Ethnic Violence in Assam: an Essay on the Conflicts Between Bodo Community And Bengali Speaking Muslims In The Years 2012 And 2014.

This paper tries to explore the conflicts and its impacts of the ethnic violence between the Bodo community and Bengali speaking Muslims in the state of Assam. The violence that has been taking place since early post-independence of the country has badly hindered development in the region. Using both structured and semi structured open ended interview method, I have tried to find out the reasons resulting in violence and its impacts that these violence have left in the society. The interviews have brought the conclusion that losing of land, cultural identities, neglect, deprivation and showing of power has  resulted in the violence which have given nothing but destruction and underdevelopment.
