The NRC and its related developments and future of the NER

Dr. Suwa Lal Jangu/text/06/08/2018. Now demand of NRC is rising in Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura... All these states have some doubtful and unrecognized foreigners... actually every third person in the North East states' population is outsider...it may be out of India as so called foreigner or rest of India. The native people in hill tribal areas in the North East states consider to any non-native Indian citizen as a foreigner..
Tribal people say that not only Bengali but also plain areas's Assamese also encroached their hill areas before 1971 and ever till now... For them plain areas's Assamese also outsider or foreigners. So the NRC is complicating more the socio-political problem rather than solving the problem. Therefore, stop to any such NRC system and tighten to the border line or areas so that any foreigners could not come or enter into the NES. Inter religion and intersect social relations are increased in the NES...
The NES is a landlocked region and surrounded by foreignland. Moreover the NER is economically backward and geographical fragile as rivers and forest make borders so can not be stopped 100% entry or infiltration of foreigners. The foreigners entry or illegal infiltration can stop  only if we stop the flow of rivers towards Bangladesh... Can it be possible? The region has gone or still going through insurgency, still here are demands of separate land and autonomy for ethnicity based identity and movements and violence activities for Inner Line permit regulation, etc. may be more disturbance after NRC.
The NRC system is like setting fire in forests. The foreigners or left outers in NRC is a fire and the ethnic and motherland as native population is forest. Innocent will be effected and forest may be rejuvenate after the fire but the losses in form of innocent people can not be recover and replaceable. In the NER here is a million people across religion, ethnicity, states and country are  living without motherland in hardship and fear of persecution by native majority population. Not only Bengali specially from Bangladesh, Chakma from Bangladesh, Nepali from Nepal, Burmese from Burma, Bhutiya from Bhutan, many more people have foreign identity but they came in the NER since long back and still are coming here. They have adopted the NER land as their motherland, they love to their NER motherland. For them their native or foreparents' land is step-parentland.
The culture, ecology, ethnicity and physical faces of so called foreigners (only in eyes of people in areas of their domination) are similar to the native of people of the NER. When the history, pains and isolation, forests, hills, monsoon, flood, landslides and rivers are the same in both sides and even people of both sides are not divided by these, then how can now people of other side to rivers, forests, hills and history and culture are not included in the NRC or identifying as foreigners. We want to be more connected with our neighbours as cross border, we want to increase our connectivity with other side, we want more trade and cooperation with other side through Look East or Act East policy, through BIMSTECH, ASEAN, BBINC, trilateral highway, from Haldia via Chittagong to Sittwe sea port. We want to emerge a global power, we want that our presence and recognition should be placed in international community.
All these are really our art of orating and acting in the name of Act East policy and at the platform of India-ASEAN summit. But reality is that we are becoming more segregated, disintegrated and forcing our minorities in isolation in the name of NRC, outsiders and foreigners. We are expecting that we are moving towards unlocking the NER's landlocked situation, removing the socio-economic backwardness, eliminating ethnic isolation and including them in national mainstream. Things in the NES at the current time are not folding in accordance our expectation, but they are unfolding towards darkness and backwardness. Thank you to all online social networking friends for reading my views on the current issue of NRC and development and future of the NER. I will seek your pardon for my writing and narrating mistakes in this piece of text.
