The Assamese Renaissance refers to a cultural and intellectual movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the state of Assam, India. This period saw a revival of Assamese literature, art, and social reform, driven by key figures like Bhupen Hazarika and Lakshminath Bezbaroa. The movement aimed to promote Assamese identity and heritage, fostering a sense of pride among the local population. During this time, there was a significant emphasis on education and social reform, addressing issues like caste discrimination and women's rights. The establishment of institutions such as Gauhati University and various literary societies played a crucial role in this transformation, encouraging the growth of Assamese language and culture.
