The pain and sorrow of MAJULI

Posted by: anonymous on 08/16/2007 02:35 (Read: 1421)

MAJULI- the world’s largest river island is facing the heavy erosion by the mighty Brahmaputra. Originally the total area of this island was 1250 sq. km.

So it is very obvious that what will happen after fifty years from now.

Posted by: admin on 06/17/2007 02:35 (Read: 1784)

It is a political irony of post-partition India that none of its Government ever took the problem of large scale of Muslims infiltration from erstwhile East Pakistan, which is now Bangladesh to bordering Indian states particularly Assam, seriously. Nehru-Liyaqat pact (1950), Indira-Mujib Accord (1971) and much publicised Assam Accord (1985) too failed to stop this 'silent invasion'.
