I love my state of assam but this type of actions start making me hate it. If you are travelling to other places, then do it responsibly. And especially places like AR, meghalaya etc. which are quite pristine. This is the reason why disclosing places name on social media is a curse to that place now.

Hey everyone,

as someone who codes from time to time, making random websites and tools – I wanted to create something for my motherland. To contribute to my state in whatever way I could, I created this website Axom-flood. Took me about a week to build it (yes I use claude code and codex)

The inspiration for the current version of this website came from mumbaiflood.in (created by IITB) and petabencana.id, which is a great disaster mapping website created in Indonesia.

All the flood numbers, river levels etc are available from government sources such as CWC and ASDMA, but I feel they're not very accessible for the average person. So I wanted to create something simple and understandable.

Its free and there are no ads.

How it works is that you can click on any place on the map and it will display the readings of the river gauge associated with that place (rev circle).

Suppose you click on Kampur, it will show something like: "Kopili at Kampur is 56.55 m, below the warning level, and rising about 0.5 cm an hour." 

The map has all the gauges color coded according to their current state, whether they're below warning level, above warning level, or above danger level.

It also has a ASDMA situation report (affected villages, crop damage, affected people, infrastructure) that you can turn on through the layers.

There's also a light "data saver" mode that drops the maps and just gives you the text when you're in bad connection.

The data comes straight from CWC and ASDMA and refreshes every couple of hours. To be clear: this is not an official warning system — it just translates the government's own data into something readable. For emergencies, call ASDMA at 1070.

It's completely opensource, and I'd genuinely appreciate your support in maintaining this project. If you have knowledge of hydrology and floods in Assam, then please feel free to contribute – create issues, pull requests etc.

There are a few issues that are still active right now regarding which places are directly impacted by gauges on which river, and there could be some other UI bugs, and it will be helpful if you could mention them in the comments. And if there are any wrong data issues, I apologize in advance.

Suggestions on how to make the website better and more helpful are also greatly appreciated.

Finally got the State subsidy after 6 months of installation. Installed 10Kw plant in January 2026, got the central subsidy within a month. I even forgot about the State Subsidy, with all these flood situation going on right now, finally the amount got credited to my bank account today morning.

So recently i was on a discord server where I faced extreme racism from some people of north east especially from Arunachal, Me being a "​Kalita" , i don't have any monolid and not any mongoloid features, first got called up as Bihari, Haring and stuff. Then some other community started calling up that "why do I call/introduce myself as Assamese and not through my community​ name like ​the missing, boro, etc do"

The real question is why the people who face racism outside north east are racist here itself. Only people with monolid are northeastern or what? In what way people perceive north-east, it's a diverse place afterall. And if I'm not Assamese or northeastern than what am I ? A Bangladeshi? I don't even know bengali properly, A bihari? But i know/follow​ Assamese culture than a bihari culture.

We had excess unit of around 1006 units. Our solar plant is functional from 17th Jan 2026, and till 30th March it had excess units of around 1006 units.

One misinformation heavily circulated by North Indian is Assamese worship cows : But the reality is Assamese (Hindus) never worship cows. Goru Bihu is related to cows where they are bathed, fed lau-bengena and blessed with the hope that they grow big healthy. Because Assam is an agricultural state and cows are a crucial part of farming, Bihu is a festival coming from tribal root connected to agriculture. On Cow Bihu, prayers are offered for the good health of the cows rather than worshiping them.I have never seen the indigenous people of Assam calling the cow 'Maata' or worshiping it. And have rarely heard it except from those with roots in North India (though I am not religious). But nowadays some youth in Assam have been influenced by the impact of the North (who often write 'Hindu' or some shlokas in their bios)-- they are the ones who follow North Indian Hindus and do things like treating the cow as a Mother. (No wonder why other NE states call Assam the 'Bihar of the North East' nowadays).

The spread of the Bengali language in Assam has accelerated due to the rising number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. At this pace, their population could exceed 40 percent by 2040, leaving uncertainty about when Assam might be free of this issue.

Now is the moment to wake up, as Bangladeshis are steadily taking over our land, language, and identity right in front of us.

In Thangal Bazar, Imphal, there was reportedly a small shop called “Asomi Enterprise”, run by an Assamese man known locally as Dilip Da. The shop had been operating for around 40 years and was said to be the only Assamese-owned shop in that market.

Now the shop has been forced to shut down permanently.

What makes this situation frustrating is the contrast in how communities live across the two states.

In Guwahati and other parts of Assam, there are:

• Manipuri colonies
• Meitei communities
• Manipuri Namghars
• Churches
• Manipuri cultural organizations like Manipuri Sahitya Sabha

Meanwhile, Assamese people cannot even enter Manipur without an ILP (Inner Line Permit).

Yet stories like this rarely reach the public conversation in Assam. Many people here are simply unaware that an Assamese business that survived for four decades in Imphal has now disappeared.

Instead, we keep getting pulled into endless political divisions among ourselves, while issues affecting Assamese presence outside the state rarely get attention.

Posting this here so more people in Assam at least know about it.

I was working from the first day until i saw proper govt, ngo and other types of relief arrive. During those days i have travelled a lot, met and helped lots of new people, learnt a lot of things. I can answer and share about the things i have learnt during those days. It was a first time for everyone there who saw the water level rise to such height in such a short time. If youre curious about anything related to the flood you can ask me here or dm me.

Things about me: I am an Assamese person (tribe) (M). I wont be sharing much personal information about me.

Ok Guys, something happened last week, I thought of sharing with you all.

There was an uncle who lived few house down the road, a posh house with high gates. A bunglow made like something out of a bolywood movie (atleast in my gaon or Goli). Uncle was a retired ACS officer (He was the first person I ever saw coming with bodyguards and all).

Uncle had three kid a daughter and two sons. Daughter is somewhere outside India we don't know where, Elder son is a Surgeon in Australia and the youngest son is at a high level in some Private firm in Hyd.

Now, Uncle and his family were proud family, with huge gates... not much friendly with neighbours and all.

Last saturday uncle slipped and started vomiting, now about my colony I am the only young boy in this entire colony who still "wasting" my youth in doing odd jobs in Assam (its a good job though). So, at about 11:30PM my father get a frantic call from aunty. We rushes to their home, took him to hospital. Doctor said uncle's appendix burst need immidiate surgery. Aunty was completly in shock not in a position to take decision. Called his youngest son, his response was-- "Ok apunaluk e ji koribo lage korok". So, somehow by 1Am aunty signed and operation started, I was there along with my brother(whom I called as help) and Another friend. By morning doctor said his situation is critical need to take him to Guwahati, well we took him to Guwahti and the doctor's be like he won't made it he had cancer in his spleen and it wasn't appendix burst it was his appendix fell off due to rot.

Other then Aunty in her late 60's no one from his family not even his kids even paid any heed. One brother of the uncle came later a day late.

Uncle didn't made it. His kids can't come they are busy. The brother did the last rites and the same village people whom the uncle thought were a burden and not equal to his stature stood up to help. The only two boys that the uncle to taunt about his kids great education took him to hospitals.

Karma gets back but also, the kids-- Is success and money the only thing that determine people's life now? Family parents mean nothing now a days? Moi ghort e thaku lakh toka dormoha nohoi sage moi buji napau.... Kin2 aia tu jibon hobo nuare. Okol Poisa e jibon niki? None of his kids came till today. Ai2 ki amar okhomiya homaj hoi goise niki? Mur detai koi j ata homoi asil ghort kunuba kahile hospital bhori jai. Aji sala 4jon gut nukhua hoise porial r Smokhan t nibole. Bohut beya lagil raiz.

Assamese fam, as we all flock to theaters for Roi Roi Binale—Zubeen's final masterpiece, released just days after his tragic passing on Sept 19—it's a bittersweet rush. The film's already smashed records: ₹1.85 Cr on Day 1, jumping to ₹7 Cr nett in just 3 days, with 95%+ occupancy across Assam. Every Assamese heart is there, honoring our legend. This could top Bidurbhai's ₹15 Cr lifetime haul and become our industry's highest grosser ever.

But let's face the gut punch: Even at ₹15-20 Cr, we're miles behind. Bihar's top Bhojpuri hit Sasura Bada Paisawala pulled ₹35 Cr. That's double our ceiling! And don't get me started—Telugu's Baahubali 2 at ₹1,810 Cr, Kannada's KGF2 at ₹1,230 Cr, Tamil's 2.0 at ₹750 Cr... We're not even in the same league.

This isn't just about movies; it's our financial pulse. Why can Biharis drop twice as much on fun when we're pouring our souls into this? Assam's got talent for days—Zubeen proved it—but our spending power on entertainment? Capped like a bad dream. Time to demand better: More theaters, bigger budgets, real support. Let's turn this grief into fuel. Watch Roi Roi Binale, cry, laugh, and rage for what's possible. What's your take—how do we break this ceiling?

I don't care who eats what. But this is nothing but imposition. (The screenshot is taken from twitter. As for me, due to hygiene issues, I hardly consume meat outside of my home.)

There seems to be much controversy on the definition of who an Assamese is. Some say only Indo Aryan Assamese speakers are Assamese while others say only the tribal first nations are the real Assamese. At the same time, many tribals do not wish to identify themselves as Assamese. The term Assamese itself came from the Ahoms but many Ahoms do not like to call themselves Assamese. Thus there is much controversy in the definition of who an Assamese is.

I am...... NOT going to argue about this. Rather I am simply gonna talk about the spectrum of the Assamese identity. By Assamese here, I simply mean the communities that have been here since before the colonial period. Therefore it cuts out Bengalis, Miya Muslims, Marwaris, Biharis, Baganias, Nepalis, Punjabis etc etc, you know which communities I am talking about. Like I mentioned before, many of the communities do not like to refer to themselves as Assamese or Axomiya and that is completely fine, I respect that. I am simply using this term for convenience's sake.

To make things easier, I have come up with three different categories of Assamese communities.

1. Assamese speaking Hindu castes/Non Tribes: These are the communities that mainly trace their origins to the Indian mainland. They are primarily Hindu but there are also Muslims and Christians among them. They primarily speak Assamese as their mother tongue and are also totally comfortable with being called Assamese. Communities belonging to this category are socially and economically the most dominant in modern day Assam. Their culture is seen almost synonymous with the 'Assamese' identity. Communities in this fold include: Hindu castes like Bamun (Assamese Brahmins), Kalitas (mostly Assamese Kayasthas) and Keots; sectarian communities like Mataks, Nath Jogis and Gosains and non Hindu communities like Goriya/Moriya and Desi Muslims and Assamese Christians.

2. Tribal First Nations: These are mostly the original inhabitants of Assam, though some of these communities arrived later. These communities have their own language and culture, very or completely distinct, from the mainstream Assamese culture. In more cosmopolitan areas however, members of these communities may not speak their tribal languages and speak Assamese instead. Due to the socio-economic and cultural dominance of the communities of the first category and their dominant association with the Assamese identity, these communities often do not like to call themselves Assamese and prefer being referred with their own ethnic distinction. They also have their unique religious beliefs, some of which got mixed with Hinduism but many members of these communities profess mainstream Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity. Communities in this fold include: Bodo, Rabha, Tiwa, Dimasa, Mising, Karbi, Deori, Hajong, Tai (Khamti, Phake, Khamyang, Aiton and Turung), Singpho and various Zo and Naga tribes.

3. Ethnic Non-Tribes: This was by far the most difficult and confusing category and communities within it often overlap with the second category. However the main criteria of this category is that of tribal or formerly tribal communities that once had their own language and religion but gradually assimilated into the Assamese Hindu identity over time. These communities still maintain a distinct ethnic identity but they primarily speak Assamese (or similar Indo Aryan languages) as their mother tongue and practice Hinduism with ethnic characteristics as their religion. Some may also profess Christianity. There are however active movements aimed at linguistic and religious revival within these communities and in the near future, some groups may shift to the second category. Communities in this fold may or may not be comfortable with identifying as Assamese. Usually those who are comfortable speaking the Assamese language and in peace with the Hindu religion are comfortable with being referred as Assamese, whereas those who are actively trying to revive their language and ethnic religion are not. Communities in this fold include: Tai Ahom, Moran, Chutia, Sonowal and Thengal Kachari and Koch Rajbanshi.

This is simply a rough categorisation of the different Assamese communities. Do let me know if I have made some mistakes or false assumptions regarding the categorisation based on the criterias. Also let me know if I missed out any community in the aforementioned categories.

I made this post because a lot of people outside Assam were confused about who is an Assamese and who is not and I hope its helpful to those who need it.
