My second point is..the Dimasa demand for Dima Raji is the problem, I am just wondering what recognition and benefits will be received if the demand for Dimasa Homeland is successful??? The answer is the BIG NOTHING so why creating problem? How does it feel like no more wanting to be called N.C Hills? Would be interesting to know....
Another fact about the Dimasa is that they are moved from one place to another from Dimapur to Cachar and to N C Hills, Where then, N C Hills was inhabited by many tribes while they were wondering. The more they try to eliminate one from the district, the closer for the Dimasa to be moved out of N C Hills…Furthermore, it would not be easy for the different tribes of N C Hills to accept the so called demand for Dima Raji. I think the present problem and the previous problem is just the same created by the Dimasa themselves. This is just my analysis and does not reflect any other opinion.
On the other hand, the situation of N C Hills remained unknown to most people of Assam. This gap in communication is mainly because of the neglect of the press. For eg., if a person is killed in Guwahati, Dibrugarh etc., the news is headline in the leading newspapers of Assam, whereas in case of N C Hills where many were killed and hundred houses gutted, it seems, it doesn't deserve to be a news for regional newspapers like Assam Tribune and so on. We all know that Assam is neglected by mainland India, but what Assamese people don't know is that N C Hills is neglected by Assam Govt. because of which it is trouble-torn today.
So, the NGOs and civil societies must take up stern steps to prompt the Govt. of Assam to take decisive measures to bring situation under control in N C Hills.
