This Subreddit Is Becoming a Joke—Just Like Assam’s Endless Divides

This subreddit is a joke, just like our never-ending obsession with dividing Assam into factions. Instead of discussing real issues, we’re too busy debating Upper Assam vs. Lower Assam, Assamese vs. Bengali, and who qualifies as a “real” Assamese. Upper Assam thinks they are the intellectual elite, sipping tea and looking down on the "uncultured" Lower Assam folks, who are apparently too busy chewing tamul to care. Meanwhile, Lower Assam looks at Upper Assam like a bunch of smug, elitist snobs who think they own the state. And while both sides argue, Guwahati sits in the middle, pretending to be the next metro city but still drowning in traffic and corruption. Then there's the Assamese vs. Bengali debate, the gift that keeps on giving. Someone speaks Bengali? Ah, must be a Bangladeshi infiltrator Meanwhile, Assamese people will happily enjoy Bengali sweets, watch Bengali movies, and migrate to Kolkata for better opportunities—but sure, keep the outrage alive. And let’s not forget the real Assamese purity test. Speaking Assamese isn’t enough; you must trace your ancestry back to the Ahom era and prove your "indigenousness" while conveniently ignoring the fact that Assam has been a melting pot for centuries. Meanwhile, actual issues like unemployment, floods, corruption, and lack of infrastructure get ignored because arguing over identity is way more fun right?
