Abstract

Assam has suffered enough and it does not need to suffer more, the beautiful state of Assam, its beautiful landscape, annually destroyed by the floods in the Brahmaputra valley, and is currently effected with widespread fear and insecurity and trauma. This could lead to ruptures in the society of this sensitive and strategic border state in northeast of India. The current crisis going in Assam revolves around 2 issues which have hit the states and people’s identity the National Register of Citizen (NRC) and the proposed citizenship amendment bill, 2016. When the term ‘MIGRANT’ is coined there are many terms and phrases that come in one’s mind – mass exodus, violence, human rights, national security, etc. Sometimes, the word refugee is confused with the term migrant. The Amendment Bill has used very confusing language, there is no clarity in its wording and hence it creates confusion.
