Jokai is definitely an Assamese word. Jokai India
Limited is in Tea business and owns many TEs. Though
it is a Indian Company (In fact multi-national), it
took Assamese name because of Tea and working in
Assam. BTW, the company changed name to Russel
Industries (India) Ltd about 12 years ago.

That is good to know. Actually I haven't heard about
Jokai India Limited. I thought it was an Assamese
word, it is a bit surprising to see it as an Indian
company. .
BTW, we missed your name too. You always send us
correct information about the Assamese words. Thank
you and keep up the good work.

I
want to add something in this regard ...
'Jokai' is a familiar name in Assam. If you go through
the assamese newspapers regularly
you will
come
across many places called 'Jokai' situated in
different parts
of Assam.
I personally know a place called 'Jokai' ( including a
village and a
big reserve forest called 'Jokai reserve forest' ),
which is
around
10 Km away from Dibrugarh towards Burhidihing river.
Every
one must be knowing the company called 'Jokai India
Limited' .
