An open letter to The Hindu Daily newspaper
Date:8/8/16
Hello Sir/Madam I am Morin 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

In the most unfortunate way, The Hindu published my story on yesterday's brutal attack in Kokrajhar and carried the headline in the Front Page as ''14 dead as Bodo men target Assam market''.
This is a serious blunder by The Hindu's editorial board as militants are just people who know no caste, creed, tribe, sex. Prefixing them with the name of a tribe(BODO) is a grave insult to the people who have suffered enough in the atrocious hand of these insurgents. And more so, when the involvement of any insurgents groups is yet to be established.
Now tell me why are you misleading the Mob.?? Where are you leading them to.?? Kokrajhar is a very sensitive Area it will End up at communal Clash between the other communities living there peacefully, stop labelling the entire community as a militant for you front page breaking news militants has no cast, creeds, sex etc. the duty of the media, journalist is to dig out the truth and bring in front of every one, not to grid Masala and chilli's to add extra flavour
We the Entire Bodo community wants an Apology from The Hindu for misleading the Nation....
#Shame_on_the_Hindu
