Abstract
Assam has been suffering from tensions and cleavages between different ethnic groups. The postcolonial Indian state’s management of ethnicity in Assam has been problematic as Assam continues to experience bloody ethnic strife, ruthless insurgencies, and the deaths of civilians. In northeast India, there are indigenous-immigrant tension and clash, sons-of-soil movements, demands for affirmative action for the backward majority indigenous population, primacy of the indigenous language, culture and public symbols, deep-rooted identity issues intertwined with perceptions of socioeconomic domination and discrimination, and so on. Keeping in mind the above facts this paper tries to analyse the issue of immigration and language policy of Assam in the post-independent period which resulted inter-ethnic conflict in Assam. Further, it will try to understand the response of the federal as well as the provincial government to these issues.
