A massive attack in India last week received little Western coverage but rings about the boiling turmoil and hatred in India's Northern most provinces against internal migration patterns in this dynamic country. I have often said that India and China will break up before they rule the world as the business press and some world economists love to predict.
These two countries are home to some of the most massive inequality societies you will find and it is only a matter of time effort Vietnam type guerrilla campaigns, revolts, uprisings or whatever you want to call it will tear these countries apart. In the state of Assam the Bodo people have been fighting for twenty years to carve out a state and independent homeland of their own and last week they took to the streets killing about seventy people mostly members of another tribe that is not local called the Avasadi. These tribal people are perhaps the darkest and ugliest untouchables you will see over in India and one can kind of see why the other Indians of economic status and normal looks would disdain these idiots. The Bodo have been protesting migrations of other peoples into the region for a resource depletion and wealth extraction of their lands by outsiders and this uprising is similar to others we have seen around the world since 1994 and the Zapatista uprising in rural Mexico
. In a sense these Indian wars are no different than from our own Indian wars of a century ago as traditional lands that for a millennium belonged to a particular group and has seen an attack on their culture from migrants taking their jobs and eroding their political power which is very important in this large democracy. India recognizes some six hundred and fifty tribes whose way of life is quickly changing for the worse under the pressures of globalization and resource depletion in the world. Globalization is code word for group identity structure where the forces of economic rule want very hard to erase national identities and create a two class system of the haves and the have nots who exist to serve them. Many of these indigenous tribes in India are wing forced to sign agreements in various states in languages they do not understand that practically gives away their lands and the wealth that exists underneath it. Combine this with an exploitative labor condition India and China that would of made British blush with embarrassment and you see the real reasons for the celebrated economics growth of shitholes like India that are so gleefully recognized by the scumbag likes like Forbes, Bloomberg Business, and the Economist publishers in the West. So e of the most violent clashes in India have not been the more publicized Hindu-Muslim clashes but the indigenous uprisings against the effects of brutal capitalism that many of the media do not want information spread around the world.
