In a spicy reveal, the Tewary Commission of Enquiry has uncovered a surprising fact: the fear of Assamese people being outnumbered by outsiders was noticed by British rulers way before any groups formed the famous Assam Agitation. This agitation was a major event where Assamese locals protested to protect their identity and rights. But guess what? This nervousness about outsiders wasn’t new. The British administrators saw it much earlier and even noted down this feeling as a concern. The Commission’s report highlights this old worry, showing how deep this fear runs in Assam’s history. This discovery adds an exciting twist to our understanding of Assam’s socio-political story, showing the roots of the agitation stretch back to colonial times. It’s like the British had a crystal ball and predicted the trouble that brewing later. So next time you hear about the Assam Agitation, remember it was not just a sudden outburst but a flame that started flickering in the British era, warns the Tewary Commission.
