Assamese Nationalism refers to the cultural and political movement aimed at promoting the identity and rights of the Assamese people in the state of Assam, India. This movement emphasizes the preservation of the Assamese language, culture, and heritage, often in response to perceived threats from migration and globalization. The roots of Assamese Nationalism can be traced back to the early 20th century, with significant events like the Assam Movement in the 1980s, which sought to address issues of illegal immigration and protect the interests of indigenous communities. This nationalism plays a crucial role in shaping the socio-political landscape of Assam today.
