KNOW THE FACTS :::::::::::YOUR HISTORY
Noted historian Shri H.K. Barpujari said, geographically, culturally and ethnically, Barak valley was an extension of the Gangetic valley of Bengal, and historically, there was hardly any evidence to prove that the plains of Cachar ever formed an integral part of the ancient kingdom of Kamrup.
Barak Gana Parishad,led by president Rati Ranjan Roy, during a meeting with Assam chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, in 1998, maintained that Cachar (undivided) was never a part of Assam according to the Treaty of Yandaboo (signed between British and Assam in 1826), and as the British occupied Barak valley six years after occupation of other parts of Assam, and therefore “ we (BGP) have every right to demand statehood status for Barak valley districts.”
The demand had cropped up in the wake of an unsuccessful movement by some quarters in 1948 for a separate state “Purbanchal”.
Most of the students’ community and youths of Barak Valley are not properly educated in these matters. They try to obtain degrees and look for jobs. When they don’t find one they do not sit down and ponder, why? Ask a so-called educated person of Barak Valley any basic question, they will fall flat on the ground, thanks to their university degrees!
People of Barak valley pay Rs 300 crore annually as revenue to the state exchequer, whereas the state government does not even spend Rs 100 crore for development of the area. The Assam government has failed to provide the minimum requirements for the people of the area,
