Background:
At the time of Independence, Assam was the only state directly governed by the British, the surrounding hill tribes were either only nominally controlled or never controlled by the British. The then Assam government in collusion with the Central government drew their state boundaries appropriating huge amounts of the ignorant but independent tribes( think of NWFP tribes of British India). Today , suddenly the Assam government uses this legal instrument to dispossess people of the hill states, and since they are strategically located in the center, murder, arrest, put fake police cases , bulldoze homes , burn etc of surrounding hill states( Arunachal, Mizoram,Nagaland,Meghalaya)with impunity.
In my state( Arunachal) lots of public have been killed ( either shot dead , custodial death etc)arrested etc by the Assam police,entire villages uprooted and lands invaded and snatched. Ironically, China has neither killed our public nor taken our land!
In this particular episode, Assam was as usual on an expedition to invade and capture land from Mizoram. But the Mizos had enough. Assam started it but Mizoram ended it. It was almost entirely an INSAS vs INSAS rifle fight with some AKs thrown in. The numerically superior Assam forces had five constabulary and one officer killed, 3-4 dozens injured including their highest commander ( SP) shot in the thigh. The fight ended when most of the Assam forces ran into the jungle and the remainder raised the white flag( literally).

. These star plus people are so comedic in their dramas and in real life.
