STRANGERS OF THE MIST
Hazarika’s attempt to bring awareness to a number of sensitive issues faced by Indians living in the North Eastern parts of the country. According to the author, the people and problems of that region are often overlooked and ignored. In this eye-opening memoir, the author presents several enlightening facts, which are virtually unknown to most citizens of this nation. For instance, Hazarika systematically presents the developments that occurred in Assam and neighbouring parts, from post Independence up to the present day. He sheds light on possible causes and factors behind ethnic clashes, separatist outbreaks, and political unrest, that is so characteristic of this region.
