Police forces from two Indian states (both controlled by the same party that runs the central Indian regime) went to war over a border dispute Monday 26.

According to Assam police, civilians and police officials were drawn into a killzone and brutally ambushed with light machine guns from hardened defensive positions. At least six Assam police constables were killed as of now, and something like 80-90 injured.

According to Mizoram police, they were only responding after a mob of several hundred forced their way through an installation of the federal CRPF, and began setting fires and attacking unarmed civilians. Casualties are unknown.

The Indian central regime has asked the leaders of Assam and Mizoram to stop fighting. Opposition politicians such as Rahul Gandhi of the Congress Party have suggested that this is not a normal situation.

Allegedly, the following video shows Mizoram police and fellas broing out after successfully repelling the Assamese invasion.

Northeast India is kind of a mess with various tribal and ethnic groups Mizoram might be part of india now but for hundreds of years have been largely autonomous they share little in common with India they have their own language, culture, history and are ethnically more Asian than Indian

The British had separate administrations to govern these groups but when India gained independence it has largely ignored or treated them with disdain there have been several long running independence fights in the region from both the the Naga's and the Mizo people
 
India really is impressive in the way it engulfes and (more or less successfully) annihilates smallish cultures. Like China in a way. I wonder how long it will take until everything bastardises into something generically Indian.
 
India could turn into Yugoslavia on steroids with nukes, if for some reason it decides to fall apart.
Curious why it hasn’t yet, given the diverse and unrelated groups at each other’s throats since the late Raj (ignoring the East/West Pakistan split, why haven’t more occurred?). Is it fear of outside influence/powers/colonization? Has the economic development been “good enough” to keep groups from large-scale rebelling? Maybe the ingrained caste system affords stability? The whole thing feels precipitous and frankly terrifying going further into the 21st Century.

In a way it already happened with the Indian-Pakistani split. Then the Pakistani-Bangladesi split. The smaller states... who knows, I can only imagine the complex aliances and spookery that must be going on to keep the thing going. I guess the biggest thing must be the lack of regional armies. Yugoslavia had an army for each Republic in the Federal Republic. As far as I know India's military is exclusively a Federal thing.

Also don't they have like low key civil wars going on all the time? Just the countryside is so poor and undeveloped nobody seems to care about the ocassional maoist insurgency because all big economic activity happens around the sea anyway.

Mizoram Police have filed a case against the executive of Assam, and several hundred Assam police officers.

Assam Police have filed a case against a member of the Indian central senate in Delhi requesting that he immediately come to Assam to give a statement, threatening to arrrest him if he did not. After the initial amusing incident, MP K Vanlalvena had told media "They are lucky that we didn’t kill them all. If they come again, we shall kill them all." They have also filed warrants against six senior Mizoram police officers for attempted murder.

Assam has issued a travel advisory advising Assamese not to travel to Mizoram. Assam denies organizing a blockade against Mizoram, but has stated that any vehicles entering from Mizoram will be searched for drugs at all border entry points, and truckers are reportedly afraid to enter the warzone.

For now, just looks like Indian business as usual, though it could get more fun if they try to arrest each other.
