Supremely beautiful place bordering Bhutan- the Manas Wild Life Sanctuary is famed for one-horned rhino and many other life-forms. It is sadly being polluted by evil people killing teenage boys. Illegal migrants or no, the govt has a duty of care to protect people.
For the majority communities everywhere tolerance for minorities is a lesson that must be learned (the easy way or the hard way). Killing people is soul destroying. Every religion, all big men (and women) agree. Kicking out the short-term minded criminal goons (aka politicians) will help.
Look to Iraq and learn not to live in a divided house. Learn from the animal kingdom if you have to. And if you do not learn you will never prosper. Never.
How about the minorities? We propose a silver bullet: give freedom to the women to live life as they please. Yes, some girls may marry outside the community (no coercion allowed in either direction). In the worst case scenario the minority will be merged in the melting pot. So what? Is multi-generational life in a ghetto any way to live?
