Why Assam is protesting against #CAB

CAB: the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, passed in December 2019. The Parliament of India amended the Citizenship Act of 1955 to grant a citizenship status to the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who entered India before 31st of December 2014. Why Assam is reacting: The earlier date was 1951 for the rest of India and 1971 for Assam. Assam was already bearing the burnt of 20 long years as compared to the rest of India. Does the rest of India even understand how many more of migrants are already considering Assam to be their home due to that 20 years difference? Do you understand how the Indigenous  people are suffering? Do you understand that the illegal migrants are known as ‘mia’ and we, are known as ‘Axomia’. Do you know that these illegal migrants have made a mockery of our ‘Axomia’ culture and that very word and says that Assam means ‘Assam for mia’. Seriously? Do you understand that we fear we would lose our identity

Love, in life!

The feeling I get thinking about the way you did touch me That touch, without you actually touching me; Just the way your eyes captivate mine Oh God, would I ever be fine! Every time I look at you, I can't help feeling happy My whole being start singing songs and body goes all preppy! The moment I see your lips curling into a smile Be rest assured, my heart stops for a while! Why do you slow down your pace? Am I too, like one of your other race? Do you feel any heaves when you do see me? Or, is it only me, who feels you are the key? Do you get nervous when I am around? Or, is it you just try to hide your frown? Do butterflies flutter in your tummy too? Or, what I am expecting is too good to be true? Let me just wake up now To reality, let me bow! This cannot ever be true, why am I even thinking of how? My life is already in different row!
