They have now asked all "Indian (hindi/non-hindi)" speakers to leave assam.
Otherwise they might get caught in the "conflict" zone - meaning the more the
army pushes, the more the non-assamese indians will be called out of their
homes and sprayed with bullets.
Guess Indophobia is more cool than Banglaphobia. Call it racism,
fundamentalism, xenophobia or what.

Subject: [Assam] Assam - 'khobor'
Is it really ULFA that is doing this? Who is going to go to Assam? Do they want
Assam to be a secluded jungle? No! anybody that loves Assam can't do this to
her, it must be somebody who wants to destroy the place.
I was trvelling to another state from Assam on Jan 8 and all national
newspapers had the same headline - about the killlings in Tinsukia(?). It was
just disgusting and I was so ashamed to see it (or think) that it was an act of
any Assamese and wrapped the paper backward and inserted into the pocket of the
front seat, and felt like being an Ostrich - all the way.
