Division of Assam

Since the dawn when India achieved independence from the British rule, Assam had been afflicted by its own tale of freedom fights. The Nagas carved out Nagaland, the Khasis, Garos and the Jayantias carved out Meghalaya, the Manipuris carved out Manipur, the Mizos carved out Mizoram from Assam. Being slimmed after the cleavages, Assam yet faces minefields of divisions. One of the most striking approaches for Independence has been made by the Bodos.
