. . .Aminkhata, nestled in the forests of Assam’s Kokrajhar district, was one of many hundreds of villages destroyed in July last year, when riots broke out between Bodos and Bengali-speaking Muslims across the north-western part of the state. The village, a Bodo enclave of approximately 2,000 people, was in the middle of a larger Muslim area. All of its 250 homes were burnt to the ground.
