brave examples

You must have read about this incident, the bodo girl students assaulted by a bunch of nasty haryana police men in a train, leading to a clash between the bodo students association and them. The incident was tragic, as three young guys lost their lives, but i could see it only in heroic lights. Guys gave their lives to protect their girls' honor. One of the killed guy was a friend to the group of girls. Right time to ask yourself, whether you will give your life to protect the honor of a woman. Apart from that think of the magnitude of response. The girls getting attacked, the students association and local people also reacting in such a short time period to stop the train and attack the nasty policemen. One of the reasons helping such strong reaction against the police men would be the human rights violations perpetrated by the security forces in the state, especially the bodo parts for long period of time.
I felt that the incident should have got more media coverage since the attackers were armed police men and according to whatever news i could get, they are still not arrested.The bodoland activists are not that interested in staying in india, they want their independence. But the question is do we want them. I sure do, and i think we do, though we tease them by calling them chinkis. And we can only prove it by showing interest in their issues
When i was doing my graduation, we had these guys from nagaland, manipur and arunachal pradesh in the hostel. I(and most of the guys) used to like those guys, and also had my closest friend lestor, sharing a room with the cool nagaland guy, bishal. So it was like my second room. Occassionally, i used to get negative vibes from these guys, since they like keeping to their group, but i never could think of hating them, since they were basically sweet. The guy called Agoom had this catapult and could hit a moving bird, also he would cook the bird and eat it :). I didn't get a chance to taste it but lestor told me it was good. Also i still keep the dream of going to nagaland or assam once, it must be something good, great mountains, climate and the pretty girls offcourse.
