You ask what part of our history justifies

Settler intentions - Mohd Sadulla (muslim league) politically migrated people to link Assam with East Bengal pre independence. Also, their support for Cabinet Mission grouping of Assam to Bengal is testimony (1)

#nevoicematters
Post independence, population change of Assam more than Indian average in border districts and current bangla majority districts before Bangladesh war exodus pre 1971. That's why we brought in Accord and absorbed immigrants officially till 71 (2)
Following 71, systematic increase of bangla speakers and decrease of Assamese speakers. 91 - 57% to 48 in 2011. Testimony of unabated Illegal immigration through a porous border (3)
Another example, Tripura from 70% Indigenous to 30% due to unabated immigration. Denying setller intentions + forwarding humanity narrative + without taking into consideration of facts is what defines the mainland narrative few pseudos attempt to forward (4)
violent episodes have happened as a product of unchecked migration policies. Criticise that. But, to reduce our intentions and equate ideals of our struggles as mere xenophobia, paranoia is hasty, ignorant and hypocrisy. (5)
PS - when British imposed Bengali in Assam aided by Bengali babus who came as administrators. We protested even then and were called paranoid (6)
you can still be critical about Assam, I can guide you where you can criticize. Just don't base your criticism on misinformation and false narrative of Hindu-Muslim binary when the issue is about language-culture-inorganic migration that needs immediate policy making and focus.
