Tribals in Assam

Hi! Palash,
This is in response to your blog regarding the Tribals in Assam and their demand for their ST status. I was glad to read your piece and also to discover that there are people who are conscious about the situation. Am glad that you wrote on it because there has been no positive response from the state or from the other vigilant people. The situation of these tea-tribals is no less than of a dog who is "na ghar ka, na ghat ka."(they are nowhere as they do not officially belong to their home-state nor the present-state where they are) I feel so helpless as i can do nothing but silently watch and read the horrror on T.V. and in newspapers.

Is there something that can be done? That can transform our concern into something constructive.
I would like to know your opinion on it. Waiting for your reply.

Thanks,
Shashi Tigga
