Bodo Movement

The Bodo Movement is a political and social effort by the Bodo community in northeastern India, primarily in Assam, advocating for greater autonomy, recognition of their cultural identity, and rights over their land and resources. It began in the 1960s, fueled by concerns over identity and development, and has led to demands for a separate state called Bodoland. The movement involves negotiations, protests, and agreements between the community and the government to address their aspirations, aiming for preservation of their language, culture, and political rights within a peaceful framework.
