The Thousand Mutinies of Assam

The geographical spread of militancy in Assam was evident with a series of strikes by militant groups in Upper as well as Lower Assam and capital Guwahati. The Karbi Anglong district was in the lime light with a number of attacks by the ULFA and its Karbi affiliate - KLNLF striking at migrant Hindi speaking labour. The ULFA also struck in other parts of the state with a series of bomb attacks. Other groups such as the DHD were active in North Cachar while fears of Islamic fundamentalist organizations as the HUJI using eviction of Muslim population from Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh to Assam as an excuse to retaliate came to the fore. The disquiet along Assam’s border with Nagaland was also evident with students on both sides wanting to assert their will.
