Muslim threats, nationalist fantasies and the 'Great Assam Exodus'

"Violence in Assam is localised with its particular history and context," human rights activist Lenin Raghuvanshi told AsiaNews.

However, for Raghuvanshi, who is director of the People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR), such conflicts "have repercussions that explode in internal conflicts fuelled by the nationalism of fascist forces."

In his view, "India's greatest threat is an internal exodus provoked by internal nationalist groups (supporters of the Hindutva ideology) or external groups like Muslim fundamentalists."
