PUNE MIRROR (pg21, 29JAN2011).
The report by New Delhi based
North East Support Centre which precursors the impending exodus of the people
from the north east towards the other parts of the country in the next few
years should be a wakeup call for the central government to stop the step child
treatment for this very own part of our country. The writing is on the wall
that a lot of political parties will milk this situation for their political
gains by putting them in the category of ‘the unwanted’ like the people from UP
and Bihar. The politicians are deliberately obtuse to understand that the dice
is loaded against these hapless people and they’re not invaders but a victim of
the deficiency of development in their respective states and as a citizen of
this country they’ve the constitutional right to move out to earn a living. The
development doesn’t mean constructing highways which takes the youth out of
their states but to bring in education and employment in the state itself. Few
developed cities don’t make us a developed country, the growth needs to be
inclusive so the central and the state governments should usher in fresh ideas
and chalk out plans to bring employment opportunities in these deplorable and
paralyzed states.
