After securing the eastern tract, Suhungmung than expanded his kingdom westwards through conquest and extended it till Marangi to the west of the <a href="/wiki/Dhansiri" title="Dhansiri">Dhansiri</a> river. When the Kacharis tried to regain the lost territory they were defeated and their capital <a href="/wiki/Dimapur" title="Dimapur">Dimapur</a> was sacked. Over the remaining part of the Kachari kingdom, a new king Detsung was placed as a tributary, but Detsung proved disloyal and revolted against the Ahoms. He was subsequently executed. A new dependent king was set up on the Kachari throne with the name of Nirbhaynarayan. Since then the Kachari kings were regarded as 'thapita sanchita' meaning - established and maintained by the Ahom rulers. Suhungmung's reign also witnessed the first Muslim-invasions of the kingdom. After a series of battle, the invaders were roundly defeated and were chased up to <a href="/wiki/Karatoya_River" title="Karatoya River">Karatoya River</a>. The Sultan of Bengal, terrified by the approaching army of Suhungmung, made peace by offering his two daughters and five paraganas, along with other articles as dowry to the king. The rising Koch king <a href="/wiki/Biswa_Singha" title="Biswa Singha">Biswa Singha</a> also offered his submission, and the Ahom general Ton-Kham granted him all the territories that were received as dowry from the Sultan of Bengal on the condition of annual tribute.<a href="#cite_note-33">[32]</a> The successors of Suhungmung, <a href="/wiki/Suklenmung" title="Suklenmung">Suklenmung</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sukhaamphaa" title="Sukhaamphaa">Sukhaamphaa</a>, sent many expeditions against the Bhuyans and Nagas.

to Assam Government, Assam has border dispute with four states namely Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh.<a href="#cite_note-The_Times_of_India-145">[144]</a> Assam-Mizoram dispute <a href="/wiki/Mizoram" title="Mizoram">Mizoram</a> used to be a district of Assam as <a href="/wiki/Lushai_hills" class="mw-redirect" title="Lushai hills">Lushai hills</a> before being carved out as a separate union territory and later, becoming another state in 1987. Because of the history, the district's borders did not really matter for locals for a long time. Mizoram shares a border with the districts <a href="/wiki/Cachar" class="mw-redirect" title="Cachar">Cachar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hailakandi" title="Hailakandi">Hailakandi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Karimganj" title="Karimganj">Karimganj</a> which comes under <a href="/wiki/Barak_valley" class="mw-redirect" title="Barak valley">Barak valley</a> region of Assam. Over time, the two states started having different perceptions about where the demarcation should be. While Mizoram wants it to be along an <a href="/wiki/Inner_Line_Permit" title="Inner Line Permit">Inner Line Permit</a> notified in 1875 to protect tribals from outside influence, which Mizos feel is part of their historical homeland, Assam wants it to be demarcated according to district boundaries drawn up much later.<a href="#cite_note-The_Times_of_India-145">[144]</a><a href="#cite_note-146">[145]</a> Assam-Meghalaya dispute <a href="/wiki/Meghalaya" title="Meghalaya">Meghalaya</a> has identified close to a dozen areas on which it has a dispute with Assam about the state's borders.

Both the states have agreed to individually assess the claims for all 12 areas flagged by Meghalaya in the past. A second round of discussion between the two state CMs will be held next month of August. On the question of the role the Union Government is playing in redressing the inter-State border dispute in the country, minister of state for home affairs <a href="/wiki/Nityanand_Rai" title="Nityanand Rai">Nityanand Rai</a> said, "The approach of the Central Government has consistently been that inter-state disputes can be resolved only with the cooperation of the State Governments concerned and that the Central Government acts only as a facilitator for amicable settlement of the dispute in the spirit of mutual understanding."<a href="#cite_note-The_Times_of_India-145">[144]</a> Assam-Nagaland dispute The border dispute between the two states has been going on since the formation of Nagaland in 1963. The two states lay claim to Merapani, a small village next to the plains of Assam's Golaghat district. There have been reports of violent clashes in the region since the 1960s.<a href="#cite_note-The_Times_of_India-145">[144]</a><a href="#cite_note-147">[146]</a> Assam-Arunachal Pradesh dispute Assam shares an 804.10 km inter-state boundary with <a href="/wiki/Arunachal_Pradesh" title="Arunachal Pradesh">Arunachal Pradesh</a>. The state of Arunachal Pradesh, created in 1987, claims some land that traditionally belonged to its residents has been given to Assam.

Karbi Anglong was previously known as Mikir Hills. It was part of the Excluded Areas and Partially Excluded Areas (the present North East India) in British India. The British Indian government had never included this area under their government's jurisdiction. Thereby, no government development work or activity were done, nor any tax levied from the hills including Karbi Anglong. The first memorandum for a <a href="/wiki/Karbi_people" title="Karbi people">Karbi</a> homeland was presented to Governor Reid on 28 October 1940 by <a href="/wiki/Semsonsing_Ingti" title="Semsonsing Ingti">Semsonsing Ingti</a> and Khorsing Terang at Mohongdijua.<a href="#cite_note-168">[167]</a> The Karbi leaders were then, a part of the All Party Hill Leaders' Conference (APHLC) which was formed on 6 July 1960.<a href="#cite_note-169">[168]</a> The movement again gained momentum when the Karbi Anglong District Council passed a resolution demanding a Separate State in 1981. Then again from 1986 through the leadership of Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC), demanded Autonomous statehood of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao under Article 244(A). In 2002, the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council passed another resolution to press for the demand of statehood. Several other memoranda were submitted at different times by several organisations. The demand for a separate state turned violent on 31 July 2013 when student demonstrators set government buildings on fire. Following the incident, the elected leaders of Karbi Anglong jointly submitted a memorandum to the <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_India" title="Prime Minister of India">Prime Minister of India</a> demanding a separate State.

According to recent analysis, Assam's economy is showing signs of improvement. In 2001–02, the economy grew (at 1993–94 constant prices) at 4.5%, falling to 3.4% in the next financial year.<a href="#cite_note-GoAESA0405-228">[227]</a> During 2003–04 and 2004–05, the economy grew (at 1993–94 constant prices) at 5.5% and 5.3% respectively.<a href="#cite_note-GoAESA0405-228">[227]</a> The advanced estimates placed the growth rate for 2005–06 at above 6%.<a href="#cite_note-government2005-223">[222]</a> Assam's GDP in 2004 is estimated at $13 billion in current prices.

This problem can be attributed to overpopulation and a faulty education system. Every year, large numbers of students obtain higher academic degrees but because of non-availability of proportional vacancies, most of these students remain unemployed.<a href="#cite_note-230">[229]</a><a href="#cite_note-231">[230]</a> A number of employers hire over-qualified or efficient, but under-certified, candidates, or candidates with narrowly defined qualifications. The problem is exacerbated by the growth in the number of technical institutes in Assam which increases the unemployed community of the State. The reluctance on the part of the departments concerned to advertise vacancies in vernacular language has also made matters worse for local unemployed youths particularly for the job-seekers of Grade C and D vacancies.<a href="#cite_note-232">[231]</a><a href="#cite_note-233">[232]</a> Reduction of the unemployed has been threatened by <a href="/wiki/Illegal_immigration" title="Illegal immigration">illegal immigration</a> from Bangladesh.

It is a series of three prominent festivals each associated with a certain stage during the cultivation of paddy. Primarily a secular festival celebrated to mark the seasons and the significant points of a cultivator's life over yearly cycle. Three Bihus, rongali (in the month of bohag), celebrated with the coming of spring and the beginning of the sowing season; kongali or kati, the barren bihu when the fields are lush but the barns are empty and <a href="/wiki/Bhogali_Bihu" class="mw-redirect" title="Bhogali Bihu">bhogali</a> (in the month of magh), the thanksgiving when the crops have been harvested and the granaries are full. Bihu songs and <a href="/wiki/Bihu_dance" title="Bihu dance">Bihu dance</a> are associated with rongali and bhogali bihu. The day before the each bihu is known as the day of Uruka. The first day of 'Rongali bihu' is called 'Goru bihu' (the bihu of the cows), when the cows are taken to the nearby rivers or ponds to be bathed with special care. In recent times the form and nature of celebration has changed with the growth of urban centres. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bwisagu_Dance.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Bwisagu_Dance.jpg/220px-Bwisagu_Dance.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Bwisagu_Dance.jpg/330px-Bwisagu_Dance.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Bwisagu_Dance.jpg/440px-Bwisagu_Dance.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4128" data-file-height="3096" /></a><figcaption>Traditional Bwisagu dance</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Bwisagu" title="Bwisagu">Bwisagu</a> is one of the most popular seasonal festivals of the <a href="/wiki/Bodo_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Bodo people">Bodos</a>.
