Bideshat Apon Manuh is one Assamese television serial that takes one across the
seas to introduce the sons of the soil settled abroad, earning a name for
themselves there while glorifying Assam and its unique heritage and tradition
in an alien land. The effort of this one of a kind serial is all the more
praiseworthy because people also get to visit different destinations without
leaving the cosy comforts of their living room or bedroom.
Its good news that this popular serial, telecast every Sunday at 7:30 pm, has
got an extension for yet another 26 episodes. Bideshat Apon Manuh (Dwitiya) is
already on air with its telecast commencing on May 18 at the same time slot.

of Delaware, USA. Moushumi Brahma and her young daughters are accomplished Bihu
dancers and they have popularised Bihu by participating in various community
gatherings in the United States.
The serial crew for its second avatar travelled to countries like Austria,
Germany, Norway, Switzerland, etc to meet the prominent Assamese people staying
in those places. Later, it covered the United States, starting with Houston
