United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA)

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is an insurgent group that emerged in the late 20th century, mainly aiming for the independence of Assam, a state in northeastern India. It advocates for greater autonomy and the preservation of Assamese culture, often through armed struggle and violence. Since its formation in 1986, ULFA has been involved in attacks on government and civilian targets, leading to ongoing conflict with Indian security forces. While the group claims to seek political goals, its activities have caused concern over regional security and stability. The Indian government has designated ULFA as a terrorist organization.
