Assamese nationalism

Assamese nationalism is a sense of identity and pride among the Assamese people, a major ethnic group in Assam, India. It emphasizes their unique culture, language, and history, especially in response to concerns about immigration and cultural dilution. This nationalism often focuses on promoting the Assamese language, preserving traditions, and advocating for political rights and autonomy within India. It gained prominence in the late 20th century, particularly during movements for recognition and protection of their identity amid regional and demographic changes. Overall, it reflects a desire for self-determination and cultural preservation.
