The National Democratic Front of Bodoland is stick to the demand for a separate Bodoland if general secretary of the Bodo outfit Govinda Basumatary is to be believed.
Talking to a private TV news channel, the Bodo militant outfit said its as simple as that they will not drop the demand and also carry forward the peace process with the Centre. Basumatary said the they have not made this announcement while they were holding talks with the Centre on September 30 and that it was the Centre which stressed the need to expedite the peace process.
Basumatary said he was aware of the reports in a section of media that NDFB has dropped the sovereignty question and was quick to term it a conspiracy. He hoped that a political solution to the 22-year long political struggle for a separate Bodoland will be possible.
The Bodo insurgent outfit signed a ceasefire pact with the government three years ago. Since then, the Centre has extended the ceasefire term for several times and has been trying to wash its hands off. On September 30, it was extended for another period of three months. The outfit observed its 22nd raising Day at the designated camp at Borbori.

Dear Sir,
Its in need for everyone of Bodo community to look back to there history and go forward. From the time immemorial we the great Bodo communiy has been dominated by other people like Assamesse.History tells that we had our own king and kingdom. We had our ouw state. Therefore it is our right to fight to get back our lost world. Bodoland is not only for NDFBs. NDFB alone can't bring land if they lack mass support. Its time for we common people to think and decide for our ouw future. Things are going on changing. Everything will be impossible if we are not aware of the present demand. Gun alone can't do anything. Though the NDFB's are in ceasefire for about last three years it seems meaningless without any progress. If they want a real success of their job they must have to be more active in doing every. Let them remaimber the proverb "Everything is realy difficult before it comes to be easy".
With love and respect
A. Swargiary, Shillong.

Hi Guys,
With repect to the comments of Ananta Swargiary and L Boro(myself being Bodo find difficult to spell n write the name L Boro,SORRY),i dont agree and totally disagree which is meaningless point.No one is dominating any community.Every community have equal rights to develop,there are lots of bodo and other tribals who are doing well economically and socially.If one cant stand on ones foot no one will pull to stand.To say correctly as Ananta mentioned about bodo kingdom,can u point out which part was ruled by bodos??Whole assam and parts of West Bengal & bangladesh have bodo communities.if u want separate state demand for whole region.
From my knowledge,NDFB is basically supported by christian missionaries and want to curve out region like nagaland,Meghalaya for spreading christianity.
To L Boro,what identity u want??Do u think having separate state will preserve your identity.No one is forcing on bodos to change identity at gunpoint??Instead of destructive thought,think of constuctive to develop the bodo community.

Congratulations to Shweta Swargiary...
This is what is called the 21st century thinking. This is what is called being Cosmopolitan in Thinking. Unfortunately, in North East India, cosmopolitanism and modernity lies only in the clothes or branded dresses and shoes and accessories.
Bodos should spread out all over Assam and neighbouring areas like the Ahoms did and are doing now. Why only Bodoland? Spread wings to the world...

Many people say manything about Bodo group organization but our target is only one that is to have a seperate state for bodos. All the organizations either BLT, NDFB, or ABSU, have the same goal but in different ideology.Today we have gone far away from that goal.MAny innocent people have lost their lives because of misunderstanding to whom they are fighting for? They lost their hope and aspirations. What was our main gaol? Our main demand was seprat state for bodos. What I would like to say here is all must work for the Bodo people, work for development of the bodos. Work without bloodshed with peacful means. Form a strong political party for Bodos. So that we can occupy many seats and have the power in goverment fortpolio then we can achieve our real goal.

Hi guys
I don't agree with shweta swargiary more or less.she/he don't know who was bodo.It is sure that no community is dominating but any one can say is assamese ia a community.Assamese is a language not a community.History say there is no assamese kingdom but their was bodo kingdom,ahom kingdom etc every has their own custom.if you ask me from where to where the bodo kingdom fall better it know that our bodo kingdom is still there in dimapur(nagaland).it shows who we are and Why we are fighting for and we should unite and become a strong political party
At last i want to say that long live bodo and our bodo religion bathou
jai siju

When it comes to geo-politics, are 'children giving birth to their mothers' or 'mothers giving birth to children'....I wonder. Amusing, isn't it?
In the coming years, we will see the birth of newer mothers by 'children'.

I strongly disagree with Pallavi Barua. Who said so many funny things because Boro community is not a sub origin of Assamese people. Assam treats like step mother but we are not even step Children in reality. They came as foreigners invading our land. Thus they settled with us and ruled us. Anyway Bodoland state will be curved out of Assam either with terror or Peacefull process. Bodolkand will revive and nothing will stand our way.

Mr.Tony, are you threatening to disturb the peacefulness of Assam with your words? What more you want, Bodo language is recognised by Indian Constitution, you have Bodoland Territorial Council established under Sixth Schedule which extend over 3082 villages and the BTC has been given legislative powers over 40 subjects. Please stop threatening the integrity of Assam. By your words "Anyway Bodoland state will be curved out of Assam either with terror or Peacefull process" what are you trying to prove that you will not hesitate to shed innocent peoples blood.

Gogoi was reacting to Atanu Bhuyan hours after the senior journalist resigned alleging the attack on the media role on the molestation incident.
Was the Guwahati moleststion case was a part to taint Tarun Gogoi? Akhil Gogoi thinks so. According to the KMSS leader, the entire incident instigated by an off duty reporter of Newslive may be a part of greater conspiracy to tarnish the image of the Chief Minister only to destabilise the government. Addressing a press conference in Guwahati on Tuesday, he said that channel is owned by the wife of a powerful minister. He said the entire incident had been planned, telecast and uploaded on YouTube by the news channel with a political agenda. He further slammed the Chief Minister was for his failuyre to rein his cabinet clleagues.
Stung by widespread criticism specially after Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's office issuing a press release with the name and photograph of the young girl molested outside a pub in Guwahati, National Commission for Women chairperson Mamta Sharma is likely to visit the state in a day or two. Sarma said that the matter is very serious and that she would personally talk to the Assam Government in this regard.
KMSS firebrand Akhil Gogoi sharpens attack on Atanu Bhuyan hours after the Newslive editor in chief resigned over the molestation incident. Addressing a press conference in Guwahati on Tuesday, Gogoi welcomed the resignation and called it a good sign for the people of Assam.
He said that Bhuyan seemed more a notorious political leader and less a veteran journalist when he was addressing the media. Gogoi said that another veteran journalist Syed Zarir Hussain should also quit alleging that he was clarifying the channel’s position before the national media. He alleged that Amarjyoti Kalita still receives support from police who have asked him to escape.
The BJP on Tuesday slammed the National Commission for Women alleging that its members were passing irresponsible statements on the molestation incident. Taking as dig at the NCW, partry spokesman Nirmala Sitharaman said that the report should not have been made public even before being approved. She said that the panel has gone to Guwahati and done a disservice to the victim. She further demanded public apology from Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi over the incident and also demanded a statement from the Congress President, Sonia Gandhi for lack of proper attention.
Caught in a barrage of acrimony over the molestation case, editor-in-chief of a controversial satellite news channel quits on Tuesday. Addressing a press conference in Guwahait, Newslive chief editor Atanu Bhuyan who had videographed the molestation of a girl outside a pub in Guwahati, said that he decided to quit the job under pressure from the management. But he claimed that he would be the member of the channel’s board of directors. But he strongly defended reporter Gauravjyoti Neog a day after the off duty reporter was grilled by police for several hours.
