Such a misguided podcast. As a native i am speechless with all the twisted information made into a " according to our convenience" narrative and its sad that a native was not asked to speak about the issue. The natives know ,we know,what we are suffering but yeah media houses will show according to their biases ofcourse. But the reality should be looked at with eyes open and with an open mind to listen to the native voices. And yeah please call spade a spade. Bengali Muslims occupy land overnight, everyone knows they are Bangladeshis. Dhubri is gone, Barpeta is gone, the whole lower assam is slowly getting changed demographically and oh they can't see. The upper Assam people are fighting hard and i hope they keep up the fight. It has started happening even in Deepor Bill,Azara and these people idk why they don't see the fact as fact. Stop defending illegal migrants just for the sake of votes common.

The problems of Assam were never considered India’s problems, nor were the issues of the Northeast seen as a national concern. From Nehru’s era and the letter bomb incident to the present Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), little has changed. Assamese society was divided along ethnic lines(accords, schedules, ST to a few and lolipop to some), reducing the Assamese people to a minority. It is only a matter of time before the actual Assamese population may be absorbed and acculturated. Efforts have already been made by the upper-class Assamese-speaking people to alter the very definition of what it means to be Assamese.

Can't agree more . Every Assamese "khati axomiya" deep knows it's just a ticking time bomb that we will be the minority and we have to maybe run away soon from our houses. It's a sad thing that the newer generations feel it is cool to not know the mother tongue too@@outraZed

Cringe. The audacity & condescension to talk about Assam without any indigenous Assamese living & working in Assam in your panel. This is what amounts to non partisan journalism? Truly mind boggling.

What was Muslim % in 1960 and in 2000? This data should have been the starting point of discussion.

Few Facts: 👉 Assam’s Muslim population grew at 29.59 % which is 3 times higher that of Hindu Population growth (10.9%) 👉 India’s Muslim population grew 24.6% as against the 16.8% growth in Hindu population in the decade ending in 2011. 👉 Muslims are the fastest-growing religious group globally, according to a 2015 report by the American think tank Pew Research Centre. 👉 Muslim women have an average of 2.9 children while non-Muslims have an average of 2.2 children globally.

It's not only the Bengali speaking Muslims, Bengali Hindus, Marwaris, Hindi speaking people from north India all are subjected to humiliation at the hands of the chavanistic majority of Assam. There are mushrooming ethnic youth organisations claiming to represent their respective ethnic groups going berserk, extorting from non-Assamese poor hawkers and small shop keepers and the government, civil society, politicians, intellectuals, and the local administration prefer too look the other way when these illegal things happen with impunity. Sorry state of affairs in Assam.

Sorry to disagree as a native from there we have suffered horribly and we still do with the illegal occupancy of infiltrators.

Ongoing process of looting of Assam resources by migrant and immigrate people has reached to a level that they think they are natives . Assamese people have suffered a lot. Nothing can be compensate for the immense of Assamese people, if you taken a pound of flesh , you have to pay with hundreds pound of flesh. Jai ya Assom.

I have enjoyed this discussion thoroughly... thank you to all of you. I belong to Meghalaya and if Assam feels alienated by mainland India...one can but imagine how much more of that alienation is felt by the remaining NE states.. but that is not my point...my point is that Meghalaya has had to live with the chakma infiltration since the late 80s but nobody in the centre has batted an eye...is that merely because the chakmas are inherently Buddhists? Should the same rule not apply to everyone who infiltrates irrespective of their religion?
