Now, with regard to the amendment of my Friend Mr. Brajeshwar Prasad, this is the one amendment I think in which so far as I am concerned, I, feel that he has urged some serious argument. He says that the whole of the tribal area should be lifted from the Province of Assam and should be made a Centrally administered area, because there cannot be any other effect of the amendment which he has put forward except the one which I have suggested. It means practically constituting the area as a Centrally administered area. But he seems to have forgotten two things. The first is this. Although we have constituted autonomous districts for the purpose of the satisfaction of the tribal people living in those areas that they will have, at any rate for the first ten years, autonomy in the matter of the government of their areas, we have nowhere provided that the autonomous districts shall not constitute part of the province of Assam. That being so, it is very difficult to leave part of the Province to be governed by the Governor of the province and part of the province to be administered as a Centrally administered area.
