The movement has gained strength since 1970 . Various groups of the movement require autonomy of the Bodo and Karbi regions, organize numerous ethnic conflicts , anti-government protests and hostage-taking ^[1] .

The civil war is fueled by ethnic conflicts, and primarily between the Assamese and the Bengalis ^{[2] [3]} . The conflict escalated due to the presence of significant oil fields in Assam ^[1] The conflict led to massive flows of refugees. ^[4] .

The most famous are the United Assam Liberation Front (ULFA) and the Bodoland National Democratic Front (NDFB) organizations, recently numerous other groups have emerged - BLT, UPDS, DHD, KLO, HPCD, etc. ^[4] ULFA is the most the largest of these groups, formed back in 1979 ^{[5] [5]} . ULFA is also actively involved in drug production and trafficking ^{[5] [6]} .

The formation of Bodoland’s autonomy in 2003 as a result of the surrender of weapons to the Bodoland Liberation Tigers (BLT) significantly reduced tension. ULFA and KLO activists were based in Bhutan for a long time until they were pushed back by government forces in December 2003 .
