The Patharughat Peasants Uprising of 1894 is sometimes called Assam's Jallianwala Bagh. The uprising took place 25 years before the more famous Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, but is largely forgotten in Indian history. On January 28, 1894, unarmed peasants in Patharughat, Assam, protested against a 70–100% land tax increase by the British. When the British refused to hear grievances, police charged the crowd with lathis and then opened fire. Official records say 15 peasants died and 37 were injured, but unofficial sources say 140 died.

The Equator is the unique imaginary line on Earth where days and nights are of nearly equal length (approximately 12 hours each) every single day of the year. This phenomenon occurs because the Equator is always positioned perpendicular to the Sun's rays, regardless of Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the Sun. The line that divides the illuminated half of the Earth from the dark half (the terminator) consistently bisects the Equator almost perfectly, ensuring a consistent balance between daylight and darkness. This contrasts sharply with other latitudes, especially those closer to the poles, where day and night lengths vary significantly with the seasons.

In ancient times, Assam is known by the name of Pragjyotishpur and Kamarup. In the ancient Sanskrit literature both the names "Prajyotisha" or "Pragjyotishpura" and "Kamrupa" were used as designation for ancient Assam.
The name "Aham" or "Asom" was probably given by the Ahoms who came to Assam in 1228 A.D. Even though the origin is ambiguous but it is believed that the modern name Assam is itself an anglicization.
The Ahom's entered Assam fully assimilated and ruled Assam for nearly six hundred years. The period of Ahom rule is a glorious chapter in the history of Assam. The Ahom dynasty was established by Sukaphaa, a Shan prince of Mong Mao who came to Assam after crossing the Patkai Mountains. It is between 13th and 19th century that several tribal communities also came into the historical forefront of Assam. Kacharis, Chutias and Koch were the prominent tribal groups that were found in the medieval times of Assam. The rule of this dynasty ended with the Burmese invasion of Assam and the subsequent annexation by the British East India Company following the Treaty of Yandaboo in 1826. The British emperor took charge of the state and thus begun the colonial era of Assam.
