An open letter to The Hindu Daily Newspaper

Date:8/8/16

Hello Sir/Madam,

I am M **** Daimary and I belong from the Bodo kachari tribe from kokrajhar BTAD Assam I don’t know whom to address so I’m addressing in the name of The Hindu Daily newspaper.

Now first let me tell you something about The Bodos, The Bodos are an ethnic and linguistic aboriginal group of the Brahmaputra valley in the northeast part of India. The Bodos are recognized as a plains tribe in the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. Historically the great Bodos were known as the Mech. Even today the Bodos living in West Bengal, Nagaland and Nepal are called Mech. The Bodos use the term Bodosa (which is pronounced as Borosa meaning son of Bodo) to describe themselves. The Bodosa is Sub clan of Dimasa people. In short we can understand Bodo/Boro people are originated from Dimasa people. Even though Bodos are demographically separated they follow the same culture, tradition, language and religion
