and should start thinking as an Indian first.
