Comment
The state of Assam as of today is a divided place, as a res000ult of influx of non Mongoloid people in to the region from across the border both from India and Bangladesh.
The shift towards domination by Indians and Muslims started after the British take over in 1826 and climxed in the 1940's with the Congress party bringing in crores of Bangladeshis in to the region to secure their win in future Parliamentary and State elections.
Assam which was originally a Mongoloid land now is being taken over by Bangladeshis and High Cast Hindu Indians and traders from Rajeshthan.
All this has resulted in alieanation of the indegenous tribal population from the developmental process, giving rise to seperatist movement and inter tribal clashes.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Santanuburagohain (talk • contribs) 07:04, 29 June 2006
"Mongoloid" is not the correct description for Han and Mongol race origin. Rather, it is a description used to describe people with a specific genetic abnormality called mongolism. As to your points, please feel free to contribute to the article with cited references to include your observations of contemporary North Eastern India. Andmark (talk) 00:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Multiple issues with lead
There are currently multiple issues with the lead:
- The pronunciation of Assam is not /əˈsæm/. This is a faux-anglisized pronunciation, not used anywhere in the world. Here is a BBC reporter saying Assam:
- This is the name of the state, which includes two major valleys and hills. So, Assam Valley, which is synonymous with the Brahmaputra is definitely not what this article is just about.
- Assam was not an "original" province of British India. The Assam province was created midway after carving out Sylhet from Bengal.
- What is exquisite natural resources?
- The first paragraph fails to even place it---where is Assam?
- Swami Vivekananda visited Shillong. So when he described the beauty of Assam he actually means present-day Meghalaya.
- There is no longer an abundance of forests.
I am reverting the lead. Please do not change the lead without a discussion here.
