r/BengalisofAssam

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.

The comments on these types of posts are usually derogatory or disrespectful. The problem is not whether they are opposing the decision to name the road after Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee itself, but how can people call him Bangladeshi or ask, “Who is he?”
Besides being the founding father of one of the major political parties, he played a major role in opposing Article 370. His contributions to Assam and Bengal played a major role in India.

-R.C. Majumdar, in his work History of the Freedom Movement in India, stated that it was due to the efforts of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee that Assam’s issue was brought into the national discourse. It was not treated as a marginal provincial concern. He called Shyama Prasad Mukherjee the “saviour” of the eastern frontier of India. Similarly, Bal Raj Madhok, who was one of Mukherjee’s contemporaries, viewed Assam as the ‘Eastern Sentinel’ of India. He argued that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee’s resistance regarding Assam was not just about a territorial issue, but also about the protection of the cultural and religious identity of the Northeast. Balraj Madhok gives credit to Mukherjee for using his position in the Constituent Assembly to lobby members to lend support to Assam for its right to opt out of the grouping scheme.
-Assamese cultural personality Pranjal Saikia paid tribute to SP Mookerjee for his unconditional support to Assam and Asomiya society at a critical juncture in time.
The post is solely made to recognise the efforts that many are dismissing and making disrespectful comments about.

The official census taken from time to time, since the British occupation, show that the Bengalees had a good majority in the Cachar Valley Burns, in 1837, had found that “a large proportion' of the population was Bengalee.
Of the total population of 85,522 in 1851, there were 60,281 Bengalees.
Given the book- “Cachar under British Rule North East India, J B Bhattacharjee”

Another source says that, “With an estimated 50,000 people, the people of Southern Cachar are divided into several communities,
each with its own distinctive traditions. When it came to combining Hindu and native customs, the Cacharies,while not the most numerous, were crucial to the administration of the area.” (Talks about administrative dominance as the capital was in south Cachar) The population of Dimasa were mostly concentrated in north Cachar and South Cachar was Bengali dominated.

Cachar has been ruled by several kingdoms throughout history, including the Koch kingdom and later the Dimasa Kachari kingdom. These kingdoms undoubtedly influenced the region’s population and culture. However, when discussing the earliest known inhabitants, Bengali archaeological and historical evidence is also present.

As J. B. Bhattacharjee wrote:
“Cachar was an extension of the ‘Gangetic Bengal’ and even before the Koch rule several Bengalee settlements had developed in Cachar as a result of the natural movement of the people towards the east. No wonder, therefore, the official language of the kingdom was Bengali, while the coins and inscriptions of the Heramba rulers were inscribed in Sanskrit in Bengali script. The earliest Bengalee inhabitants of the valley belonged to agrarian classes, the Painis, for example.”

Geographically, the Barak Valley formed part of the greater Bengal region in ancient times, and early Bengali settlements had already taken place before any kingdom rule even began. The influence of the Koch and later the Dimasa Kachari kingdoms became prominent during the 17th century, and 18th century marking the shift of the capital to Khaspur marking an important phase in Cachar’s political history.

Demographically, the Barak Valley remained predominantly Bengali, which also helps explain why both the Koch and the Dimasa Kachari administrations adopted Bengali as the court language.

Bengali Sylheti cultural presence did not develop here solely through migration. The Cachar plains and Sylhet were already part of the Surma Valley, making them a shared geographical region. In early times the boundary Srihattamandala or Srihattarajya extended to its natural limits and the donated villages mentioned in some of these inscriptions were scattered over Cachar, Karimganj and Sylhet districts and the Kailasahar-Dharmanagar area of Tripura. The culture of the Bengalis of Cachar, or the Barak Valley, has been shaped since the time of the Harikela, Chandra, and Deva dynasties, evolving into the dialect now known as Sylheti or Srihatta Bangla in this region, which was part of Srihattamandala in the ancient kingdoms.

During the 17th-18th century era Dimasa Kacharis and Bengalis through governance, culture, religion, trade, and everyday life. Their relationship included cooperation, cultural exchange, and coexistence.

Ashok singhal, health minister of 2026 Assam cabinet, cannot even pronounce the word "ENCEPHALITIS". He seems to have no knowledge about the "vaccination" for JE either, blaming the "season" for it.

Dr. Rajdeep Roy, Orthopedic surgeon, MLA from silchar, should have been the health minister of Assam.
