Attended a stand up open mic in Guwahati last Sunday

Hello good folks of this sub-reddit. I attended an awesome standup comedy open mic in Guwahati last Sunday, thanks to my Instagram algorithm.

Found this awesome comedy club in Guwahati who hosts regular comedy open mic in the city every weekend. If you want a fresh dose of good comedy open mic like Mumbai and Bangalore; no worries, Guwahati has it now.

DM me if you want the comedy club's Instagram if there are more folks like me looking for good hangout place on the weekend after a hectic week

30 years since his passing yet his idea of a composite Assam-where all indigenous communities are able to co-habitat & prosper, remains a dream.

The new generation is unaware of the many heroes this land has produced, hope this short clip gives a glimpse of one of such a son of Assam, Parag Das. His bravery n legasy will remain etched in the hearts of those who care for their motherland.

What exactly does “Babu” mean in “Mukhya Mantrir Nijut Babu Aasoni”? Does it mean “Babua”? Can anybody help me find this word and the meaning in Assamese dictionary.

Deportation statistis

So basically deportations have decreased to near negligible under NDA. If this is true, why are we even voting for this party?

Does the govt want to imply that laws will only b applied to non STs, while ST and TGL can do whatever they want? Why can't the govt play the role of mere night watchman?

Decline of the Asom Gana Parishad

From a party that led the anti-foreigners agitation, being signatories to the landmark Assam Accord, being the voice of regionalism, having the youngest CM of Assam till date- how is the AGP marginalized in the current polity of Assam?

Even in the 80s and 90s, power alternated between the AGP and Congress like a two-party polity (like in Tamil Nadu or Andhra or Kerala)

And even when AGP joined the NDA in 2001, it was the senior partner to BJP

Where did its votes go? I'm aware that the plains-tribes esp. Bodos had a "frenemy" like relation with the party (and that the Congress consolidated a section of non-Bodo plains-tribes, along with the tea tribes and a section of the hill tribes)

But what happened to its Assamese caste Hindu bloc?

Surely they made mistakes in power; but that doesn't explain their near extinction from the political scene

Dhonyobad 🙏
