Assam one of the eight states of Northeast India is a culturally diverse region of our country. It is home to different tribal as well as non-tribal people. Globalization has made a significant impact on the life and culture of the people of Assam. To promote globalization, Indian government has maintained good trade relationship with neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Bangladesh through different corridors in Assam.

However, from past few decades, there has been increase in large number of illegal migration to Bodoland from Bangladesh. In fear of losing their ancestral land to migrated people, Bodo’s which are indigenous tribe in Bodoland have started conflicts with these migrated communities.
