The largest and most powerful of the northeast secessionist movements is the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA)....
Pakistan's ISI ...has facilitated cooperation between ULFA and other northeastern militant outfits with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka, Islamist militant groups in Kashmir, Islamist groups in Bangladesh and a growing number of al Qaeda-linked jihadist groups operating in the region.
Religion, ethnicity and ideology lose relevance within this militant network, as each group has a common interest in furthering their militant and financial capabilities by working together. For example, Tigers cadres organize training camps in the northeast and use their maritime contacts to assist ULFA in transporting arms and narcotics up to Cambodia in ULFA-owned shrimp trawlers that operate out of Bangladesh's Chittagong port. The Tigers have also been known to train Maoist rebels in Nepal and India at camps in the jungles of India's eastern state of Bihar.
ULFA's growing links with Bangladeshi Islamists and jihadist elements in the area are increasingly coming to light. The April 9 attack timed with Singh's visit to Assam marked the group's first-ever suicide bombing, a tactic that was pioneered by the Tigers (a non-Islamist, majority Hindu group) and has been frequently employed by Islamist militants. Prior to the attack, ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa warned that New Delhi's offer for unconditional peace talks was not acceptable, and that that ULFA cadres "have reached such a stage they would strap bombs on their chest and attack." ULFA's adoption of suicide bombing looks to be the result of the group's increased Islamization caused by collusion with Islamist outfits in the region. The bomber in the April 9 suicide attack was Ainul Ali, a Muslim.

terrorist scum of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your worthless lives! Scum.
As India industrialises, the birth-rate of the average, Hindu, Indian will drop. This is already happening in the cities. However, one group’s birth-rate never drops, whatever level of civilisation they are surrounded by. Muslims around the world always seem to have an average bith-rate of around 5 per couple, whilst the average for India is around 3. There are already 200 million muslims in India, making up 20% of the population. India will got the same way as Europe is going. One thing I will say though is that the Indian muslims I have met are generally decent people, a different calibre to those from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
A ping to you and members of your ping list.
Why does that map show Arunachal Pradesh as part of China?
Ping!
...and one for you Army Air Corps.
I thank you. May I join your ping list?
Sure! You are most welcome.
When I saw the title, I thought it was about the northeastern USA.
...radical Islam—the larger source of ethnic conflict in India. Many have sought to distract from that with propaganda diversions (for example, one Pakistani event dishonestly written up by a religious publication as an Indian incident).
I think the percentage of Slammies in India is closer to 13 percent & the vast majority are dirt poor & illiterate.The only thing they are good for is as votebanks for “secular” parties.Even if they double current birthrate levels,it would take around 300 years for Slammies to come close to Hindus.
