== Copyright issue ==
This info is wrong, There is not Bengali dress used in Assam. The most predominant dress in Assam is Makhela Chador and different varieties of it for different tribes.
This info is added by someone who is predominantly bengali and wanted his/her dress to be added in the homepage.
It's like adding French culture infor to German identity.
A simple web search will be enough for truth

again this info is also wrong, Assam doesn't celebrate this type of dance. This dance is celebrated in West Bengal. You can clearly see the language in the picture is in Bengali and the place is also mentioned as Kolkata.
Both these info were edited by same person and hence he seems to be trying to distort facts of the page.
Assam celebrates Bihu.

This info should also be removed, again this was also accepted without varification.

== Thousands of square miles ==

{{reply|Rasnaboy}} Greetings! Regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assam&oldid=prev&diff=1038624541&diffmode=source this revert]: "1000<sup>2</sup> mi" means "millions of linear miles". "1000 mi<sup>2</sup>" means "thousands of square miles. Given that this is a measure of area, I assume this column should use the latter. We could also just say "thousands" as we say "millions" in words in the other column; "'000s" is a bit non-standard. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 18:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
:Dear {{yo|Beland}}. I realize I made a mistake without noticing that part. You're right, it should be "thousands of square miles" or "'000 mi<sup>2</sup>". But I'm not sure if "'000s" is a non-standard one (especially in column heads of tables, when the columns are running short of space). I've reverted to what you've suggested. Apologies for my mistake. And thanks a lot for correcting. Please check if the current version is fine. Cheers. [[User:Rasnaboy|Rasnaboy]] ([[User talk:Rasnaboy|talk]]) 04:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

== Notable people section ==

{{ping|Chaipau}} Hi, it is regarding [[Assam#Notable_people|this section]]. It seems a list of cherry-picked individuals (by mostly IPS and newbies since I've watching this article) who are already listed in respective town/city/district articles, as well as in the [[List of people from Assam]] making unnecessary. I believe we have [[List of people from Assam]] in the see also section as in [[Maharashtra]] or link it in the ''Notable people'' section using [[Template:Main]]. What do you suggest? - [[User:Fylindfotberserk|Fylindfotberserk]] ([[User talk:Fylindfotberserk|talk]]) 11:14, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
: {{re|Fylindfotberserk}} I think we can remove the list of names from here. The Maharashtra page is a good example. [[User:Chaipau|Chaipau]] ([[User talk:Chaipau|talk]]) 21:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Geography section

[edit]

»A significant geographical aspect of Assam is that it contains three of six physiographic divisions of India – The Northern Himalayas (Eastern Hills), The Northern Plains (Brahmaputra plain) and Deccan Plateau (Karbi Anglong). As the Brahmaputra flows in Assam the climate here is cold and there is rainfall most of the month.« This part stinks to heaven.

Substandard grammar
