The effort to do audio-visual documentation of the people of Assamese origin in Myanmar and Bangladesh is really a commendable one. My best wishes to the project. It's also a great idea to have some kind of scholarship for students from among these communities to study Assamese in an educational institution in Assam. However, I have my doubts about the feasibility of having a whole department to look after issues related to these communities. After all, due to historical reasons, they are citizens of another country (or countries) now, just like the Tamil origin people of Malaysia, the Bihar origin peoples of the West Indies and the Gujarati-origin people of Kenya (and many other such Indian-origin communities in many other countries). I will be waiting eagerly to have a chance to watch the film when it's complete.
