What is the cause and effect of racial conflict in India? Is there a serious racial conflict in India now?

The conflict originated from the fact that two Muslim students were attacked and injured by unknown people in southern Assam, and four retired soldiers of the local Boluo indigenous group were shot and killed soon, which triggered retaliatory attacks between local Muslim immigrants and indigenous residents and eventually led to an escalation of violence.

Violent conflict not only paralyzed the central railway system connecting northeastern India and other regions, but also stranded about 30,000 passengers, which made the life of Assam residents who had just suffered from floods worse.

It can be seen that the immigration problem is the root of the continuous ethnic conflicts in Assam. Geographically, the western part of the state borders Bhutan and Bangladesh respectively, and has been plagued by immigration problems for many years. The BBC reported that there are many indigenous peoples in Assam, and the local people, mainly the indigenous people in Boluo, have always been dissatisfied with Muslim immigrants and think that they have violated their land. Some radical indigenous groups have also set up a separatist organization "Assam United Liberation Front", demanding that the central government deprive Muslim immigrants of many rights. In order to protect their rights and interests, Muslim immigrants later established the "Assam United Democratic Front", and the contradictions between the two sides intensified.

Some analysts believe that poverty is the reason for the deepening of ethnic conflicts in northeastern India. Assam, as one of the poorest areas in India, has many difficulties in economic development. Tea planting is an important pillar of the state's economy, but violent conflicts often cut off traffic, and tea transportation has become a major problem.

There are many races and races in India. It can be said that without democracy, India would have disintegrated long ago. This ethnic conflict and its consequences should be the most serious in recent years.
