Bongal Kheda (trans. "Drive out the Outsiders mostly referring to Bengalis!") was a xenophobic movement in India, which aimed at purging out non-native job competitors (primarily middle-class Hindu Bengalis) by the job-seeking Assamese. Soon after the Independence of India, the Assamese Hindu middle class gained political control in Assam and tried to gain social and economic parity with their competitors, the Bengali Hindu middle class. A significant period of property damage, ethnic policing and even instances of street violence occurred in the region. The exact timeline is disputed, though many authors agree the 1960s saw a height of disruption. It was part of a broader discontent within Assam that would foreshadow the Assamese Language Movement and the anti-Bengali Assam Movement.
