"I do not want bombs, guns or violence. I want students from all commuities to live together and study well. This is the India of my dream," says 14-year-old Biswajit Bhuiyan.
Bhuiyan lives in a SOS Village in Guwahati along with several other children who have lost their parents.
Many children in the North-East have lost their parents to violence yet together they make sure that their dreams are not fractured.
"A child can only be happy when there is no violence. If their parents die in the violence, a child is the sufferer. A child is always the basic sufferer," says Subash Kaul, Director of the SOS Village.
Far removed from the madness of the violence, the children are holding on to each other. They are curious about the camera in as much as they are curious about the world.
Not just in Assam, across the North-East it is this pleasant inquisitiveness and energy that gives hope that no dream will be lost.
"Government should provide incentives for students to study," says another child while a girl students wants teh government to have better healthcare facilities.
And the citizens of the brave new world are leaving no moment idle to kickstart their dreams.
