UFLA TALKS PEACE AFTER 30 YEARS OF VIOLENT INSURGENCE

New Delhi: After 30 years of violent insurgency in Assam, eight top leaders of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) have started historic peace talks with the Indian government last week.

The leaders came to New Delhi to start the peace process. ULFA's de facto spokesperson and foreign secretary Sashadhar Chowdhury, in an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN, makes his demands clear - Assam to get special status like Kashmir and no Bodoland.

The peace talks have now started but there are reasons to believe that there will be no meaningful talks till the upcoming assembly polls are held in Assam. Also, the ULFA leader denied links to Pakistan's ISI and Bangladesh's military intelligence, DGFI and the Chinese government. IBNlive

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
