Read a little bit -- you have/had Hindu and Buddhist groups fighitng against India -- remember the Bodos? And "alienation" in the case of Kashmir (which is so close to Delhi) is silly, but you can't deny that the NE was ignored economically by Delhi until the 90s. Now that the economy has picked up there and satellite TV is awailable and Hindi movies are available, the alienation is dying away. Face facts -- NE Indians look different from Indians from other parts of India, they could be mistaken for Orientals. Not so Kashmiris who could pass for Punjabis or other NOrth Indians.
 
Perhaps you need to read a little. Bodos were fighting to seperate from Assam. The tribal Bodos were hardpressed by waves of refugees comming from Bangladesh, (Sylhet & Chittagong  both Muslims and Chakma refugees) and immigrants from Bihar. They were not exactly fighting against India but to seperate from Assam because they were negelected by the ASOM.
 
I also pointed out the alienation felt by the Tamils in the 60s. You can't deny that. But that has been licked slowly by Tamil Nadu's growing economic and social integration with the rest of India.
 
The Tamils were neglected by India or by Sri Lanka? It looks like you are now a little carried away with your sudden anti-India tirade.

Oh, I DO condemn the terrorist activities of the guerilla groups in the NE -- whether they be Christian or Hidnu or other. But I don't consider it "Christian" terrorism because I don't see the Catholic Church issuing charities to send guns to those rebels -- do you? If those idiots are targetting people just because they are Hindus, then I condemn them.
The problem is you dont want to see it because you wish to remain in denial. The media has already reported on the Church's involvement with the terrorists.

You're getting hysterical and losing perspective. How is whast I said an "anti-India tirade"? I stated that I also pointed out the alienation felt by the Tamils in the 60s. You can't deny that. But that has been licked slowly by Tamil Nadu's growing economic and social integration with the rest of India. -- what do you think the DMK and the AIADMK were formed for? Because the Dravidians felt beseiged by being forced to speak Hindi and YES, they did feel alienated -- power was kept in Delhi and the regions had no say. That changed in the 90s and Tamils would laugh at anyone telling them to break away from India. Ditto for the Punjab -- the Khalistan movement never had great support, but now support is nearly non-existant. Why this sudden change in punjabi/Sikh and Hindu Tamil reactions? Why the change in Bodoland? Because there is more devolution to the states and people fromt he regions have more of a say in Delhi -- with the decay of the Congress, regional parties DO have a say. And that will kill off the NE militant groups.

The problem is you dont want to see it because you wish to remain in denial. The media has already reported on the Church's involvement with the terrorists.

You aren't quoting facts, just tirades -- event he piece about aid beign denied to tsunami victims: where are the names of the supposed charities that did that? The so-called nuns? Nothing, just stories told. Are they true? Are they false? We've got no proof about this either way.

you quote the media but then too often turn around and call them pseudo-secularists. The media make news-splashes, they dont' corroborate facts, they just tell you what you want to believe.
