Diganta Sharma was able to make the genocide to haunt its perpetrators once again. Victims and some other groups are contemplating to go to the Supreme Court and use the book as a piece of evidence. Dr. Debabrata Sharma, on behalf of Ekalabya, the publisher of the book in the introduction compared the Assamese chauvinist mind-set with that of Lady Macbeth when she says "A little water clears us of this deed" before the publication of the book. Now, after the publication they wonder "All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten these little hands" like Lady Macbeth.
'Neelie, 1983' cries for actions to wash the hands. It needs justice. Nothing short of justice would do. Read it. Be ashamed. Be afraid. It was one of our great shames which came first of many such. Delhi, 1984. Mumbai, Gujarat. What is in stock for the next days who knows? So read it. Be haunted. And take actions. Take actions to get justice for the victims.

JUSTICE RAHUL | Feb 16th, 2008
TAKE EXAMPLE OF THE DISTRICT BARPETA. THERE ARE A HANDFULL OF ASSAMESE MUSLIM VILLAGES WHO CONSTITUTE ABOUT 5% OF THE NATIVE PEOPLES.
BUT, TODAY, 80% OF PEOPLE ARE MUSLIMS. WHERE FROM THEY COME IF NOT FROM BANGLADESH?
WE ARE MINORITY IN OUR OWN LAND TODAY.
JUSTICE FOR WHOM?

Justice for human being. Every human being has the right to justice irrespectiv of his identity. If there are illegal migrants in in place they should be driven legally. As to Assam, there are some migrants, they are protected by politicians for their vested interest. They themselves are victims as the original people of Assam are also being deprived of resources due to their presence. The migrants should be dealt with as per international law. They should be deported to their country. But in the name of driving them no Indian citizen should be harassed.
