In Ujoni Oxom ( in and around Tinsukia district ) ,the ' jolokias' in question are called ' bhoot jolokia or ' bih jolokia '.The name ' bhot jolokia' is perhaps unheard of in that part of the world. In Namoni Oxom ( Kamrup district in particular ), the chillies,in general, are called ' bhijlook'.

I am from Tinsukia district, born and brought up there, never heard of bhoot jolokiya, though. It is true some people pronounce the "o" as "u", but that does not make a ghost out of a tribe name, as far as the meaning is concerned. It also does not justify the poor homework, on part of the corre

Re: [Assam] 'Bhut jolokia is world's hottest chi lli'

The problem of transliteration here is what is causing the confusion. The name in Upper Assam is 'bhwt jolokiya' or more commonly 'bih jolokiya'. I like the sound of ' bhijlook'; its cute :-). But for some ignoramus of a reporter making it 'bhoot jolokiya' or 'ghost chilli' is taking litera

I am a Tinsukian in every sense of the meaning and very well-conversant with the language,including local dialects.Could anyone explain to me why these chillies are stratified as bih jolokia,although they are certainly not poisonous? In my considered opinion,they are classified as bhoot jolokia p

Re: [Assam] �Bhut jolokia is world�s hottest chilli�

The answer is in the Assamese spelling of the stated chilli, i.e. bh't o kare bho and murdhonyo to <ভোট> which is not the same spelling as bhut <ভূত>. At least the concerned correspondents could have got a clue from the Assamese spelling of the stated jolokiya. Best Priyankoo kamal deka <[EMAI
