SUBJECT: ULFA AGAIN TARGETS HINDI SPEAKING MIGRANTS WHILE RESENTMENT 
AGAINST BANGLADESHIS GROWS 
 
REF: CALCUTTA 00010 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  In the run-up to India's Independence Day on 
August 15, insurgents from the United Liberation Front of Asom 
(ULFA) and Karbi Longri National Liberation Front (KLNLF) have 
killed at least 27 Hindi-speaking migrants in the Northeast 
Indian state of Assam.  Simultaneously with this violence 
against "mainland" Indians, Northeast Indian youth organizations 
from states sharing borders with Assam have been evicting 
Bengali speaking settlers - allegedly Bangladeshis.  While ULFA 
tries to pretend that they are protecting Assamese sovereignty, 
there is a real concern among some ethnic groups in the 
Northeast that Bangladeshis are encroaching into their states. 
End summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) Since August 4, attacks in Assam on Hindi-speaking 
people who are mostly from Bihar have left at least 27 dead in 
the tribal Karbi Anglong district.  ULFA and the KLNLF are 
reportedly behind the attacks.  Over 30,000 Hindi-speaking 
migrants live in the Karbi Anglong area.  On August 8, a group 
of about 20 KLNLF and ULFA raided the Ampathar village 
(inhabited by Bihari farmers) and opened fire, killing 8 people 
including 3 women and 2 children.  On August 11, a group of 
about 15 KLNLF attacked four Hindi-speaking families of Rang 
Teron village, killing 14 and injuring three others.  On August 
12, KLNLF militants shot four more Hindi-speaking persons from 
two families in the Bokajan area.  Bihar Chief Minister Nitish 
Kumar has asked the GOI to intervene and ensure the safety of 
Biharis in Assam. 
 
3.  (SBU) A senior police official from Assam told Post that 
with security forces stepping up security in ULFA's routine 
areas of operation prior to Independence Day, ULFA's 27th and 
28th battalions selected the "soft target" of Karbi Anglong's 
remote areas to conduct their attacks on the Biharis.   ULFA has 
long demanded a "sovereign Assam," and conducted violent 
campaigns against Hindi-speakers from mainland India in the 
past.  In early 2007, ULFA killed more than 60 migrants in 
separate attacks in Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and Sivsagar districts 
of Assam (reftel).  Now, during the run-up to India's 
Independence Day celebrations on August 15, ULFA is repeating 
its campaign of ethnic violence.  The GOI generally has 
encouraged ULFA to come forward for peace talks over the years, 
but ULFA has remained adamant in its demand for negotiations on 
the sovereignty issue, which has effectively stymied the peace 
process. 
 
4.  (SBU) Simultaneously, since July 10, Assam has witnessed an 
influx of 4,000-5,000 Bengali speaking people from the 
neighboring states of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. 
These migrants were driven out by aggressive youth organizations 
who branded them as "foreigners" from Bangladesh.  The Northeast 
Students Organization, the All Assam Students' Union, and other 
youth groups also accused the Congress-led Assam government of 
bowing to the "Bangladeshi lobby" by allowing illegal migrants 
to settle in Assam and in the border areas of neighboring 
states.  Assam officials, however, told Post that those pushed 
back into Assam recently are actually Indian citizens who have 
been erroneously branded foreigners. 
 
5.  (SBU) Comment:  Many officials in Assam feel that the 
violence against Hindi-speaking Indian migrants in Assam is 
simply typical ULFA violence that occurs around symbolic Indian 
holidays.  Tellingly, ULFA does not target other "foreigners" 
such as the Bangladeshis who live in Assam and the Northeast, 
giving credence to the oft-repeated GOI suspicion that ULFA 
leadership resides in Bangladesh at the pleasure of the 
Bangladeshi government.  The pushback against Bangladeshi 
migrants in other parts of the Northeast, however, demonstrates 
the continuing resentment toward Bangladeshis, who are perceived 
to be encroaching on land and jobs in the Northeast.
