P: That's what State says but I don't know. k
K: I appreciate this and it's one of those situations where we have trouble finding
assessment
out what's going on. Our is the same as yours.

a few thousand people, they will become docile and collagse.
K: You think it's wrong?
P: I do. They are hard to gov ern and have history of guerrillarism.
K: Once they are independent the W. Bengali's will be more trouble for the
Indians.

Don't want to be dominated from Calcutta. An Axelite movement on both sides
of the frontier. These people organized for
and small scale guerilla
