For the last one week, Jaraguri lower primary school in Gosaingaon has been home to 700 Bodo families with a head count of 3,419. Most of their houses have been burnt, rendering them homeless in their own land. Rupak Basumatary, the camp in-charge, recounted how they set up a peace committee after trouble began in the first week of July. “But those whom we were trying to protect turned into Mir Jafars (betrayers), attacking our homes with the help of outsiders,” Basumatary said.
