| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A popular narrative in India targets Bengali Muslims as “foreign encroachers” in Assam, claiming that they are in fact Bangladeshi migrants. An examination of the history of this narrative and an analysis of demographic data reveal that the available evidence does not support the illegal-infiltrator narrative. |
