Why are there so many Bengalees in Assam ?
In 1757 Robert Clive, the head of East India Company won the battle of Plassey and came to the thrown of Bengal, ruling from Kolkatta which was the then capital of India. The English thus became the ruler of India in the guise of a business company. Eventually the British became the ruler of 80% land of India. The vast Eastern India was ruled by the governor of Bengal.
Bengal presidency under British was a very vast area of about 5 lakh square kms and is presently inhabited by 30 crores of population consisting mainly of the Bengalees. To solve this problem the English had decided to divided Bengal Presidency in 1872. Later in 1874 the eastern area of Bengal was reduced. The districts of Dhubri, Goalpara, Nowgoan, Kamrup etc were formed.
The British had occupied Assam in 1824 and had first included and the later separated it from Bengal Presidency in 1912.
Later with 12 Police Station area of Sylet(Srihatta) naming Cachar district (which is presently Shilchar, Hylakandi and Karimganj dist) was joined to Assam. These were all Bengalee inhabited areas. A journey of about 140 years (1878-2017). The Bengalees extended their homeland along the sides of river Brahamputra.
What is the history of the district of Cachar, Goalpara, Dhubri, Nagaon and Kamrup of Assam
The Cachar, Goalpara, Dhubri, Naogaon and Kamrup districts are the Bengali speaking districts of Assam.
How this region came under Assam ?
Historically the bengalee king of this area was Shiva Singha and the capital of his kingdom was Haflong. The British occupied Cachar after defeating him. The areas of Goalpara, Coochbihar, Sitai, Dinhata, Mathabhanga and Shitalkuchi formerly constituted Rangpur sub-division of the Bengal Presidency.The inhabitants of Cachar district were originally Bengalees.
Before the British occupied this region, it was included within the Coochbihar Native State. Later Goalpara was separated and the remaining portion was known as the British Rangpur sub-division. Goalpara was made a separate district with its headquarters at Dhubri. The northern part of Dhubri is adjacent to Bhutan and the inhabitants are mainly Rajbangshi Bengalees who speak the Rangpuri dialect of Bengali.
In the census reports their mother tongue is wrongly recorded as Assamese. The northern part of Nagoan district is full of forests and jungles, and the southern part is hilly and also full of forests which are inhabited by elephants. Most of the population are Bengalees who speak Bengali. Only a small number of people speak Assamese, and most of these people use surnames such as Mandal, Bhunya, etc. In Hojai, Lanka and Lumding all the people are Bengalees.
The headquarters of the Kamrup district is Guahati which is also the capital of Assam. The people are mostly Assamese in Guahati. Some of the sub-divisions like Nalbari, Barpeta, Haoli, etc. are full of forests and are the Bengali speaking areas. Some parts of Barpeta district are entirely Bengali speaking, but the number of Bengali Muslims is more than the number of Bengali Hindus.
What about the people named AHOM race? History says they entered into the Bramhaputra valley through Burma (presently known as Mayanmar in 1689). In 1824 British government occupied so called AHOM and formed separate state of Assam with the District of Dhubri, Goyalpara, Nowgoan, Cachar , Karimganj, Hylakandi etc of mainly Bengalee inhabited areas. Later after independence of India , Mizoram, Manipur, Nagalang, Arunachal Pradesh became separate states as they were different tribal areas.
From Early 1900s to currently the Bengalees are the biggest linguistic group of the present Assam.
So even as Bengalees are the original sons of the soil, the AHOM people are of Mongolian origin have entered India as invaders from Mayanmar. Human civilization progressed along side of rivers. The bengalee race are a blending of three races of Austric-Mongolian-Aryan, a blending of the riverrine civilizations of Mayurakhi-Damodar-Subernarekha (Austrics of Rarh) , aryans of the Gangetic planes and the Mongolian tribes of the Bramhaputra planes. They are occuping this area for the last 4500 years.The Bengalees are also the most racially blended race in the world.
So what is the solution to this conflict?
Very recently Bihar was broken and Jharkhand was formed, Madhya Pradesh gave birth to Chattishgarh, Uttar Pradesh to Uttrakhand, Andhra Pradesh yeilded Telangana.
Divide Assam and make a separate state with Dhubri, Goyalpara, Nowgaon, Cachar(Shilchar), Karimganj, Hylakandi etc of the Bengalee speaking areas in accordance with Article-3 of the Indian Constitution.
And STOP torturing the Bengalees in ASSAM immediately!
Why are there so many Bengalees in Assam ?
What is the original-land of the Bengalee race?
Why their homeland now falls in the state of Assam and why are they brutally tortured?
These questions are vibrating in the atmosphere of Eastern India.
Who will answer?
Who will reply?
What does does history say?
Have they all migrated from Bangladesh after partition ?
