Bodos and the other plains tribal people
of Assam have thousands of problems such
as on language, literary, economy, land,
education, socio-culture, job, development
etc., another basic problems of the Bodos
and other tribals are crisis of identity,
question of survival and political security.
Out of those thousands of problems, the
All Bodo Students' Union has raised only
92 demands and submitted memorandum to the
Chief Minister and Governor of Assam. Of
course, the numerous problems and grievances
of the Bodos and other plains tribals have
been reflected through these 92 demands
also. No doubt, the 92-point demand memorandum
submitted to the Chief Minister and Governor
of Assam is an important and charter or
manifesto showing the burning problems and
the genuine aspirations of the Bodos of
the world and the other plains tribals of
Assam. The 92 Point Memorandum bears the
testimony of how the Bodos and other plains
tribals are suffering from wants, decimations,
injustices, insecurity and tortures etc.
