government of india should stop following the british methodology of ruling this nation. the north east states have done nothing wrong if they express their dissatisfaction about government apathy in the region.in whatever form possible and at whatever cost.

there were only 4 in numbers, what government termed as "militants" and declared the region disturbed area and sent the army with AFSP act 1958 impunity. now there are 32 of such militants in Manipur alone. only human rights violation committed by Army is order of the region now. why critisised only ? it is crime against humanity that is going on since decade. fortunately they can not kill in thousands because the population is not even the population of a district or two in UP, MP or Maharashtra in thatregion. if the government of india by sending the troops in the region for decade failed to bring law and order, any thinking citizens of this great country should question the government's 1. motives in that region 2. the capability of the army who are to defense this country from external aggression but failed in their mission inthe north east states. it is humilating and shame to think of.
