#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.

#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.

#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
