News, culture, and community from the Bodo homeland — launching soon at thebodoland.com.
Bodoland is home to the Bodo people, one of Northeast India's largest indigenous communities, spread across the Bodo Territorial Region of Assam. It's a landscape shaped by the Manas river system and its forests, the Bathou faith's sacred sijou plant, and textiles — the aronai scarf and dokhona — woven in patterns that carry their own grammar.
thebodoland.com is being built as a home for the stories, people, and everyday life of this region — reported and written with the region in mind, not as an afterthought.
Reporting and first-person accounts from across the Bodo Territorial Region.
Bwisagu, the Bathou tradition, textiles, and the craft behind them.
