Statement by Sustha Samaj Bikash Chakra (SSBC) on KARBI ANGLONG and NALBARI
“Karbi Chinese Go Back” – A Dangerous New Low
The slogan “Karbi Chinese Go Back” raised in Karbi Anglong, targeting indigenous Karbis in the Kheroni area and the dastardly attacks on Christmas celebrations by Bajrang Dal members in Nalbari, have laid bare the utter failure of the current government to protect the rights of the Indigenous Peoples of Karbi Anglong and also the Constitutional rights of the citizens at Nalbari. Sustha Samaj Bikash Chakra, a registered Trust comprising concerned Intellectuals and Social Activists, working on raising democratic consciousness in Assam, strongly condemns the growing communalism in Assam under the political legitimacy and impunity provided by the ruling BJP.
As reported widely in the media, Karbi Anglong today faces an alarming demographic and political situation, with Karbi speakers reportedly forming only around 35% of the total population, reducing the indigenous community to a minority within an area originally carved out under the Sixth Schedule precisely to ensure their safety, security, and self-governance. This is not a matter of mere arithmetic but a systematic and deliberate dilution of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC), as there are now non-tribal members, including at least two from the BJP. This signals a dangerous trend towards normalising and legitimising the inclusion of non-tribals in institutions meant for tribal self-governance, thereby undermining the very purpose of the Autonomous Council.
The ill intent of the Himanta Biswa Sarma–led government is evident from its callous disregard of the 15-day-long peaceful hunger strike undertaken by Karbi leaders, demanding protection of tribal “land commons” – the Village Grazing Reserves (VGRs) and Professional Grazing Reserves (PGRs) – from illegal influx and encroachment. The state government had ample opportunity to resolve the issue through dialogue and timely administrative action before the situation turned violent, but instead chose apathy and delay. Although a tripartite talk briefly raised hopes, by the next morning, it became clear that the government had failed, or refused, to address the core demands of the people.
There is growing evidence from the ground pointing to the fact that there is a deepening conspiracy to hand over the protected land of the Sixth Schedule areas to corporate interests, especially crony capitalists close to those in power. Across Assam, a pattern is emerging in which tribal lands, commons, forests, and community resources are being opened up for large corporate projects under the guise of “development”, bypassing the consent and rights of the indigenous communities. According to public reports, Ambuja Cement (now Adani-owned) has been allotted around 750 bighas of land, approximately 9,000 bighas have been earmarked for limestone mining, and another 3,000 bighas for Mahabal Cement, all within the fragile and ecologically sensitive hill district of Dima Hasao. These allocations, whether directly or indirectly linked to Adani interests, represent a massive transfer of tribal land to corporate control through decisions taken in opaque ways and without the transparent consent of the affected communities.
Such corporate land grabs in Sixth Schedule areas not only violate the spirit of the Constitution but also undermine the Forest Rights Act, Panchayati Raj and Autonomous Council norms, and the basic principle that tribal land and commons are not commodities to be traded and bartered away by governments. The emerging alliance between communal polarisation on the ground and corporate capture of land at the top constitutes a grave danger to the future of indigenous communities in Assam and the entire North East India. Thus, the emboldened aggression carried out with complete impunity against the Christian community by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal in Nalbari suggests patronage by the State. It is reprehensible, but also aimed at diverting public attention from the ongoing mercenary corporate land grab agenda.
In the light of this, SSBC demands that:
A. All land allotments in Sixth Schedule areas – including in Karbi Anglong, Dima Hasao, and BTR – shall be subjected to an immediate, transparent review with full disclosure of beneficiaries, terms, and legal basis.
B. The political and physical targeting of indigenous Karbis and other tribes through communal slogans and racist labelling like “Karbi Chinese” will not be tolerated on any account, and stringent permanent retributive actions will have to be taken against such racist and communal perpetrators under the law of the land.
C. All the perpetrators of the Nalbari attack on Christmas celebrations should be immediately brought to book and punished according to the law.
SSBC also strongly demands that a new, purified electoral roll in all Autonomous Councils of Assam, as envisaged under the spirit of the Sixth Schedule, must be prepared, recognising the rights of indigenous tribes as well as long-settled non-tribal residents whose ancestors lived in these areas prior to 1951, while preventing demographic engineering and recent influx from diluting tribal self-governance.
