Cong ignored chicken's neck, left northeast vulnerable: CM Sarma
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|May 14, 2025
The Siliguri Corridor, is often described as India's Achilles heel in terms of national security
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said that the foreign policy decision taken in 1971 after the Liberation War to create another country resulted in ignoring the issue of Chickens Neck which left North East region vulnerable.
In a critique of the Congress party's foreign policy decisions, Sarma reignited the decades-old debate on India's strategic approach during and after the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
Referring to the recently launched #OperationSindoor initiative — a social media campaign celebrating India's military and strategic strength — Sarma demanded that the Congress clarify its stance on the critical decisions made during that pivotal moment in South Asian history.

Shelved Knowledge
Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia. Two centuries on, an Indian school-leaver can recite Newton's three laws and the Krebs cycle, but has rarely been asked, even in passing, to open the Aryabhatiya, the Caraka Samhita or the Arthasastra
