"hardcore"

The second paragraph of the article notes that Mahanta was "one of the hardcore cadres of the ULFA" but what does hardcore mean here? Also, how does it relate to him opposing surrending and lateral talk, as per the next sentence? I recommend rewording this sentence to improve clarity RS (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

for instance, the section could read "He was one of the hardcore cadres of the ULFA, strongly opposing any kind of surrendering and lateral talk with the Indian government. In fact, due to his influence it never happened within the outfit until his death. After his death, though, in 1992, a large section of second-rung leaders and members surrendered to government authorities. RS (talk) 01:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

"second-rung leaders and members"

In the final sentence of the second paragraph, the above phrase is included in order to define the section of ULFA members that surrendered to the government. Does this mean "second-rung leaders and second-rung members? or "second-rung leaders and other members?" If the former, ignore this query, but perhaps change to "second-rung leaders and various other members" for the latter. RS (talk) 22:55, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"under" or "alongside"

in the section "militancy life," the article notes that Mahanta "completed whis militancy training in Kachin with ULFA Chief Paresh Baruah." This phrase is unclear-- did Mahanta train under Baruah, or alongside him? RS (talk) 23:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"became very powerful"

the section "conspiracy" opens "In the late 1990s, Mahanta became very powerful." How did he become powerful? Is this when he rose to the deputy commander-in-chief position? This information could also serve as a bridge from the end of the previous paragraph, where Mahanta is noted as "a brave and strong youth leader." RS (talk) 23:17, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"his movement" and "passed on"

the end of "conspiracy" notes about Mahanta that "his movement was passed on to the Assam Police." This is the first mention of Mahanta's influence as a movement; is there a name for the movement, or identifying information to specify it? Additionally, the phrase "passed on" is unclear-- by "passed on," is "was told to" meant? RS (talk) 23:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"late 1990s"

The final sentence of the "conspiracy" section notes that the notification of Mahanta's movement to the police occured in the late 1990s. This conflicts with Mahanta's death date of 31 December 1991. Did you mean the early 1990s? RS (talk) 23:28, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"a huge team of the army"

the above phrase in the second sentence of the section "death" is unclear. How much of the army attacked Mahanta's hideout? RS (talk) 23:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"Moon Ali's detention"

The third setence of the "death" section reads "Moon Ali's detention led the army to..." Was Ali forced to reveal Mahanta's location? If so, I recommend rewording the sentence to clarify this, for instance :"Ali's interregation led the army to..." RS (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

"where"

The second-to-last sentence of the article reads "...of his hometown of the Nalbari district gathered where ULFA militants offered..." Is where here for location ("the place where I died), or clarity (My speech, where I said that)? If the former ignore this query, but if the latter consider rephrasing, for example to "...of his hometown of the Nalbari district gathered, and ULFA militants offered..."
