Not that it made much of a positive difference to Assam, but just to state a fact, a former President of India (F.A. Ahmed) was indeed an MP from Assam & played a much greater (and longer) role in the politics of the state than one of its later MPs - the current Prime Minister of India. In fact, Ahmed was a minister in the first Bordoloi ministry in Assam in 1938. As to whether F. A. Ahmed could be called Assamese remains an open question... Santanu.
