Geography section

»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.

-== Proposed merge of [[Bordoisila]] into [[Assam]] ==
-[[Bordoisila]] is an entry about a word, but it does not define it. If it is native to [[Assam]], it may be best to merge it and better define it. [[User:Ost316|Ost]] ([[User talk:Ost316|talk]]) 01:31, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
-*I have [[WP:BOLD|boldly]] redirected the article to [[Nor'westers]], as Bordoisila seems to be an Assamese poetic folk word for those weather events. When it is used, the storm seems to be personified as a young woman fleeing her husband.
