GUWAHATI: The Tribal Studies Centre and Department of History at Assam University’s Diphu Campus are hosting a national seminar on March 6 and March 7 examining the intricate political, social, and economic landscape of Assam since 1980.
The seminar, titled “Assam After 1980: Politics, Identity, and Development,” will delve into the profound transformations that have shaped the state over the past four decades.
The Assam Movement (1979-85), a pivotal moment in the state’s history, serves as the starting point for this exploration. The movement, characterized by protests and ethnic violence stemming from anxieties over illegal immigration, ignited a series of events that continue to resonate today.
