The film's director Adityam Saikia did not read history textbooks or form a research team but relied on accounts of people who had witnessed or experienced violence from immigrants from Nagaon and Jamugurihaat.
The fresh round of exodus in Gurugram neighborhood has come exactly two years after migrant workers from Bengal faced attacks in the aftermath of the communal violence that broke out in Nuh during a VHP-led procession, resulting in deaths and FIRs.
Gurugram has a problem of structural abandonment, whether you’re a domestic worker speaking an alien language, or the much-celebrated CEO of the new hot startup.

Mr. Saikia should be ashamed of the gross violations of human rights of Bengalis in Assam during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. In these three decades, countless Bengalis were subjected to horrific hate crimes by hooligans of the AASU (All Assam Students Union). Under the guise of Assamese nationalism, the Bengali minority was subjected to brutalities and horrors which have no parallel in modern India. This is the most violent attack on the life and dignity of a community the modern Indian nation has seen.
Instead of being deeply ashamed of this, Mr. Saikia is celebrating it. Instead of condeming such violence, he is celebrating the anti-Bengali pogroms carried out by the AASU.
The Assamese have always been xenophobic in their attitude towards Bengali refugees from Bangladesh – both Muslim as well as Hindu.
The Assam Movement did not differentiate between Muslim and Hindu Bengalis. Both were mercilessly targeted – murdered, tortured, raped and what not.
Hope Mr. Saikia, in his pursuit of truth, also directs a film on the horrors of the Nellie massacre – more than 5000 dead in a day of rioting.
