Demographic invasion of Asom by Bangladeshis
An on-screen account


GUWAHATI, Aug 17: A documentary by Mayank Jain on ISI and Madrasa design and infiltration from Bangladesh showed the gravity of the situation prevailing in Asom, Tripura and West Bengal because of influx from the neighbouring country. The documentary — based on reports of the Task Force for Border Management, Centre for Policy Studies, Chennai and former Asom Governor Lt Gen (retd) SK Sinha’s sensational report to the President of India — highlighted the threat to security, demography and integrity of Asom, West Bengal and Tripura due to infiltration from Bangladesh. The documentary also included reports of former Intelligence Bureau chief TV Rajeswar and writings of journalist and BJP leader Arun Shourie.
According to the documentary, demographic invasion of Asom by Bangladeshis is at an advanced state. “Bangladeshis are the deciding factors in as many as 41 of the 126 LACs in Asom,” the documentary said, and added: “A conspiracy has been hatched by the ISI and fundamentalists of Bangladesh to carve out an Islamic country comprising Asom, Tripura and parts of Bihar and West Bengal.” It said that Bangladeshi fundamentalists had direct link with the al Qaeda which was providing them arms and arms training. “About 20,000 youths from the North-east India and 3,000 youths from Bangladesh were given arms training on jehadi movement. The trained youths have suicide squads also,” the documentary added.
According to the documentary, Siliguri corridor is the most preferred entry points for Bangladeshi infiltrators since they can hide in Nepal, which is 24 km from there, in the event of strict vigil by the BSF. The unfenced Bangladesh-Asom border and the number of Muslim-dominated districts in Asom have also been shown on the screen.
According to statistics on Bangladeshi infiltrators given in the documentary, West Bengal has the highest number of Bangladeshis (79 lakhs), followed by Asom (50 lakhs), Bihar (4.7 lakhs) and Tripura (3.75 lakhs). The documentary further said that Bangladeshis were the deciding factors in 32 per cent (41 LACs) of the 126 LACs in Asom.
Besides live interviews of personalities like All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya, journalist Dhirendranath Chakravarty and other regional and national leaders, the documentary also included live confessional statements of Bangladeshi infiltrators on matters like where they came from and how.
The documentary suggested total sealing of the border along Bangladesh, minimising the distance between border outposts, intensifying the process of detection and deportation of Bangladeshis etc, so as to get rid of the menace.

‘Greater Bangladesh design still nursed actively’

SHILLONG, Aug 17 – Pakistan in connivance with Bangladesh has ‘still’ not given up on its evil design to create ‘Greater Bangladesh’ carved out of Indian territory.

Inspector General of Border Security Force (BSF) of Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur and Nagaland (AMM&N) Frontier, Jyoti Prakash Sinha told news men today that Pakistani and Bangladeshi elements were ‘still’ at work to create a ‘greater Bangladesh’ carved out of Asom and West Bengal.

The modus operandi of such elements is simple. They recruit impoverished Muslim youths from identified areas in Asom such as Dhubri and its adjoining Char areas and indoctrine them with Islamic fanaticism.

These youths are subsequently pushed back to India to infuse Islamic fundamentalism into gullible youths to fight for an elusive Pan-Islamic State, said Sinha.

The Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) with the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), Bangladesh is instigating youths in India to achieve their goal, he asserted.

Other groups involved in this nefarious design are Harkat-ul-Jehad-Al-Islami (HuJAI), Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) Sinha added.

The ISI and the DGFI do most of the funding for this purpose. Other organizations involved in such clandestine funding include the Al Queda and the Pakistan sponsored Laskar-e-Toiba (LeT), Sinha informed.

“We have of late instructed boatmen in Dhubri district of Asom to hoist the Indian flag on their boats for identification purpose. On the cards is compulsory registration of boats with local authorities in the area to check infiltration,” Sinha stated.

Sinha said, although the security forces were trying their best to stop cross border infiltration as well as exfiltration, the riverine nature of the border makes the task all the more difficult for the sentinel forces guarding the porous Dhubri sector.

“Dhubri and Tura in Meghalaya are the most difficult border areas to man because of their terrain. And this makes crossing over from India to Bangladesh and vice versa easy,” Sinha elaborated.

Meanwhile, the BSF would take up the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration in its meeting with the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) to be held here on August 28, apart from other important issues concerning the international border.

Foreigners issue used to persecute Assam Muslims
By Our Special Correspondent

The Milli Gazette Online

Imphal: Shekhar Gupta, now the chief editor of The Indian Express, while covering the Nellie massacre back in early 1980s had witnessed it for himself: “A woman, with no more than a rag round her waist screams uncontrollably. Her breasts bear ghastly lacerations. Abdul Hannan, one of the few survivors now helping to collect the wounded, says she was in the sixth month of pregnancy – aborted - a spear-handle was thrust deep into her vagina, and she was left to die after the marauders spent a few minutes disfiguring her body. She now screams not with pain but with grief, and points to the pieces of a two-year-old, her first, who was drawn into two.” They grabbed his limbs, two from each direction and pulled him into pieces, says Hannan, and mumbles as an after–thought, ‘why she doesn’t die now” (Shekhar Gupta, Assam – A divided valley, Vikas, New Delhi, 1984, p.2).

About 3000 persons (more by some accounts) were killed in that massacre, and so far no action has been taken against the perpetrators despite the “minority-appeasement” policy of the ruling Congress government. The fear generated by the massacre and the intimidations that followed in the following years, continue to haunt the Muslims of Assam. It is against this background that we should look at the Muslims’ fear which pushed them to flee their homes in Upper Assam last May.

A consistent approach shaped by the anti-Muslim attitude (founded on hatred and prejudice) to label the Muslims of Assam as “Bangladeshis” has been the main feature of Assam politics for years.

This approach was re-enacted in an ugly devil-dance on May 11 when an SMS reading “no job, no cloth, no shelter to Bangladeshis” flashed on mobilephone sets across Upper Assam. The campaign for the boycott of Muslims (“Bangladeshi”, as it has become, despite denials, a synonym for Muslims in Assam) was launched purportedly by a previously unheard group, Chiring Chapori Yuva Mancha. It started a day after the tripartite talks between Assam government, AASU and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

For four days most people were in complete darkness as to what actually had taken place. The move seems to be a well-planned strategy to cleanse the area of what they claim are “Bangladeshis”. Indeed the boycott of Muslims has already become a favorite game for certain forces in India. Gujarat is an example.

Ghulam Osmani, a minority leader and an MP, says that 10,000 to 15,000 have been deported to Dibrugarh district and another 20,000 have been marooned in Tinsukhia district after rioters burnt down their houses. All Assam Students’ Union’s (a frontal organization on the foreigners issue) adviser Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya, commenting on the drive of the Yuva Mancha, says: “This is a spontaneous action as ordinary people have lost faith in the Government, bureaucracy or politicians on the foreigners’ issue”.

But Muslims of Assam are convinced this was not a “spontaneous” action of the people. Far from it, they feel, constant prodding and incitement led to such a turn of events. The Muslims do not accept AASU’s explanation, despite its frequent protestations of neutrality on the foreigners’ issue. In fact, Muslims have a different students organization, “All Assam Minority Students’ Union” (AAMSU), which was formed in 1980 mainly as a reaction to AASU politics and attitudes when large sections of religious and linguistic minorities were harassed during the AASU-sponsored agitation for detection and deportation of foreigners. Shekhar Gupta wrote, then, “…thanks to the lack of political pragmatism among the AASU leadership, the RSS elements have been able to operate at a different and more political level, succeeding in solely influencing some of the leaders in mofussil towns. These can be made to play a key role in whatever future scheme of things the RSS has for Assam and Northeast. The AASU leadership, jolted by Muslim revolt within its own ranks, has failed to check this drift and, if it continues, in five years from now (1984) the RSS in Assam will have the clout to do the kind of stuff it has been credited with during February 1983” (1984:122).

In fact “Hindu to arak**** hai”(the poor Hindu is unprotected) was the common refrain among the RSS circles then. Affiliated members of this fascist formation have carried on this “philosophy” faithfully. Members of this formation seek to distinguish between “Hindu refugees” and “Muslim infiltrators”. After the recent attempt at “boycott”, BJP leader Kalraj Mishra said in Silchar on June 1, 2005, that the Hindus coming from Bangladesh should be treated as “refugees”. To protect the Hindu refugees, he said, the BJP was advocating the introduction of the Citizenship Act of 1950 and repeal of IM(DT) Act. Is this a “majority appeasement” policy of the Sangh Parivar?

Before the recent anti-Muslim campaign the Assam Tribune reported on April 27, 2005 that the government has conceded that the infiltration of Bangladeshi nationals belonging to Hindu community was continuing unabated inspite of checks and control at the international borders. Thus it appears that under the shrill slogan of deporting “Bangladeshi infiltrators”, it was only the Muslims who have been targeted.

Recent persecution of Muslims is taking place within this politico-ideological framework that has been refined over a long period of time. Muslims of Assam want the foreigners to be deported as soon as possible without religious discrimination. But they continue to be the victims of the two-nation theory championed in India by certain forces who decry this theory when it comes to Pakistan and Partition. How is that when the call to boycott “Bangladeshis” was SMSed only Muslims fled to safety? Is it because the “unprotected” sections from across the border find protection in the arms of the chanters of “Hindu-Muslim” division mantra? «

"Bangladeshi infiltrators"
"Pak - Bangla inflitrators will destroy India" stories claim that Hindus are squeezed out in Muslim majority countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh. My answer to him is that India has kept open its borders for Hindus migrating from these countries. They migrated to India where they got all support from the establishment. Secondly Muslims are very loyal to the country and they do not want get away, whereas the Hindus were not loyal to those countries. Under these circumstances, there will be no Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh in the near future. It is a wrong propaganda that Hindus are ill-treated in these countries.

Even Nepalese are coming out without any passport. They are in the army also. But the same facility is not provided to the Muslims who opt to come to India from these countries. Bengalis who migrated during the war are being hunted and shunted back to Bengal. It has been made a political and communal issue by some parties in India.

There are many factual errors in his write-up which I shall deal later.

So what we have here is discrimination of Muslims on the Bangla-Indian border.

Great! Bangladesh doesn't even have an organised army...So we're expecting militias to emerge as a result, normal civilians taking to arms and dealing with this situation with their own hands.

Influx and jehadi designs in Asom
— Sazzad Hussain
Influx of illegal migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh to Asom is not a new issue. It has been going on since a long period of time and despite the six year old Asom movement to expel these illegal migrants and the Asom Accord. The political stand at the executive level and the corrupt border management are usually blame for this alarming rate of influx. Whatever the reasons may be, this influx has already created a complex situation in Asom as there are already people of east-Bengali origin in the State with Islam as their faith who are often branded as foreigners for their ethnic affinities with the illegal migrants. Moreover there are indigenous Muslims who have been living in Asom since the thirteenth century who also face an identity crisis amidst this problem which at many times leads to uncomfortable position in their relation to the non-Muslim population of the State. The spread of global Islamist terror and jehadi elements have also affected the Muslims of these kinds in Asom in different ways and forms. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Bangladesh and the constant anti-Indian elements in the military and intelligence establishments of Dhaka have encouraged many in that country to push the jehadi networks in Asom by taking advantage of the influx through the free border. This is going to be dangerous portent if not dealt with firmly by all.

The majority of the infiltrators from Bangladesh are Sunni Muslims of the Deobandi School and those who are Asomiya now in the Chars are also of the same faith and sect. It was the Bengali dialect speaking Muslims who have been doing the job of the Mullahs and Imams in Asom since a long time. They are all the products of Madrassas like Dar-ul-Ulum Deoband and Baskandi who do not have any formal modern secular education necessary to live in a pluralistic society that we have. The Asomiya speaking Muslims, though educated in the modern mode could not overrule these Mullahs fearing religious backlash. There is also lack of modern approaches to Islam and interpretation of the holy Quran among them. The provision of reading the Holy Book in one’s mother tongue is out of question among them. Their conditions are like that of the European Christians of the medieval age when the Vatican dictated them everything in Latin and they had to obey them. The Muslims of Asom also do not know much about the people of the same faith in other parts of the world and their different political and historical situations and are misinformed about the current events of the Islamic world. The Muslims in the Chars are far below in educational, social and other aspects and easily be motivated on religious terms without their own comprehension of the subjects. Among other things the problem of illegal influx is a subject which they are always juxtaposed by others. Now they are completely unaware of the jehadi elements associated with the illegal infiltration.

Islamic fundamentalism made its way into the Asomiya Muslim society during the early 1980s when the anti-foreigner movement took communal overtones and Muslims became isolated. The fundamentalist elements penetrated through the Tablighs and Estemas calling Muslims to be more concerned about the world after death and the ritualistic – customary observation of the faith. It is now assumed that the misinterpretation of Islam by the Madrassas in the Pak-Afghan border to produce the Mujahideens to fight the Soviet came across the border to India and Asom. Because previously no such activities were present in India or Asom. Though the Tablighs and Estemas did not call for jehad, they prepared the fertile ground of fundamentalism where the place for reasoning and argument were negated in the name of faith. It made Muslims to observe numerous dos and don’ts in the name of Islam and indifferent towards the modern current world and situations making them redundant in the modern society. The rules imposed by the Taliban in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 like ban on TV, cinema, photography, monitoring of individuals not attending prayers at the mosques, various restrictions on women including the use of Burqa were all endorsed by those fundamentalists of the Tablighs and Estemas. Branches of Students Islamic Movement of India were opened at various parts of the State where they tried to mobilise the Muslim students in Islamic orientation where also misinformation were given to the students on the modern secular Sates like Turkey Egypt etc. the ongoing Ayodhya campaign by the Sangh through out India also hailed these elements to make quick inroads among the Muslims in different places including Asom.

The most common thing that the Islamic fundamentalists talk about is that the world will one day be converted into an Islamic one and there will be no Apocalypse till a last Muslims lives in this world. The Tablighs and Estemas mostly give importance to the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet) prepared by Bukhari, one of the disciples of Muhammad. But recent studies have found that Bukhari had dropped many chapters of the original compilation which gave importance to women’s rights, individual freedom, education and democracy and retained only the repressive measures meant only for some situations. So we have Islam which allows man to marry as many as four wives and pronounce divorce verbally. This social backwardness of the Indian Muslims due to these fundamentalist elements has been exploited politically by all major parties and utilised by the anti-Muslim communal forces to spread the message of hatred and venom. Political parties only provide financial aids in constructing grand mosques and Madrassas in Muslim localities where the basic amenities like roads, schools and hospitals are almost non-existent and Muslims too do not care about them.

So it is better for the jehadis to expand their networks among people of such backgrounds. In India it has already happened and many places are now affected by them who want to wage a war against the State of India in the name of Islam, not only for Kashmir. In Asom they are trying to make Asom into a part of Greater Islamic Bangladesh over the last one and half decade by taking advantage of the infiltration. The socio-political vulnerability of the Muslims in the State in the name of illegal migrants has given them scope to penetrate. Since the extensive religious orientation of the Tablight and Estemas have failed to reduce the number of criminal activities among the immigrant Muslims of the State, the jehadis can use some of them to provide logistic support by luring them money. Moreover the fertile ground of Islamic fundamentalism can be a plus point for the jehadis to spread their activities in Asom. The rising power of the anti-Indian jehadi forces in Bangladesh also contributed to the spread of the same across the border in Asom. Though the arrests and reports of jehadi activists in Asom and elsewhere in the North East are on they cannot be considered as real culprits as the genuine perpetrators always remain dormant and underground.

One thing should be clear that there are a lot of social and economic problems of Indian and Asomiya Muslims coupled with communal hatred by the Hindutva forces. But for the mitigation of their problems Muslims of India and Asom should take the help of other non-Muslim Indians who do share their problems. They should, as suggested by noted thinker Dr Hiren Gohain, be lead by a leader like Martin Luther King who involved white Americans in their fight for justice for the blacks with great success. Since the demolition of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya in late 1991, all right thinking Indians have been calling the Muslims to take the side of secular forces in their fight for justice and security. In Asom too the same should be the approach in addressing the problems of the Muslims. Muslims in Asom should share the fight against the illegal infiltration from the neighbouring country and particular the immigrant Muslims living in the Chars should come forward for identifying the illegal ones. They should deny the fundamental forces and take the modern way of life of dignity and social development by taking education and secular ethos of our culture. If the majority community offer their help the Muslims in Asom in any way can defeat the designs of the jehadis.

I have no problem with 'demographic invasions', as long as they are not actually malicious attempts to take over a country. I think the term 'demographic invasion' is just right-wing propaganda.

Not only in the bangla indian border , but it is a conspiracy of setling of the hindus in these region. Bangla hindus and the nepalese are free to settle over here, but the indegeneous muslims are resisting and thats why they are doing a propoganda of like this .

They even give a exact numbers i.e, 20000 + 3000 = 23000 youths . But where is the age , they are missing one point that is the age limit , youth may be from 10 years to 50 years .
