The demand for the creation of a Rabha homeland is related to the creation of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), a territorial and political unit of the Bodos under the Sixth Schedule through an amendment of the Constitution in February 2003.
The State does not appear to be involved in such incidents of violence directly, although there are routine accusations that the State itself is encouraging this or that group as part of its broader strategy of crushing militancy.
Such demands, in the view of those raising them, are both legitimate and attainable, maybe with a show of force, now that the Bodos, the largest of the plains tribes of the State, have secured the BTC.
