They are are removing BODO from the logo . Weirdly HINDI is there , and another person a native assamese , atleast he or she claims to be, has problems with **BANGLA & Bengalis. (**2nd pic)

Somehow he/she runs AssamValley sub where the person is a MOD and claims he is neutral, i guess it all leads back to "The Scorpion and the Frog" fable. You can't change someone's nature.

I’ve been digging through colonial financial records and historical texts lately, and the economic exploitation behind the creation of the Assam province is absolutely wild. There is a deeply rooted history of how the wealthy, populous Bengali-speaking district of Sylhet was yoked to Assam purely to act as a financial piggybank for British imperial projects specifically the Assam Bengal Railway.

Here :

1. The Annexation: Assam Was Economically Unviable

When the British carved out Assam proper as a separate Chief Commissioner’s province on February 6, 1874, they quickly realized it had a massive problem: a "meagre revenue potential".

To make this new, sparsely populated province "financially viable" and "self-sustaining," the British authorities arbitrarily sliced the populous, wealthy, Bengali-speaking district of Sylhet away from Bengal and annexed it to Assam in September 1874.

Both Hindu and Muslim inhabitants of Sylhet vehemently protested, submitting a formal memorial on August 10, 1874, fighting to protect their cultural identity and desperately trying to avoid being yoked to a "backward" economic region. The British, needing Sylhet's revenue, completely ignored their prayers.

2. The Project: The Assam Bengal Railway (1892)

Why did the British need a self-sustaining Assam so badly? To subsidize infrastructure meant to enrich European industries.

In 1892, the Assam Bengal Railway was formed. Its explicit purpose was to connect the hinterlands of Assam with the port of Chittagong. The documents lay it out bare: this massive project was constructed "obviously in the interests of the Assam tea gardens" (which were overwhelmingly owned by British planters).

3. The Evidence: How Bengalis Paid the Price

The British guaranteed private railway companies a 3% profit return on their investment to build the line. Who paid that guarantee when the railway failed to make a profit? The taxpayers.

Because Sylhet had been forcefully incorporated into Assam to provide it with financial muscle, its massive, dense Bengali population bore the brunt of the domestic taxation required to keep the province afloat and pay off these imperial railway guarantees.

Historical accounts explicitly state that this railway brought virtually no traffic to the public and that "Indian money has been wasted on a scheme from which Indian tax-payers have nothing to gain." While vital public works like irrigation were starved of funds (receiving only £24 million sterling compared to a staggering £226 million sterling spent on railways), the agrarian population of Bengal and Sylhet saw their wealth drained to build tracks that only served European tea lords.

Romesh Chunder Dutt,

"an eminent Bengali civil servant and economist, fiercely criticized the British railway policies in his seminal works (The Economic History of India Under Early British Rule and The Economic History of India in the Victorian Age).What it Explains: Dutt argued that the colonial administration prioritized building expensive commercial railways over vital irrigation systems. He explicitly noted that lines like the Assam Bengal Railway were built through "railway capitalism". The state extracted steep land revenue from local peasants particularly across fertile Bengal—and funneled that money to guarantee 5% profit margins for private London-based investors."

Summary : The British broke Sylhet away from Bengal against its people's will because Assam didn't generate enough tax revenue. They used Sylhet's wealthy tax base to balance Assam's books and fund a multi-million sterling railway system designed entirely to export tea for British companies, leaving local taxpayers with the bill and absolutely nothing to gain.

Now a days a long debate has been circulating online how Silchar Railway Station is not showing Dimasa history because a Tin roof was placed over it. Dimasa has Dima Hasao to themselves, Now question is what did BENGALIS get after paying taxes for railway stations , where is the bengali representations ? Bengalis are native population of Barak Valley , so where is Bengali representation ? Most of the things are build on blood money of BENGALIS but when Bengalis ask for the Station name to be changed to the LANGUAGE MARTYR OF 19TH MAY, BARAK VALLEY, that specific moment bengalis of barakvalley becomes a Bangladeshi, Immigrant, Migrant, Refugee. how long .....

I’ve been seeing a massive push lately especially from certain corners of the diaspora in places like London trying to aggressively push the narrative that Sylheti is a completely separate, independent language with its own sovereign, ancient writing system called Sylhet Nagri.

But if you actually look at the foundational linguistic surveys and historical texts, this modern narrative completely falls apart. It looks less like a legitimate linguistic movement and more like a manufactured identity crisis.

I was looking through some key historical sources recently, specifically The Origin and Development of the Bengali Language by Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterji and George Grierson’s Linguistic Survey of India and the reality is starkly different from the internet propaganda:

1. It’s a North Indian import, not a sovereign regional evolution

Chatterji explicitly notes that "Silēṭ Nāgarī" was just a modified form of Deva-nagari. It didn’t evolve independently in the region. He notes that its presence in East Bengal was purely the result of early colonies of proselytizing groups coming down from Upper India who brought their vernaculars (Hindi/Urdu dialects) and wrote them in Deva-nagari. (2nd pic)

2. Highly exclusive and restricted demographic use

The data shows this wasn't some universal regional script used by the general population of Sylhet. Chatterji points out that it had a highly restricted, exclusive use only within a specific religious community. Grierson backs this up by showing it was entirely confined to the lower-class strata of that same faith group. It was never an overarching cultural script for the entire region; it was a segregated, niche writing system used exclusively by one particular community to the exclusion of everyone else.

3. It was a tool for basic literacy, not formal or high culture

The diaspora love to paint this as a grand administrative or court script. But Grierson’s Linguistic Survey of India completely dismantles this. According to the records:

• It was a shortcut: The text explicitly states that the only reason people used it was because it was "much easier to learn than Bengali."
• It was for the illiterate: It was primarily used by illiterate men just to sign their names.
• Zero official status: The survey explicitly states it was "hardly used,—never, at least, in formal documents."
• The literature was still Bengali: Even the regional folk literature (Puthis) printed in this character were explicitly Puthis in Bengali. (1st pic)

4. The Diaspora Propaganda Machine

So why the sudden aggressive push? It’s largely being driven by the overseas diaspora who are detached from the ground realities of the mainland. In an effort to carve out a distinct ethnic niche within Western multicultural funding structures (like getting separate council translation budgets or localized school curricula), they are trying to completely sever the region's speech from the Bengali family.

But as Grierson famously concluded in his survey:

>"The language spoken by the inhabitants of Eastern Sylhet is not intelligible to the natives of Central or Northern Bengal. It is, nevertheless, Bengali."

Using a script to claim a completely separate linguistic nationality is just a delusional identity crisis.

The audacity to claim our lands 🤡

A farmer from a border village in Cacher was reportedly taken across the India-Bangladesh border by a group of people alleged to be from Bangladesh, triggering concern among residents in the Kinnarkhal border area under Katigorah.

The farmer has been identified as Ranjit Das, a resident of Chandinagar Part-II village.

According to local residents, the incident occurred at around 11 a.m. while Ranjit Das was cutting grass for cattle on agricultural land located beyond the border fencing but within Indian territory. Residents alleged that several people from Bangladesh forcibly took him across the border.

I have no idea if it is a good news or bad news, most of the roads of Barak valley are in very bad condition.

Digorkhal to Meghalaya road turns into mini lakes in monsoon and in winter it is like a desert, dust everywhere.From Silchar capital point to Kalain town to Katigorah all the roads are gone case. There are literally lakes inside the roads and here they are announcing project after project . If they repaired the roads the accidents would have been a little less.

Do we have any more data on this dynasty who ruled Bengal ?

Barak Valley is the most neglected part of Assam. There is a clear bias towards the people of Barak Valley.

It is same since years, where is the fund going ? Why there is so much negligence towards us ,

Summary : Treaty of Badarpur (1824) in brief, Rajah Govinda Chander of Cachar accepted British East India Company protection while retaining internal control of his kingdom. In return, the British handled external defense and foreign relations, and the Rajah agreed to pay an annual tribute of 10,000 Sicca Rupees. The treaty also gave the Company the right to occupy Cachar territory if tribute payments were not made, making Cachar a British protectorate and marking the beginning of formal British influence in the kingdom.

Source : Cacher under British Rule in North East India by J B Bhattacharjee

In his census 1921 Sir, G.T Lloyd stated that, only three places Cacher-Plains, Sylhet & Goalpara contained the Indigenous Bengali population , rest are Immigrant Bengalis.

Sylhet went to BD, only Goalpara & Cacher-Plains, which consists of three district Cacher, Sribhumi & Hailakandi remains in present Assam.

And in 4th picture you can see how Surma Valley consists of two parts, Cacher Plains and Sylhet.

The 19th May Barak Valley Bengali Massacre (1961)

The 19th May Barak Valley Massacre, also known as the Bengali Language Movement Massacre, was one of the most significant linguistic rights movements in post-independence India. On 19 May 1961, police opened fire on peaceful protesters at Silchar Railway Station in present-day Barak Valley, Assam, killing 11 Bengali language activists who were demanding recognition of Bengali as an official language in the Bengali-majority Barak Valley region . They Injured thousands of the protestors. Even an ambulance was not there for them.

Bengalis had to endure brutal baton charges, Lathi charges, tear gases just because they will not give up their mother tongue " BANGLA BASHA " panic among civilians, people being dragged away, indiscriminate violence, and eventually live firing on unarmed demonstrators.The injured protesters were denied immediate treatment, women and children were terrorized, and railway station areas turned chaotic after gunfire. Some poems the protestors sang :-

"আয় রে তোরা কে দিবি প্রাণ
কে আজ সব করিবি দান
মায়ের লাজ ঘুচাবি আজ-সতেজ দৃপ্ততায়।”-

"মোদের গরব মোদের আশা,
আ'মরি বাংলা ভাষা',"

After the massacre they sang this :

"প্রাণ দিয়েছি আরো দেব, জবান দেব না,
শহীদ তোমাদের রক্তদান ভুলব না।”

প্রতিবাদী কণ্ঠ থেকে উচ্চারিত হল,-

"বল আর কত জনকে হত্যা করবে?
প্রাণ নিয়েছো, আর ও প্রাণ বলি দেব।
কত প্রাণ চাও,
রক্তলোলুপ চালিহা ফিরে যাও।"

Bengali a race which has sacrificed everything for this country , till gets treated as foreigner in his own land.
