IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 23, Issue 7, Ver. 10 (July. 2018) PP 45-50 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The TAI AHOM Movement in Northeast India: A Study of All Assam TAI AHOM Student Union Bornali Hati Boruah Research Scholar Dept. of Political science Assam University, Diphu campus, India Corresponding Author: Bornali Hati Boruah Abstract: The Ahoms, one of the foremost ethnic communities in the North East India are a branch of the Tai or Shan people. The Tai Ahoms entered the Brahmaputra valley from the east in the early part of the thirteenth century and their arrival heralded a new age for the people of the region. The ethnic group Tai Ahoms of Assam has been asserting their ethnic identity more than a century old today. The Ahoms who once ruled over Assam seek to maintain their distinct identity within the larger Assamese society. The Tai Ahoms of Assam faced a lot of problem after independence in different aspects. Moreover, though once Tai Ahoms ancestors were ruling race but today they have been squarely backward .They have been recognized as one of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category. As a measure to solve their multifold and multifaceted demands, the ethnic group Tai Ahoms has been struggling through their organizations. In present time, All Tai Ahom Student Union (ATASU) has been very much concerned about the various problems of Tai Ahoms community. While struggling for the overall development of the Tai Ahom community, rightly or wrongly the All Tai Ahom Student Union has been raising political issues and thus got involved in the politics of the state despite being a non-political organization. -

The environmental factors like the great earth quake of 1950 displaced many people in the state. Flood and river bank erosion too have caused displacement of many people in Assam every year. But the displacement which has drawn the attention of the social scientists is the internal displacement caused by conflicts and identity movements. The Official Language Movement of 1960 , Language movement of 1972 and the Assam movement(1979-1985) were the main identity movements which generated large scale violence conflicts and internal displacement in post colonial Assam .These identity movements and their consequence internal displacement can not be understood in isolation from the ethno –linguistic composition, colonial policy of administration, complex history of migration and the partition of the state in 1947.Considering these factors in the present study an attempt has been made to analyze the internal displacement caused by Language movements and Assam movement. KEYWORDS: displacement, conflicts, identity movements, linguistic composition DISCUSSION are concentrated in the different corners of the state. Some of The state of Assam is considered as mini India. It is these Tribes have assimilated themselves and have become connected with main land of India with a narrow patch of the part and parcel of Assamese nationality. -
'Bihu' in Assam Movement
Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935) Indexed by Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, ERIHPLUS Vol. 12, No. 1, January-March, 2020. 1-11 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V12/n1/v12n102.pdf DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v12n1.02 The Political role of ‘Bihu' in Assam movement (1979) Debajit Bora Assistant Professor, Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research, Jamia Millia Islamia, [email protected], ORCID id: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6424-2522 Abstract This paper aims to understand the political role of Assamese traditional performance ‘Bihu’ during Assam movement in 1979. It argues that beyond its role as Assamese cultural identity, ‘Bihu’ had transformed itself into a political space and fueled upon expanding the idea of Stage Bihu. While looking at the performance as medium of political messaging, the paper brings together the three specific case studies seemingly unknown in the documented cultural history and located in the rural Assam. The idea is to comprehend the larger scope of traditional performance in accommodating political events. The debates are being weaved together through theoretical frames of historian Eric Hobsbawm’s ‘Inventing tradition’ Thomas Postlewait’s ‘theatre event’ in order to see the transformation and changes within the repertoire of Bihu. The paper tries to resurrect an alternative historical discourse, often neglected by the dominant historical cannons. Keywords: performance, identity, Assam movement, politics, Assam. Introduction Assam movement, 1979 had emerged as one of the strong identity assertion movement in post Independent India mainly revolved around the issue illegal migration from Bangladesh. On June 8, 1979, the All Assam Students Union (AASU) sponsored a 12-hour general strike (bandh) in the state to demand the "detection, disenfranchisement and deportation" of foreigners. -

TRAINING REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2016 Training activities on Disaster Management (October, 2016 Report) Disaster Management is an area where people with necessary skills and expertise to carry the risk of facilitating disasters rather than prevent, mitigate or respond to them effectively. Therefore “Training” is an important component of the Disaster management system. It facilitates the strengthening of response mechanism as well as empowers all the stakeholders to take appropriate preparedness measures. The Community Based Disaster Preparedness (CBDP) training module is designed so as to prepare the community level volunteers/ organizations to deal with an emergency situation that may arise due to different hazards. The course provides the opportunity to learn essential knowledge and skills in disaster and to address implementation challenges in a systematic manner. The participants are provided with practical tools for design and implementation of programs for disaster preparedness through community capacity to promote a culture of safety. The NGO volunteers, CBO, Mahila Samittees, Gram Sevak, Self Help Groups, Anganwadi, ASHA etc. are targeted to be trained in CBDP. The Training on Public Health in Emergencies (PHE) is aimed at giving specialised guidance in public health promotion and protection, disease prevention, health assessment and disease surveillance during an emergency. State, local and block level Public Health Engineering officials; Health; and Social Welfare Department officials working in various sectors of sanitation & hygiene promotion are usually targeted as they are the immediate responders to these situations and they should have immediate access to guidance and information that will assist them in rapidly establishing priorities of undertaking necessary actions during the response to an emergency or disaster besides being duly prepared if any such calamity strikes. -

Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused. -

Socio-Cultural History of Assam: a B Rief Reflection
SOCIO-CULTURAL HISTORY OF ASSAM: A BRIEF REFLECTION DR. NURUL ISLAM CHAKDAR, Assistant Professor of History Abhayapuri College, Abhayapuri, Bongaigaon, Assam Abstract It would not be an exaggeration if we claim that the land of Assam is multicultural. It reflects that its socio-cultural history is diversity. However, nobody can deny unity among diversity in Assamese culture is composite. Even the society of Assam is a heterogeneous society. It has a unique variety of peoples of different human races. Sociological plurality is the main concept of Assamese society. In a sense, Assamese society is the outcome of different elements (castes and sub-castes), for example, between the pre-Aryan races and tribes and the Aryans etc. Different castes and sub-castes and so on makes dynamic social pattern of Assam. The present paper is an attempt to show how many ways the assimilation of various religious groups, castes and sub- castes makes composite culture or the social culture of Assam is the product of historical development. Briefly speaking, the different castes and sub-castes or classes ostensively have made the Assamese society as a plural society before the world. Key words: Assimilation, culture, heterogeneous, historical, society. Assam has a unique variety of peoples of different human race and of culture of both hills and plains. It comprises of different races and tribes or different socio-economic groups. The Assamese society, therefore, is a heterogeneous society. The Assamese society is a multi cultural, multi ethnic, multi religious and multi lingual society. Thus, sociological plurality is the key concept of Assamese society. -
