The Stateless People In Assam
The NRC is not going to decide on the fate of more than 300,000 people who have either been declared foreigners or have cases pending against them in special courts.

Eight months ago, when I first visited Assam, I started to study the issues of Assam, NRC and D-voters problem. SIO had decided to send a team led by me, to study the situation on ground. We were there for a week and met intellectuals, advocates, social activists, leaders of various organizations and common people who are the real victims of the state and by the state. The detailed fact-finding report will be released soon, but here I intend to bring to light issues that many legal citizens of India face in Assam and that most Indians are unaware of.

The content below is a discussion with various people, and few of our observations.

History of Assam:

The British took over Assam in 1826 after the Yandabo Treaty, and then different groups of people were invited to Assam for its economic development. People of Bengal were educated and aware of English language, they were called to manage the administrative sections such as revenue, post office, railways, banks, etc. Later this group merged themselves with Assamese community who were earlier migrants from Bengal, Orissa, and Kanauj (dist of UP).

Another group was invited by Britishers from Bihar, Jharkhand and some parts of U.P for developing tea cultivation specially and this group now constitutes the labor population of Assam.

To meet the food needs of the two migrant groups and the British, Muslims of East Bengal, famous for cultivation skills, were brought to Assam, which had suitable land for cultivation and also rich in natural resources, and put to work for the production of food, vegetables and jute.

Original Assamese accepted the first group of people from Bengal, who are now part of intellectuals of the Assamese and also the second group of migrants as workers, majority of whom belongs to scheduled tribes. But the people who were brought to feed the above two groups were termed as foreigners (Muslims who were invited from East bengal before 1930’s are now termed as illegal migrants or foreigners).

So many lies in a couple of sentences but it is expected from a SIO posterboy having an ulterior motive.

Fact of the matter is that the British imposed Bengali in Assam over Assamese back then and all the government transactions could only be conducted via it. Therefore it was natural that Bengalis had to be brought here for administrative posts and they were in an advantageous position to secure lucrative jobs. They even went to the lenghts of educating pupils and conducting job recruitments in Bengali and Assamese as a language and medium of education was neglected.

By the time this mindless decision was reversed few decades later irreparable damage was done already.

Wrong again! It is the third group(miyas) who infiltrated clandestinely to increase their population manifolds and tried to alter the demography and committed crimes against the natives.

All this even as the miyas were at the forefront as allies with the Assamese nationalists to target the Bengali Hindus during the era of Bongal Kheda and Axom Andolan(one of the first recognised martyrs being a miya). Miyas were the ones who would help the protestors identify the houses of Bengali speaking Hindus and in many cases resort to violence.

Contrary to the false propaganda of the miya sympathisers like the Syed guy, it was the first group(BH) who refused to accept Axomiya and were considered foreigners. Miyas pretended to accept the Assamese way of life for which they were dubbed na-asomiyas.

This unholy nexus between the miyas and AASU are known to all in Assam. The same people who would swarm the streets rallying against CAB will not utter a word against the crimes committed by the miyas. Not for nothing are the AASU being made irrelevant by us disgruntled Axomiyas.
