about
More than a 1000 Bodos participated in an indefinite hunger strike, demanding a separate state called Bodoland. Various Bodo organisations have vowed to continue the hunger strike until the government comes forward to solve the problems of the Bodos.
The hunger strike which began on March 10, 2017, has already gone past its fifth day. Moreover, the participants have refused to take any medical help. Even though their health has been deteriorating, they are still resolute and firm in their demand for Bodoland under Articles 2 and 3 of the Indian Constitution. Besides, this statehood agitation has been going on for over five decades.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodoland
While majority of the Bodos envisaged Bodoland as an autonomous territory or state within India, a small section demanded complete sovereignty. NDFB was formed by secessionist Bodos on 3 October 1986 as the Bodo Security Force (BdSF), under the leadership of Ranjan Daimary, in Odla Khasibari village (near Udalguri ).
The Bodoland movement was mainly led by the political organisations All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) and Bodo Peoples' Action Committee (BPAC). In 1993, these two groups signed the Bodo Accord with Indian government, agreeing to the formation of Bodoland Autonomous Council within Assam. BdSF opposed this Accord. Shortly after the Accord, the Assam State Government refused to hand over 2,750 villages to the proposed Council, arguing that Bodos formed less than 50% of the population in these villages. Following this, the BdSF was renamed to National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) on 25 November 1994. The NDFB then launched an ethnic cleansing campaign, attacking non-Bodo communities in these villages.
In the mid-1990s, NDFB also faced a rival within the Bodo community, in form of Bodo Liberation Tigers Force (BLTF). The BLTF had evolved from an older militant group called the Bodo Volunteer Force. It considered NDFB's secessionist agenda unrealistic and unattainable, and focused on establishment of an autonomous Bodo territory within India. In 2003, BLTF surrendered en masse in return for the establishment of the Bodoland Territorial Council .
In 2008, the NDFB split into two after Ranjan Daimary's name appeared in the 2008 Assam bombings case. NDFB(P), the pro-talks factions led by B Sungthagra supported peace talks with the governments. NDFB(R), led by Daimary, refused to give up militancy.
In 2012, I K Songbijit, the chief of the NDFB(R) faction's "Bodoland Army", announced the formation of a nine-member "interim national council", resulting in a split. NDFB(S), the faction led by Songibijit, is now the most dreaded faction.

about
Sir Ravana New Delhi, India
In a Word: Mystical
In a sense, electronic music is a vacuum - the entire damn genre started off as
nothing more than a series of electrical inventions which gained popularity after composers applied them to their own cultures. New Delhi-based artist Ravana, named after the antagonist of Valmiki’s epic poem Ramayana, follows in these classics’ footsteps to re-imagine their music.
