I was able to download the census of Assam. They have not provided demographic split for various districts and there are districts where the population growth is low and here is an interesting fact - Kokrajhar is one of the districts with lowest population growth - 5.19% - The same district where Bodos oppose the muslim migration and riots happened(the other district - Chirang is roughly 11.3%) - so the Bodos would have been happy if the redistribution of the muslim population is the reason(in this case, the muslim people moving away from the district for the past 10 years). But the reverse has happened. Isn't it an interesting finding?

All these illegal migration claim is rubbish. Bodos are fighting for separate independent state for themselves but problem is they represent only 20% of the population. So what they want is to remove the muslim from the land so that their percentage increase beyond 50% and they can claim an independent state.
The 4 bodo youth those who was killed were also part of bodo liberation army but Indian media cleverly ignored that and they did not mention that they were killed when they were trying to raid in a muslim area. Some extremist hindu organization propagated that it is because of illegal migration when that region has the lowest growth rate.
Karan Thapar: But I quote it to you that Bodos represent something like 20 per cent of the population of the Bodo Territorial Administrative Area, they comprise 30 out of 46 seats on the BTC, which is 65 per cent. Twenty per cent population, 65 per cent seats.
Tarun Gogoi: See, there is a case in the Sixth Schedule, there is about 35 per cent population. It is a true that Bodos are minority, Bodos are minority in the Bodoland, Bodoland Territorial Council.
Karan Thapar: As a result of which the rest of the population feels left out, they almost feel disfranchised. That is why you have this bitterness which keeps erupting periodically.
Tarun Gogoi: BTC, yes they are reservation but for the MLAs there is no reservation.
Karan Thapar: But BTC has local control. Let me quote to you what the President of the All Assam Minority Student Union Abdul Rahim Ahmed has said. He says, "Bodos engineered the recent trouble because they wants to push the Muslims out of the Bodoland, then they could push their numbers to 50 per cent and demand a separate state."
