Umesh: do you not have any other work? The term Adivasi is a north Indian term, not prevalent in Assam and the fact that the Association is called Adivasi Association indicates who are the people fomenting trouble in Assam. And, sitting out there you ought to have waited for the facts to filter before taking the easy way out of posting a dubious news item on the net to misled others.
One of the problem was that the police took a long time to get into action and the statement in the news that "city police sprung into action and dispersed the Adivasi people from the protest rally site" is not true. In fact the frequent use of the term Adivasi in the news item itself is mischievous, with the intent of creating a divide. Sitting in the comforts of the US, please at least try to do something constructive, instead of spreading canards. I never expected you to indulge in such things.
