Objective
This organisation fights to get a sovereign Bodoland north of the Brahmaputra River. It was very active during the 1990s. It consists of around 1,000 fighters. The NDFB is allied with the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (IM) and illegally occupies terrorist training camps in the South of Bhutan. In December 2003, the government of Bhutan and the Indian Army launched joint operations to destroy these terrorist camps operated in Bhutanese territory by ULFA and NDFB. They also were implicated in the assassination of Bineshwar Brahma, a prominent educationist and litterateur in Bodoland opposed to the writing of the Bodo language in Latin script.
The main goals include:
- Separate itself from the expansionism and occupation of India
- Free Bodoland from the exploitation, oppression, anddomination by colonialists
- Uphold the integrity of a sovereign Bodoland
- Set up a Democratic Socialist Society that promoted Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity
- Change the written language to Roman
- Take part indirectly or directly in the elections in the lower house of parliament
