The Bloodlands of Assam

AUGUST 13, 2012 Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is an impotent spectator as Bodo terror confronts radicalised immigrants. Over 70 people are dead and 400,000 have been displaced.

The bloodshed in Assam is unfortunate, but the real problem lies in the perennial poverty of the region, which often leads to friction among different ethnic groups.
