Abstract:Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist has been hailed as a book that has transformed the lives of millions of people for the better. In fact, it is more a self-help book than a novel. In it, Coelho has focused on the art of living: how to make life interesting by following one's dream. He asserts that one has to discover one's personal legend or the very purpose of being. With the support of the philosophy and psychology of Alchemy, which is basically an art as well as science of personal transformation, the underlying idea being as lead is transformed/evolved into gold (i.e., lead's full potential), similarly all human beings are capable of selfactualization or realizing their full potential. Coelho believes that paying heed to one's unconscious, which manifests itself in forms like dreams, myths, omens and symbols, one should undertake the journey of life with love and care. One has to pay the price for one's dream. The novelist lays emphasis on taking decisions: one should not be deterred by various formidable obstacles that come one's way. Coelho claims that actually the greatest secret of success in life is love, for it is at the root of personal transformation and collective evolution

Abstract: Assam holds and supports a large proportion of tribal population, highly differentiated in terms of ethno-lingual characteristics as well as economic responses to their habitats. Ethnic violence, which has become endemic to the states of postcolonial Northeast India especially Assam, has often targeted people of migrant origin as foreigners or illegal immigrants to sent them back to their lands of origin. The Muslim and Hindu Bangladeshi migrant who have been migrating to Northeast India since the colonial times have mingled with the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society of the region. Settled in almost all the states of the region they have, in recent times, been frequently identified as foreigners as their growing numbers have become a threat to the ethnicity. Immigrants from both Nepal and Bangladesh have created a cause of concern for the indigenous ethnic tribal population in different sphere. An attempt is made in this paper to examine different growth pattern among the tribal living in the state and also the migrated population which is growing in an alarming rate. This paper looks at the conflict-induced displacement of the Bangladeshi in Assam. Moreover, government also has not taken step to reduce the inflow, which has induced demographic problem in the region and raised question on government concern for the ethnic groups. The paper also looks at the long term effect of migration on culture, social and economic demographic and political instability in the region.
