[Assam] assam Digest, Vol 29, Issue 13/Avibasi politics

[Krishnendu Chakraborty]

I own a Flat in Mumbai and never had any problem for
being non-local.  My brother-in-law (from Guwahati)
owns a flat as well as a small plot of land in
Bangalore .... again with no humiliation/rape/burning
of house etc.

I know scores of people all around India who have
settled there as Non-Local  but  never heard of such
problem for being non-local

Can someone explain the huge discrepancy here?
