经过

阿萨姆运动期间,抗争的全阿萨姆学生联盟(AASU)要求去除非法入境的外籍人士之投票权,并将其驱逐出境[9],但时任印度总理英迪拉·甘地无视严重争议,仍决定在当年2月14日、17日与20日在阿萨姆邦举办选举,并同意给予400万名自孟加拉国迁入的移民投票权,为此次屠杀的导火线[10]

1983年1月双方冲突激化,全阿萨姆学生联盟的若干领导人被捕,支持阿萨姆运动的当地报纸被禁止报导抗争相关新闻,全阿萨姆学生联盟发动了大规模的反选举抗争,破坏联外道路以阻止投票工作,并演变成绑架候选人家属的暴力冲突,印度政府则调派大批警力进入阿萨姆邦以确保投票顺利进行[11],当地警官坎瓦尔·帕尔·辛格·吉尔英语Kanwar Pal Singh Gill事后回忆当时他评估阿萨姆有63个选区可顺利举行投票,有23个则几乎难以举行,奈历村(Nellie,当时属那冈县英语Nagaon district,今属马日冈县[8])即为其中之一[10]

1983年2月18日上午约9时,奈历与周围13个居民以孟加拉穆斯林为主的村庄遭持枪与开山刀的武装分子包围,并展开屠杀,至下午约3时方止[12],造成上千名孟加拉穆斯林丧生,许多房舍也被焚毁,遇难者许多为不及逃跑的妇女与儿童[11]

后续

事后英迪拉·甘地访视奈历村,指控阿萨姆运动的抗争者应为此事负责,全阿萨姆学生联盟则指屠杀是因强制推行选举而起[11]。同年7月14日,阿萨姆邦政府指派一个小组调查此事,由特里布万·普拉萨德·蒂瓦里(Tribhuvan Prasad Tiwari)担任组长,1984年5月小组发布了600页的调查报告,即蒂瓦里小组报告(Tiwari Commission report),其中指出当地官员虽在事前即有相关情报,却未能快速应对以阻止屠杀爆发[13],阿萨姆邦政府将此报告列为机密档案,未予公开[14]阿萨姆联合民主阵线英语All India United Democratic Front等团体持续透过法律等途径要求政府公开蒂瓦里小组报告[15][16]

此次屠杀后,警方立案的案件共有688起,其中378件以证据不足结案,剩馀310件本计画起诉,但1985年印度政府与阿萨姆反抗势力签订〈阿萨姆协议〉后撤回了所有诉讼,因此是次屠杀中并无任何凶手受罚[17],每名遇难者家属仅得到政府5000卢比的微薄补偿[18]

有学者将此事件视为第二次世界大战后最严重的一起种族清洗事件[19],《印度时报》报导则称“自1946年加尔各答大屠杀以来,从没有如此可怕、令印度蒙羞的事件”[1]

印度非政府组织公共服务广播电视基金会英语Public Service Broadcasting Trust拍摄的纪录片〈土地还记得什么英语What the Fields Remember〉即是以此次大屠杀为主题[20]

Often I notice people from outside Assam confusing the two, including the national media in articles published outside the state. We identify ourselves as Bengal-origin Assamese Muslims. We are not Bengali. We are not Bengali Muslims. The Muslims in Assam’s Barak Valley often identify themselves as Bengali Muslims, not us. But we have not been able to make people from the outside see the difference." (Pisharoty 2019)
