Despite reorganization of North-East in 1972, autonomy demand arose:
1. Assam communities like Bodos, Karbis, and Mimosas demanded separate states.
2. They mobilized public opinion and popular movement and same area were claimed by more than one community.
3. Federal set up satisfied their autonomy i.e. Karbis and Mimosas were granted autonomy under district councils while Bodos were granted autonomous council.
