Ethnic autonomy no panacea for North East India
Nagaland Post | Agencies | Guwahati, Oct 27 ()
Serious doubts arise over the Government’s wisdom in continuing to grant autonomy to communities in the North-east on ethnic lines. This is because aspirations of ethnic groups can perhaps never be satisfied with the granting of a certain form of autonomy and their hopes would continue to soar for more. Otherwise, why would forces like the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) clamour for more autonomy for the Bodos even after their leaders had signed the Bodo Accord in 2003?
This is exactly the reason why one has been impressing upon the need to do away with the practice of granting autonomy on ethnic lines and adopting a policy to grant regional autonomy to comparatively under-developed areas or a contiguous stretch of territory in the region.
