On 27th January, 2020 a third Bodo Accord was signed among the representatives of Bodo Organizations, Assam Government and Central Government. Bodos have long been fighting to preserve their distinct identity and culture in the region. The reason for their agitation is cultural erosion due to the large scale migration (since pre independentera) and resultant loss of economic activities, livelihood and political recognition. This led to the Bodo insurgency for the demand of a separate state or territory in the form of Bodoland. Responding to the same the first Bodo accord was signed in 1993 but couldn’t promise the desired peace in the region as it was less political in nature, didn’t substantially recognized the rights of the Bodo Community and also the area to be under administration by BAC was not clearly notified. Therefore, after so many humanitarian crises which followed the first accord, the subsequent second accord was signed in 2003. Unfortunately, this too proved to be a failure like the first accord as it didn’t sufficiently address the plight of majority of non-bodo community in a Bodo administered area. Recently, the central government has responded with Third accord to pacify the Bodo insurgency in Assam.Therefore, the paper seeks to analyze that whether the third accord would give a rest to bodo insurgency in the region and ultimately the facilitation of peace to the region or the substantial issues of the Bodoswould still remain unresolved? Research Methodology: The methodology used is Doctrinal and socio-legal research
