<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Forced_displacement">Forced displacement</span></h3>
<p>Nepalis in India have faced violence and ethnic cleansing, especially in the north-eastern states. In 1967, more than 8,000 Nepalis were driven out of Mizoram, while more than 2,000 in Manipur met with the same fate in 1980. Tens of thousands of Nepalis were banished from Assam (in 1979) and Meghalaya (in 1987) by the local militia groups.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> The biggest displacement occurred in Meghalaya, when the Khasi Students' Union (KSU) targeted Nepalis living in the eastern part of the state. More than 15,000 Nepalis were driven out (mostly to Nepal), while about 10,000 were reduced to living in subhuman life in the refugee camps of Shillong.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup> In 2010, there were riots between Khasis and the Gorkhas, which left several Gorkhas dead. One elderly Gorkha man was burnt alive.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup>
