:.-In the 1931 Census Report of Assam, C.S. Mullan, the superintendent of census operations, recorded the following observations: "Probably the most important event in the province during the last twenty five years-an event, moreover, which seems likely to alter permanently the whole future of Assam .

and to destroy...the whole structure of Assamese culture and civilization-has been the invasion of a vast horde of land-hungry Bengali immigrants, mostly J'Vluslims,from the districts of Eastern Bengal and in particular from Mymensingh. Wtlhout fuss, without tumult .. a population which must amount to over half a million has transplanted itself from Bengal to the Assam Valley during the last twenty-five years ...the only thing I can compare it to is the mass movement of a fa,rge body or ants." -:,.The Muslim cultivators were encouraged by the Muslim League government headed by Mohammad SaduJiah tn Assam ostensibly for the 'Grow More Food Campaign', though .

as Viceroy Lord Wavell satd, Sadullah was more interested in 'Grow more Muslims' rather than Grow more Food'. The availability of large tracts of cultivable fertile area in Assam was a great incentive to migration. .

:,... According to Sharifa Begum of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies in Dhaka, nearly 3 .5 million people 'disappeared' from East Pakistan between 1951 and 1961, and that another 1.5 million possibly entered .

India between 1961 and 1974. The records of the Election Commission of Bangladesh also make an interesting study. In .

1991, the electoral roll of Bangladesh had 6,21,81,745 voters but, during their revision undertaken in 1995, the commission had to delete the names of 61,65,567 voters from the electoral rolls/ apparently because these people were no longer livingwithin Bangladesh. Again, in June 1996, the commission .

removed the names of nearly 120,000 Bangladeshi citizens from the country's electoral rolls. These people were not disappearing into thin air -they were moving towards the conttguousstates of India. .

of Bangladesh, suggested that 'our bulging population might find a welcome inadjacent lands inhabited by kindred people. .

:,... Editor of English Daily "Sentinel", D N Bezboruah's_observations are telling: "The all-consuming problem of Bangladesh is its monstrous population growth and the rapidly shrinking ltving .

space for its people. And yet, it wtll do nothing to reduce this abnormal population .

growth, beyond expecting neighboring countries to absorb its overflow of population.And since Muslim personal law sanctions a plurality of wives, it has become virtually impossible for this theocratic .

state to enjoin on its people the need to limit their families. So it rationalizes this burgeoning population pressure and the resultant poverty with the most speoous and outlandish arguments about colonial exploitation and the conspiracy of more.

affluent neighboring countries to treat Bangladesh as a market for their goods without offering any quid pro quo. And all the .

while, all the problems of Bangladesh and its insidious expansionist designs are hung on the convenient peg of religion." ,.. The Election Commissioner, SL Shakdher, sounded the alarm bell at a conference of chief electoral officers of slates in .

1978, when he made the following observations: "In one case (Assam], the population in 1971 census recorded an increase as high as 34.98% over 1961 census figures and this figure was attributed to the mflux of very large number .

of persons .

from foreign countries. The influx has become a regular feature ...a stage would be reached when that state may have to .

reckon with the foreign nationals who may in all probability constitute a sizeable percentage if not the majority of populotion.

in the State.'' .

~During the period 1971-1991, Assam's population increased from about 15 million to about 23 million. Out of .

this, while the non-Muslim population grew at the rate of 45.39 per cent that of the Muslims rose by 77.42 percent. During 1981-1991, the three border districts of Dhubri (71 per cent), Cachar (56 per cent) and Karimganj{58 per cent) recorded a very high increase in the Muslim population. No census was held in Assam in 1981. ~The provisions of the notorious .

IMDT Act, 1983 (now declared void/unconstitutional or ultra vires by the Supreme Court of India in 2005 and censuring the lackadaisical attitude of both Centre and the State Govt andalsc:> condemning the Central Govt being failed to protect Asom from External (Demographic) Invasion as perArtcle 3~5) are ~eav.ily tilted in favour of illegal immigrants: (a) every npplicalion rnade agamst any person is to beaccomp~nte? by afftdav1ts sworn by no fewer than two persons residing within the jurisdiction of the same pol1.
