desi babu and Manav: A friend of mine from Kerala rightly said, "Until one doesn't lose the soil under their feet, they don't realize. By the time they realize, unfortunately, that would be too late for them."
So, the people who have not suffered directly have two options - (i) sleep peacefully now and wake up later just to know that they are already in deep trouble, or (ii) ACT NOW!
Apparently, except @Desi and @Manav, rest of greater Assamese population have already woken up. The result of Assam Bandh dated Aug 27, 2012 in the demand of arresting the conspirator Bazaruddin Ajmal and sealing the Indo-Bangladesh border completely was almost 100%. Not to mention, even the capital city of Guwahati observed complete bandh apart from Dhubri, Tinisukia, Kokrajhar, Jorhat, Tezpur, and all the cities, towns, and villages. The bandh was complete and I didn't see much enforcement by Bajrang Dal for their bandh call. The greater Assamese community observed this bandh by their own will because of the OBJECTIVE of the bandh call. I have seen this kind of successful bandh after a couple of decades.
The most interesting part was, the Chambers of Commerce of Hojai declared on the eve of the bandh that they were least bothered at what is happening in the other part of the state and they would boycott the bandh. Well well, did I say that the merchant association (aka Chambers of Commerce) would keep the shops open in Hojai? Now take this. The merchants have not listened to the dictatorship of their association leaders, but listened to their own souls. They OBSERVED the BANDH...!
It's not about making someone 'bakra' or publishing 'hate news'. It's about loving ones motherland and foresightedness.
I'm not a Bajrang Dal fan; however, the reason of this bandh call and the public support they received have given me enough reasons to appreciate their work. In my life, I've seen for the first time that the organization calling for the bandh was busy in humanitarian work during their bandh period. The passengers of the buses entering Assam were stranded at the border because of the bandh. The Bajrang Dal activists were seen serving them water and refreshment. That's the true spirit of a bandh call. Wow!
