Dear Sir/Madam, 

I have written this letter to provide a different POV from an Assamese native person of Assam. Although India is an country, actually it's like a subcontinent, different ethnicities living in different States. That'swhy issues faced by people of Assam is not same as people of Maharashtra or Tamil Nadu. 

 Assam is a border State,, bordering with bangladesh. bangladesh is a muslim majority country. After 1971, many Bangladeshi citizens migrated to Assam and West Bengal. Illegal Bangladeshi immigration has become a huge problem for Assamese indigenous people that includes Hindu, muslim and Christians and other indigenous faiths. Ethnicity, Language, Culture, Cloths of Assamese people are different from Bangladeshi illegal immigrants and migrants from other states outside Assam. Both BJP and Congress govts in Assan in past hasn't done much to stop illegal immigration and to stop illegal border crossing. I try to understand your human rights angle, but human rights of Assamese people, various tribes living in Assam matters too. 

Let's talk about Assamese indigenous muslims. Assamese indigenous muslims speaks Assamese, even have assamese regional dialects in their speech, knows about Assam History, belongs to same ethnicity as other indigenous people from Assam. Again, Indians are NOT SAME all over India. Assamese natives can identify non-Assamese migrants living in Guwahati or anywhere in the State. For people of assam Ethnic identity comes 1st, before religious identity. Everything is not plain Hindu-Muslim issue. There are evidence everywhere to back my argument. Interview Assamese muslims, they listen to musicians and  composers dr. Bhupen Hazarika and Zubeen Garg same as every other Assamese.. At recent funeral of Zubeen Garg, Hindu-muslims everybody together mourned him as united Assamese. 

All Assamese muslims have voting  rights in upcoming election. It's the politicians doing politics with Non-Assamese migrants, illegal or otherwise. Assam has complete right to stop illegal Bangladeshis from voting. Although votebank politics is done by both corrupted BJP or Congress party by entering Bangladeshis or Non-Assamese migrants into voter lists of Assam, to get their votes. 

Assamese people have NO problem with Assamese native muslims. We have problem with migrants from other states or illegal Bangladeshis( called as MIYA in Assamese slang) trying to impose their culture, ideology, language on us. We don't want Assamese to lose status of state language, we don't want extinction of our folk festivals like BIHU, our arts and music. Stop comparing issues of Assam with mainland India or other parts of the World..

It is my request that you do responsible journalism and interview NATIVE Assamese locals before making up Your own conclusions.
