The Assam Movement (also Anti-Foreigners Agitation) (1979-1985) was an popular uprising in Assam, India, that demanded the Government of India to detect, disenfranchise and deport aliens. Led by All Assam Students Union and All Assam Gana Sangram Parishad the movement defined a six-year period of sustained civil disobedience campaigns, political instability and widespread ethnic violence (Nellie massacre, 1983).[5] The movement ended in 1985 with the Assam Accord.

It was known since 1963 that foreign nationals had been improperly added to electoral rolls—and when the draft enrollments in Mangaldoi showed high number of non-citizens in 1979 AASU decided to campaign for thoroughly revised electoral rolls in the entire state of Assam.[1] The Government of the day could not accept the demands of the movement leaders since it came at considerable political costs and the movement escalated to economic blockades, oppression and ethnic conflict.
The problems that germinated the Assam movement and the problems that it created continue to fester.
