Why so many immigrations in Assam? Assam illegal immigrations history

The first reason for Assam illegal immigrations history

The situation in Assam as it is today started about 199 years ago. When the Konbang dynasty took control of Manipur, Rakhine, and Assam in 1922.

Since then the British started giving their support to the rebels there. Support from the British led to minor wars between the rebels and the Kombong dynasty, but in January 1824, these minor wars turned into major wars. In January 1824, the Konbang dynasty sent one of its top commanders to Cachar and Jaintia to disperse the rebels. But the result of this decision was that there was friction between the British and the Burmese Empire. Due to this friction, the war started.

The British won this war. But with the victory, 72.3 of the British men died and about 25% of those soldiers died in the war, about 47% of the remaining soldiers lay their last sous vide in the hospital. But it is believed that more Burmese soldiers died than the British.

The British had gained a lot after this war. The lands like Assam, Manipur, Rakhine as well as many other things were taken over by the British, and all this was done by a treaty called the Treaty of Yandbo.

points of treaty of Yandbo:-

1. Cede to the British Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Rakhine (Arakan), and Taninthayi (Tenasserim) coast south of Salween river,

2. Cease all interference in Cachar and Jaintia,

3. Pay an indemnity of one million pounds sterling in four installments,

4. Allow for an exchange of diplomatic representatives between Ava and Calcutta,

5. Sign a commercial treaty in due course.

The first installment of indemnity was to be paid immediately, the second installment within the first 100 days from signing of the treaty, and the rest within two years. Until the second installment was paid, the British would not leave Yangon.

This was just the beginning, along with it there were two more wars.

First Anglo-Burmese War (5 March 1824 – 24 February 1826)

Second Anglo-Burmese War (5 April 1852 – 20 January 1853)

Third Anglo-Burmese War (7 November 1885 – 29 November 1885)

In which the Konbang dynasty came to an end.

After this, in 1837, the British started the production of tea for the first time. In 1840, a company named Assam Tea Company was formed. After this, the production of tea by the British started very fast. For this people from Central India and from Bengal (West Bengal) were being sold to Assam.

Because of this, there were more people from outside than tribal people. Due to all this, the tribal people there and the seeds of Loko brought by the British continued to friction for many years. Due to which he had a brown effect on the culture.

When India became independent, two countries were formed in partition, one India and the other Pakistan. A year later, Burma (Myanmar) became independent.

Second reason 

The independence of Bangladesh begins in 1947. When Pakistan happened today, the power was in the hands of West Pakistan. The politicians of West Pakistan wanted Pakistan to become an Islamic State and this happened, along with it, Urdu was declared as the national language in Pakistan, but later there was a large-scale movement called Bengali language, not the Bengali language. The Bengali language movement took place in the year 1950. This movement continued for 6 years, then in 1956, the Bengali language was declared the national language of Pakistan. The result of this was that within a few years there was a feeling of anti-West Pakistan in East Pakistan and the demand for making Bangladesh a separate country started rising.

A large number of riots took place in 1964. In 1966, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started the Six Point Movement, in which six such demands were made by the people of East Pakistan. 

Those six points were here:-

1. The Constitution should provide for a Federation of Pakistan in its true sense based on the Lahore Resolution,, and the parliamentary form of government with supremacy of a Legislature directly elected on the basis of universal adult franchise.

2. The federal government should deal with only two subjects: Defence and Foreign Affairs, and all other residual subjects should be vested in the federating states.

3. Two separate, but freely convertible currencies for the two wings should be introduced; or if this is not feasible, there should be one currency for the whole country, but effective constitutional provisions should be introduced to stop the flight of capital from East to West Pakistan. Furthermore, a separate Banking Reserve should be established and separate fiscal and monetary policy be adopted for East Pakistan.

4. The power of taxation and revenue collection should be vested in the federating units and the federal center would have no such power. The federation would be entitled to a share in the state taxes to meet its expenditures.

5. There should be two separate accounts for the foreign exchange earnings of the two wings; the foreign exchange requirements of the federal government should be met by the two wings equally or in a ratio to be fixed; indigenous products should move free of duty between the two wings, and the constitution should empower the units to establish trade links with foreign countries.

6. East Pakistan should have a separate military or paramilitary force, and Navy headquarters should be in East Pakistan.

In 1969 there was a massive revolt. After all this, there was pressure on Ayub Khan to leave his post. President Ayub Khan resigned from his post. Ayub Khan invited army chief Yahya Khan to assume the presidency. Yahya Khan accepted this invitation. Shortly after assuming the presidency, Yahya Khan decided that there would be general elections in Pakistan and these elections were held.

West Pakistan's party PPP { Pakistan Peoples Party } and East Pakistan's party Awami League were face to face. In this election, Awami League won with the majority. But from this, the people of West Pakistan wanted that the power should remain in their hands. This started to awaken more feeling among the people of East Pakistan for a different country.

There was a civil war in Bangladesh but it started when the opening of the National Assembly was delayed. You must be wondering what is this. A civil war broke out in East Pakistan due to the delay in the opening of the National Assembly.

So the answer is yes, why did this happen, the reason for this is that the people of East Pakistan felt that the people of West Pakistan did not want the power to go to the hands of East Pakistan.

To stop this civil war, President Yahya Khan ordered that there should be a military operation by Operation Searchlight. This operation is famous all over the world because this operation has turned into a Genocide. In this, about 200,000 to 3,000,000 common people were killed. To remember this, Bangladesh celebrates Genocide Day every year on 25 March. This Genocide lasted about 9 months. This Genocide ended with the independence of Bangladesh.

Due to this Genocide and the atrocities on the minority, people of many religions left Bangladesh and came to India. Especially in the state of Assam and West Bengal. This is the reason that today there are so many immigrations in the state of Assam and West Bengal.

This is only a matter of Bangladesh, in India people from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar, and the Tibet region are also fleeing and taking immigration in India.

Third Reason

The third is Rohingya and Buddhists, the problem of both of them started many years ago. But its biggest start is from World War 2 when Rohingya people supported America and made Buddhist people run away and Buddhist people came with Japan and made Rohingya people run away...

There was a resurgence in 2001, after which from 2001 to 2016 several groups were formed against the government, the groups folded. Rohingya’s troubles start to worsen in 2016. Since the violence increased further in 2016, that year went to about 134 deaths, the next year on 25 August 2017, an army was raised by the Rohingya (Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army). 24 police chunks were attacked by this army and about 71 police personnel were killed in this attack.

After this, the Burmese ordered the Rohingya people to flee the country and be killed. And it continues till today. Today there are about 40,000 Rohingyas in India.

Today there are about 300,000 immigrations or refugees in India. And these people are living in states like Assam, Delhi, Haryana, West Bengal.
