Hello and welcome to the eighth episode of our podcast.
In this episode, we are talking about AFSPA EXTENDED IN ASSAM. The state has been declared a “disturbed area” on account of recent insurgent attacks on security forces in the Northeast and recovery of illegal arms and ammunition from different areas of Assam. Many civil society groups and activists have been demanding the withdrawal of the draconian law from the state. Many civil society groups and activists have been demanding the withdrawal of the draconian law from the state. The AFSPA, which empowers security forces to conduct operations, arrest anyone anywhere without prior notice, has been continuing in Assam since November 1990. It is renewed every six months.

At the time of independence and after independence, and awareness of isolation began to rise among the Assamese. ! Discovery of oil in several areas of upper Assam in the late 1960s pushed up the crude oil production figure to an average of 3.5 million tons per year. From 1970 onwards, the figure touched 5 million tons per year. ! However, the royalty paid by the center to Assam was not satisfactory. The state government and people of Assam demanded to raise the royalty. However, the central government refused the state government’s demand for the revision of royalty on crude oil. As a result, the feeling spread among the people of the state that the center was merely exploiting the resources of the region without considering Assam’s ever-deteriorating economic situation.
Assamese became aware that along with economic exploitation by the center, they had to face the forthcoming danger of being a minority in their own state. !

Moreover, Bengali Muslims who had initially identified themselves as the Assamese speaking population began to register themselves as Bengali speaking people especially between 1971 and 1991. This led to an increase in tensions in the region
