Autonomous State Demand Committee

Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC), originally Peoples Democratic Front, was set up as a mass organization of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation with the aim of statehood for the Karbi Anglong region in the India state of Assam.

ASDC was active in the districts of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao (North Chachar Hills).

Later, ASDC split into two, with one section the Autonomous State Demand Committee (United) breaking away from CPI(ML) Liberation and aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The main group loyal to CPI(ML) Liberation reorganized themselves as Autonomous State Demand Committee (Progressive).

The HSDC's primary objective was to continue ASDC's advocacy for the creation of a separate state for the hill districts of Assam.
