Provocation from the people of Beltola area can be ruled out.
It is correct that a few people in the front of the march were indulging in
vandalism.
But why?
Because those few played in to the invisible hands of persons with a
political agenda.
Right now when Gogoideo has a stable boat, who gains immediately by
destabilizing him? This should answer the queries as to the identity of
invisible hands.
That Matang Singh's NE TV was overzealous means something, especially when he
is active as a dissident in Congress and he has a votebank in the tea-belt.
Gogoideo is quite inefficient in many respects and the inept police force
does not help his cause.

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.
