      Editor,

      The reservation mechanism has allowed political parties to sit up and take deep interests all round, especially with the roster system now being thrown back into the legislative arena to decide the best outcome.

      Notwithstanding the issue, the truth is that the Garo community has been sidelined to a certain extent in all these past 50 years by their very own representatives and the “imagination” that has been put up is that the Khasi-Jaintia community has taken the cream of all development across all seven districts.

      The crux of all this is because our very own Khasi legislators have no courage to stand up to what is right because they “fear” of antagonising the other community they love money, power and are self centric. When it comes to the crunch and rights we need people who would stand up for what is right and wrong and not just gobble up what is dished out.

      The Garos need their rights to be rightful and so do the Khasis who are well within their constitutional boundaries. A section of the Garos have now demanded a separate State in their overall interest which democratic and their constitutional right to take it up to the highest echelons of the country.

      A separate Khasi and Garo State would be the only way forward towards solving the conflicting interests and both sides should resolve positively.
