| Continuing attacks on Hindi-speaking people in Assam, ULFA and Karbi Longri National Liberation Front (KLNLF) militants shot dead four persons in Karbi-Anglon district. Police said 12 heavily armed militants kidnapped four persons, including a woman, from upper Dehori and Rongbong Hat villages on Saturday night. They were taken to an isolated place near Rongbong Hat Tiniali and shot dead, they said. Sixteen Hindi-speaking people, including two women and six children, were killed and 13 others seriously injured in three joint attacks by ULFA and KLNLF militants in the same district on Friday night. With today's killing, the toll of Hindi-speaking people killed over the last two days has climbed to 20. |

| #4 But as it now stands, it is illegal immigrants who are changing the demography. The biggest slum in Delhi is practically an enclave of Bangladesh. |

| #3 India has generally discouraged changing of the demographic character of the north east states. As in Kashmir, outsiders can't own land in several of the NE states. This was done by Nehru to protect the NE tribals from an influx of settlers. They also feared Indian logging companies would move in. Many of these people have a communal land owning system (the tribe rather than an individual owns the land) and it was feared that outsiders would take advantage of them. India doesn't behave like China does with its Han settlers. If it did, Kashmir would not be majority Muslim, Nagaland would not be majority Christian and migrants from the Indian cowbelt (UP, Bihar etc) would flood all these places |

| #2 People that do sh$$ like this don't deserve a state. In fact, they don't deserve to live. Maybe India needs to import some Mongols to Assam. |

| #1 The ULFA are engaged in ethic cleansing of Biharis not for the sake of ethnic Assamese, but to allow further illegal immigration (of Muslim Bengalis) from Bangladesh. |
