This is just unbelievable!
However not everything in this report makes ordinary sense.
Something is missing. I don't believe Adivasis would have started an
attack without some provocation from some quarter. Their numbers were
not that great for them to start such a war deliberately, knowing
that they were far from home.
Question is if we will learn the full story and when?

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.
