All Bodo Students Union
All Bodo Students' Union (ABSU) is a students organization (non-political) formed in 1967 in the Bodoland region of Assam, India. The ABSU under the leadership of Upendranath Brahma supported the movement for a state within Assam, to be called Bodoland for all tribal communities living on the North Bank of River Brahmaputra in Assam. The demand for Bodoland is the result of years of exploitation by the ruling Assamese communities in the post colonial Assam.
Brahma would later form a new political party, the United People's Party (UPP). A merger of the Bodoland Peoples’ Progressive Front (BPPF) and United Democratic People’s Front (UDLF), Pradip Kumar Damary is the UPP's general secretary.[1] It is currently part of a coalition called the People’s Co-ordination for Democratic Rights (PCDR).
