First it was a language issue and now is even more. They clearly hate the northerners. I have heard them call (high educated), that the northerns are the children of Paks and worse. There was also a recent report (US foregin policy paper i think?) that expects these issue to increase as india gets more wealthy and people discover india only ever existed as a country when conquered and held together by an external force. In a situation like that you will see IA come in to the fore.

I might be mistaken, but I feel the NE is literally cut-off from the mainland. And why is our govt always reactionary? Why is it that roads have to be built in Arunachal Pradesh only after China does something? <br />On a different note I saw your NDTV video called 'Is it time for India's intelligence agencies to declassify..' or something similar, I find that you have no posts on your blog on such issues,is it because of any particular reason?<br />Regards.Sujithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291574671890753475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-16227343678922910722010-05-07T05:28:44.421-07:002010-05-07T05:28:44.421-07:00Joydeep:

It should also ensure that these roads are weather proof and don't lead to entire NE getting cut off from mainland due to floods in Brahmaputra etc. These roads should be handed over to the private sector to be completed on priority basis. <br /><br />Apart from this, all border outposts and important towns for security should be constructed by BRO, and its manpower doubled if required. <br /><br />Studies have shown that having good access to roads improves the economic climate, and people having good access to roads earn more than those without proper access to good roads. This will also benefit the NE region in teh long term, leading to reduced insurgencies etcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-20450786061630552932010-05-06T19:40:34.734-07:002010-05-06T19:40:34.734-07:00I respect the BRO,from afghanistan to natula in si...I respect the BRO,from afghanistan to natula in sikkim ..they are the best Public work department we have in the country.I still remember the way they were working in sikkim when I was fortunate to go there 3 years back.<br /> We need a to make it more like a corporate structure like BSNL with private efficiency and public social responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
