1. mr. subramaniam is a lot better person ,academically n politically , than most of the ppl trolling here.
2. his remarks were insensitive n improper, esp to the ppl of the young rising nation which happens to our neighbour. talk of annexing wont solve anything but wud deter good relations between two brother countries.
3. illegal migration has been continuing since independence and ppl migrate only when they are faced with great odds in their existing situation. before independence india was poor enough. but its neighbours were poorer. bangladesh got screwed by pakistan for 24 more yrs and now by their politicians (same wit the whole south asia). its natural that poor ppl from BD crossed over to india. First in west bengal (aided by votebank politics) and then assam (again aided by votebank politics). many of the guys need proof in the form of links n documents n other BS, but i am a local of these regions n i saw with my own eyes wats happening there. i dont blame those ppl from BD for crossing over. whn u r hungry u r supposed to find food not wortless nationalism. indians n BDeshis r blaming each other but its india who is to be blamed more. I say, why should BD worry abt these crossings??? they r losing some **** beggars who wouldnt burden their fledgeling economy anymore...put a cherry on top of that, they will always have a porous border filled with sympathetic muslim/bangladeshi diaspora to help them in case of any aggression from either side. Its a double win for them (yeah, u BDeshis r probably laffing ur a$$ off....n probably u shud). But consider wat our country is getting :
@ huge no of illegal migrants with zero assets (except that they r hardworking as hell, i have seen small groups of bangladeshi migrants sttling n farming in remote arunachal valleys whr even the arunachalis dont settle down)
@ drastic change in demographics. (at BD guys...please dont scream abt links)
@ potential security threat
@ grt burden to its already burdened economy. having one of the largest foreign exchange reserves in the world doesnt justify wasting money on illegal migrants.
4. wat should be done by BD is their own matter. but y shud they do anything??? their problems are getting solved without doing anything. if anything has to be done then it has to be done by us, indians. becoz we r the ones on the losing side here. sumtimes some corrupt BSF jawans take money n allow bangla ppl to cross borders. they cross in the morning, pull rickshaws, push thelas, do hard honest labour n get back by the night, eg karimganj , assam, NE india. these guys r sort of good among the bad lot. the bad ones dont return n move to interior parts to avoid getting detected. and thats easy its not like indians are like greeks n u can single out the famished bengalis. steps have to be taken from the political level AND social level to decrease this menace. also indian government shud force the affected states to device plans to distinguish the illegal migrants n put them on a gov list. then GOI shud armtwist BD to take its citizens back. ANNEXING is foolish.
5. to my esteemed b'deshi scholars, india is not SO poor as u mite think. n u r not as rich as the americans either. international community doesnt hold concerts for the poor of india but they do for flood victims of bangladesh. some BD guys here were comparing about per capita income n blah blah of both thses countries....need i comment on that ????? of course there are scores of things in which BD is better but may i know wat they are???? n how important parameters are they for national pride?????? pride is for winners, not losers like south asians.
6. @the indians who were badmouthing subbu : 2G deal ka parda faash kisne kiya ????????? tum logon ne????
