United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA)

The United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) is a separatist militant organization in India's Assam state, formed in 1979. It aims to establish an independent Assam through armed struggle, citing issues like ethnic identity and perceived neglect by the Indian government. ULFA has carried out insurgent activities, including bombings and attacks, which have caused loss of life and property. The group initially sought independence but has also engaged in peace negotiations over time. While some leaders have surrendered or been arrested, ULFA remains a significant security concern in the region.
