Assam riots : 12 arrested, Army holds flag march, toll reaches 32

Nine more bodies were recovered from a village in Baksa district on Saturday morning, taking the toll of violence between the Bodos and the Bangladeshi immigrants in Bodoland Territorial Administration Districts (BTADC) area in Assam to 32.

Ahmed Siddique, Minister for Border Areas Development in Assam, said the Bodoland People’s Front is behind the killing.

In an emergency meeting of the State Cabinet this afternoon, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi sought a NIA probe into the violence.

The bodies of the victims, including four children and two women, were recovered from Khagrabari village under Salbari sub-division adjacent to the Manas National Park, official sources said.

Besides Chirang and parts of Dhubri districts, indefinite curfew has also been imposed in Kokrajhar and Baksa districts where 23 people were killed.

The Army has been staging flag marches in the violence-hit areas to instill confidence among people and to bring the situation under control, sources said.

The violence started when heavily armed miscreants entered a house and shot dead three members of a family, including two women, and injured an infant near Ananda Bazar area in Baksa district on Thursday.

This was followed by indiscriminate firing at Balapara-I village in neighbouring Kokrajhar district in the early hours on Friday which left eight persons dead and injuring several others in their own houses.

Last night, 12 bullet-riddled bodies, including those of five women and a child, were recovered from Nankekhadrabari and Nayanguri villages in Baksa district where nearly 100 houses and a wooden bridge were set ablaze by the rebels.

The Assam Police have reportedly arrested 12 and have detained eight people in connection with the riots in Assam over the last three days.

Meanwhile, curfew had been clamped in areas such as Dhubri, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Nalbari, Darrang and Sonitpur districts.

In the meantime, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has asked for a probe by NIA into the violence by Bodo terrorists group NDFB(S) in the State.

“We have decided to recommend a probe by the NIA. Nobody responsible for the killings of so many innocent people will be spared,” Gogoi told reporters.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2...
