*"Just as the silly question - who is an Assamese - is now being solemnly
debated, questions scarcely less silly challenging the identity or even the
very right of existence of every one of these tribal communities are not
unlikely in the future, if this trends continue. The implications of such
provocative challenges and inevitable responses that await them are too grim
to contemplate."   -M.S. PRABHAKARA*

This is an interesting article on Tribal identities in Assam and gives us an
idea why there is "*The `ethnic clashes' reported from Assam are in fact
targeted killings intended to destroy systematically groups perceived as the
`other'." MSP*
