Encroachment in SATTRAS' land

http://amarasom.glpublications.in/Details.aspx?id=5672&boxid=114947484
It is true for all that plots of land were allotted to the Sattras(Monasteries in a sense, though not correct to the full meaning), established by the great saint ,philosopher and  philanthropic social reformer Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev and his disciples, by the government of Assam. Kings of different era who ruled the state from time to time also gifted some of these plots of lands to these Sattras during their reign.But in recent times there has been a growing inclination of some groups of different ethnicity or social organizations/ institution to forcibly occupy these lands for no good reasons. Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev preached for the egalitarianism and harmony while voting for worshipping one God. These Sattras are symbolic of a classlessness community or better against the unfair treatment because of social class. It differs in no matter of any of the famous religions of the world like Islam or Christianity. Janiya, a small quasi-urban place in the vicinity of Barpeta Town, Assam has occupied a place in the front page of the local dailies of Assam, not because of something that is praiseworthy but a most unwelcome deed of esteemed institution like Madrasa.Islam has the great teaching of Hazrat Mohammad and Islam means Peace and cohabitation with love and affection. Encroachment is considered as devils act in Islam.So in such cases the Managing Committee of Salekura Moktab Madrasa which is dedicated to the act of imparting education of Islam could have thought twice or inquired of the status of the land measuring 1 Bigha 2 Kathas and 10 lesas according to the local land measuring system before resorting to illegal occupations. Here I draw the attention of the learned men and the knowledgeable people of the Islamic community of the state and request to initiate a step towards peaceful solution of the conflict so that the institutions like Moktab Madrasa do not become tainted
