Re: Is india merely a space?
God, what he meant by 'separate state within India' was that the ethnic minorities are demanding for their own little state, and not nation state!!
Bodos, the Karbis..they all are demanding a separate state created out of areas dominated by them in Assam, to safeguard their own interests being taken away by the dominant Assamese.
and yes, i live in Assam, so i do know the things here.
