Here:
"Assam IS for
the Assamese -- those who BELONG to Assam. It is their homeland. It
includes many different ethnic groups.
Ahoms, Bodos, Dimasas, Misings, Karbis-- etc. etc.Assam is NOT the
homeland for Biharis, not for Marwaris, not for B'deshis. They can be
guests there. And become Assamese in time thru a
process of assimilation. But they cannot REMAIN itinerant
Marwaris and Biharis and B'deshis but claim to be Assamese at the same
time. That is the difference" - Chandan Mahanta (Dec
