From the Core of Darkness...

What is the sin of 165 families living in the darkness of Joyma Camp? Are they Criminals, Bangladeshi Infiltrators or borne as MUSLIMS? Reasons are Many, Choice is Yours...

 
Joyma Camp is a small village reflecting the darkness and neglection of
society and a live proof of our tormented democracy. According to our constitution, everyone irrespective of caste, religion or region has right to education, right to food and right to privacy, but what is the reason of deprivation in Joyma Camp.  Why people are in so much threat that they do not want their land, capital or file a legal case against their loss.
The question, why are they not willing to go back and want to stay in this village where roof, proper sanitation and meal a challenge. For these people, home, education for children, safety for their women and enough money to feed their family is like a dream. And, they have some sort of believe that dream will not come true because our educated and well informed people still pre-categorized them as outsiders.  
Discussing role of media, the main aim is to maintain harmony and peace in our country. But, our media should realise that covering such location or revealing the problems of most vulnerable community or exposing the truth does not mean you are Anti-Nationalist or Pro-Muslims.
Looking forward:
As promised, Sarvana Kumar, Project Manager of Assam & Central Zone inaugurated Community Centre of Rehab India Foundation at Joyma Camp of Kokrajhar District, Assam on August 19, 2013.
Mr. Kumar shared his concern and said, “I am very much disappointed that these people are living in a miserable condition. Our team tried to convince to go back to their home, but they are not willing to move. As per need and requirement, Rehab India Foundation has planned to run Village Development Programme under fifth phase of Calamity Relief Programme and will try their best to touch all the necessary development programmes be it education, health or economic development. To add to it, we are happy to share that as part of educare, total 60 children have enrolled in L0 & L1.”
