		Truth is, in the Assam of the present (as in Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh), one needs to be aligned with a certain armed group, whichever that may be, to rule.
		In the elections of 2001, the people of Assam threw out the AGP, then blamed for a series of 'secret killings' the SULFA carried out, it is widely believed, with the full knowledge of the state government.
		It is an uneasy calm that exists between the ruling government of the day in Assam and the extremist lodged so often within the state, who may not always be in a position to appreciate the finer points of political survival.

	States of the nation
		Chapter 3, "Generals as Governors", seeks to provide the meat to support the theoretical argument of the preceding essay by enumerating and analysing several instances of former senior officers of the military, police and intelligence establishments who have become Governors of the seven States of the region.
		This has led to a situation where the Governors of these States have become "crucial nodes in the counter-insurgency network" with a role far exceeding what is envisaged in the Constitution, leading to "counter-insurgent constitutionalism", a "de-facto parallel political system somewhat autonomous of the formal democratically elected governmental structure".
		The ultimate meaning of the colonial policy of land settlement in Assam, according to the author, was "to shift large amounts of Assam's land and forest resources from the control of the peasantry, both settled and shifting cultivators, and the hunter gatherers to the colonial state.

		Assam is also grateful to Lt. General (Retired) Sriniwas Kumar Sinha and Lt. General (Retired) Ajai Singh, the previous and the current Governors of Assam, for their deep understanding and unflinching support.
		Ram Singh’s second attack would have been disastrous for Assam because by this time Lachit had passed away, Atan Buragohain was stripped off his position and later executed on the sands of Koliabar in yet another fratricidal feud of Assam.
		Assam’s history is beset with glorious times of victory, alternating with gloomy periods of fratricide and betrayal, lingering to the modern times of AGP/Congress flip-flop.

		In September of that year, the governor of Assam, Sri Prakasa, accompanied by his adviser for Tribal Areas, Nari Rustomji, flew to Bombay to apprise Patel of the situation.
		For instance, in Assam, thanks to the consent of former chief minister Mahanta, counter-insurgency operations since 1997 have been conducted by a Unified Command under which all forces including the state police come under the operational command of the Army.
		Assam’s growing violence—which includes a large number of secret killings by death squads—exemplifies the results of a counter-insurgency strategy which in fact transformed an insurgency into a wider and long drawn-out conflict.

		The court, which is seized of two suits filed by Assam, seeking resolution of its boundary disputes with Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, was of the view that the boundaries of these states had already been defined in the Constitution and the commission was needed to demarcate the same on the ground.
		Appearing for Assam, senior counsel K K Venugopal put the message across that there has to be a boundary commission to carry out demarcations in accordance with boundaries laid down by the Parliament and defined in article 3, Schedule-I of the Constitution.
		Another difficulty with changing the name of Assam to Asom is that the other ethnic communities living in the State may not take kindly to the act, given their vehement opposition to the use of the term Assamese to identify all the indigenous people of the State.
