I scoured through several newspapers to get a little more detail on the battle in Beltola. The English dailies from Guwahati did not have enough English to describe it and the national dailies did not have the room to cover it. I found the following website to be of some help. So I am sharing it with my NRA netters. I request the netters from Guwahati to tell us if this Assamese newspaper is stating the facts. I'd also like to know who the local residents of Beltola (who took part in the battle) are - the non-Assamese traders who occupy the streets, the original inhabitants of Beltola, or the Assamese middle class who migrated to Guwahati and bought land in the area. http://www.dainikagradoot.com/mainnews1.htm Dilip Deka
