GUWAHATI: Though there might be a conflicting situation in the state at present, the bond between Assamese and Bengalis dates back to the pre-independence days and it is the best in the country, expressed some Guwahatians.
City-based social activist, Ajoy Dutta said, “In entire India, there is no bond between two communities the way it is in Assam between the Assamese and Bengalis who have always lived in Assam with mutual love and respect.”
Dutta said that there are many Assamese families in Assam where there are Bengali brides; similarly, in many Bengali families, there are Assamese brides.
He said the old Bengalis of Assam are not at all concerned about the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and they are just concerned about their names getting listed in the National Register of Citizens (NRC) like the Assamese.

He said that the killing in Tinsukia is a planned strategy by some external forces that are anti-Assamese because “a true Axomia will never kill his brothers.”
Similarly, many Guwahatians talking to G Plus said that Assamese and Bengalis have the most endearing bond in the country.
