Full textAbstract:
The article is to trace the heritage of Tamil and Assamese drama earliest times to present. The sub-genre of different periods is also discussed herewith. Earliest record of Tamil drama is available during Sangam period. In Assamese it is mentioned in the Sankaradev period. Sankardeva the father of Assamese literature and society maker had a great contribution to Assamese drama. ‘Chihno Jatra’ was the first drama of Assamese literature. To speed up his ‘Ek Saran’ religion he wrote many dramas as an instrument of it and his followers also followed him. In the end of the nineteenth century Tamil and Assamese drama underwent a change after its contact with western literature. Hence the Tamil drama can be divided into four periods. (1) Tolkappiyam to 16th century, (2) drama in the 17th,18th century, (3) 19th century, and (4) 20th century. Assamese drama can be classified as (1) Vaisavate period, (2) Ahom period, (3) modern period. Many authors wrote ancient, historical and modern dramas in both languages. All those dramas are taken as the very great wealth of Tamil and Assamese literature.

Full textAbstract:
Object Anterior encephaloceles are rare congenital malformations. Most of the cases in the literature are reported from Southeast Asia. In India it is seen more frequently among manual laborers in the tea gardens of Assam. A brief background of the patients, clinical presentation, operative treatment, and outcome are discussed, with a review of the relevant literature. The causes and pathogenesis of anterior encephaloceles are discussed. The authors‘ surgical approach to repair of the defect, postoperative complications, and results are described. Methods Twenty-eight patients (mean age 38 months, range 1 month–12 years) with anterior encephaloceles who presented between 1998 and 2007 are included in the study. Patients were assessed for physical and psychological growth and development; any associated anomalies were noted. A detailed history of the patient‘s family, including the prenatal history, was obtained. Lesions were classified with the help of neuroimaging studies (skull x-ray, CT, ultrasonography, and MR imaging studies) and confirmed at surgery. Results Sixteen patients had nasofrontal, 9 had nasoethmoidal, and 3 had nasoorbital encephaloceles, and 12 patients had associated hydrocephalus. The modes of presentation were nasofrontal swelling, watering from the eyes, CSF leakage, fever, and vomiting. Parents of all the patients were ethnic tea garden workers. The average parental age at the time of marriage was 24 years for men and 18 years for women. Consanguinity was present in 6 patients. Alcohol consumption and tobacco chewing were a common practice in both parents. A total of 42 surgical procedures were done in 16 patients, one of whom died of postoperative meningitis. The mean follow-up duration was 38 months (1–92 months). Conclusions Anterior encephaloceles are rare in Western countries and other states in India, but this defect is more commonly seen among the ethnic tea garden workers in Assam. Transcranial repair is the treatment of choice. Unlike encephaloceles in other locations, anterior encephaloceles have a better clinical outcome after surgery.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the enormous application, handwritten digit recognition (HDR) has become an extremely important domain in optical character recognition (OCR)-related research. The predominant challenges faced in this domain include different photometric inconsistencies together with computational complexity. In this paper, the authors proposed a language invariant shape-based feature descriptor using the refraction property of light rays. It is to be noted that the proposed approach is novel as an adaptation of refraction property is completely new in this domain. The proposed method is assessed using five datasets of five different languages. Among the five datasets, four are offline (written Devanagari, Bangla, Arabic, and Telugu) and one is online (written in Assamese) handwritten digit datasets. The approach provides admirable outcomes for online digits whereas; it yields satisfactory results for offline handwritten digits. The method gives good result for both online and offline handwritten digits, which proves its robustness. It is also computationally less expensive compared to other state-of-the-art methods including deep learning-based models.

Full textAbstract:
According to the belief system of conventional Indian patriarchal culture, the roles of women are firmly entrenched with the notions of chastity and motherhood. A woman is never considered as a life partner, who shares her life with her male counterpart. Rather, she is looked down as an unpaid servant, or a mere sex object who has to weigh down and take responsibilities for an entire family. She is always commodified as an asset which is transferred from the hands of her father to her husband. She is indebted to look after the children and a full grown male who couldn’t look after himself. Several Indian women authors have incarcerated this double standard of the misogynist, patriarchal Indian society in their works. The predicament of their fellow females who are suffering under this gender biased system has prompted the women authors like Kamala Das, Arundhati Roy, Shashi Deshpande and Kamala Markandeya etc to fight against mainstream patriarchal Indian society. North East Indian women authors have also tried to highlight the predicaments of women through their literary works. Mitra Phukan, an Assamese writer, in her work The Collector’s Life has reflected the attempts made by the lead protagonist Rukmini to attain individuality and freedom from her security bound, disciplined, lonely life. At the fag end of the novel she transforms herself from a dutiful wife to a new woman who bravely stands against the traditional notions of chastity and purity. My paper seeks to analyze the journey of Rukmini from the self proclaimed loneliness to the actualization of her own identity and individuality as a woman.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is an attempt to study the online participation behavior of youth in Assam in organizing social and political protests through Social media. During several protest demonstrations and rallies which took place in the middle of the year, 2012; there has been a series of cyber activism that took place prior to the street demonstrations and rallies. The paper attempts to justify the fact that, the street demonstrations and rallies which took place during that particular period, gained its momentum largely through Social Media. Therefore the period can be regarded as the beginning of cyber activism in Assam, since such online activities in publicizing and organizing any collective action in the physical world with regards to activism was not seen in the past. Based on the data collected through onsite surveys, such online communities have considerably given rise to new forms of collective action such as on/offline social and political protest in Assam through social media by publicizing and organizing people where the predominance of the youths is distinctly visible. It is seen that, there has been an increasing number of cyber activism among the online ‘Assamese’ youth communities which has apparently given raise to cyber-civil societies in urban areas. The predominance of youth in such protests is visible, since the use of social media has become a popular culture among the youth. About 17% of the Indian populations are between 15 and 24 and they are experiencing the changes brought by the New Media technology. In examining the practices on social media, authors focus primarily on “Facebook”, which is the most popular social networking site in social media. Series of protest took place in the months of July, August and September, 2012 against unethical media practices; particularly the television media in Assam. Eventually protests against the insecurity of the women in Guwahati, the capital city of Assam and protest against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Assam were also demonstrated on the streets of Assam which gathered huge civic support. Few youth groups from Assam were also established who organized themselves through social networking sites to raise street demonstrations, along with certain other political parties, NGOs and offline civil society groups. The paper mainly studies the participation of youth in such protests and reflects on the case studies which can be regarded as the beginning of youth cyber activism that apparently gained momentum through social media in Assam.

Full textAbstract:
Assam, in north-east India, is the main stronghold for the great Indian rhinoceros Rhinoceros unicornis, with most of the 1500 or so individuals that live there concentrated in parks and sanctuaries. Despite valiant efforts to protect them, the forest guards are poorly equipped and no match for poachers armed with automatic weapons or those who make use of high-voltage power lines to electrocute the animals. The authors have discussed the many problems besetting rhino conservation in Assam with wildlife officials and they make several recommendations that would improve the situation.

Full textAbstract:
The river Brahmaputra, also known as Luit, has always occupied an important place in the cultural mindscape of the people of Assam, a state in the northeast of India. A source of great pride because of its sheer size and the myths and lore associated with it, it has nevertheless brought untold misery to people over the years because of annual flooding. Authors and musicians of the land have found in the Luit an apt metaphor to tell stories of love, loss, belonging and pain. In the songs of Bhupen Hazarika (1926-2011), a renowned music composer from Assam, the Brahmaputra becomes a character through which the poet expresses both his anguish at the sufferings of the masses and his joy at the all- embracing nature of the valley. In songs like “Mahabahu Brahmaputra”, Hazarika tries to appeal to the people of Assam to maintain harmony and promote the land as one of plurality and hospitality. This song becomes significant when seen in the context of the Assam movement (a six-year long agitation to halt the illegal migration of people from neighbouring Bangladesh) and Hazarika’s own conflicted attitude towards it. This article is an attempt to examine how the Luit has been represented in a selection of Hazarika’s songs – the ways the river becomes a potent presence of deeply political and social overtones and a metaphor to underscore the turbulent history of Assam.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of a new generation of writers in Assam has indeed brought forth new themes, ideas and writing styles, shaping the evolution of the Assamese literature. These changes have been influenced by factors such as globalization, social shifts and the exploration of individual freedom and identity. The "new wave" of Assamese literature that emerged in the 1970s marked a significant turning point. This movement emphasized the individual's experiences, personal freedom and the search for identity. Writers began to delve into the complexities of human psychology, introspection, and self-discovery. The short stories became more introspective, exploring the inner workings of characters' minds and their emotional journeys. Furthermore, the impact of globalization introduced new forms and styles of writing to Assamese literature. This paper attempts to study how Assamese authors began experimenting with innovative structures and techniques. They embraced the stream of consciousness technique, non-linear narratives, social realism and elements of magical realism. This experimentation added diversity and dynamism to the Assamese literary tradition, allowing for more creative and imaginative storytelling.

Abstract: A verb in a sentence defines the action to be performed and keeps the subject of the sentence in motion. Assamese is a language spoken by millions of people in Assam, a North Eastern state of India. In the Assamese language, different inflections of verbs express the tense of the action, whether it is present, past or future. Verbs are inflected according to person, number, gender, tense, and voice, thus showing their existence in different situations. In this research work, we have built a tool to check whether an Assamese verb form is valid or invalid. After checking the validity, it also displays the meaning of the inflected form of the root verb in English. The root verbs are conjugated with the inflectional morphemes, and inflected verb forms are recorded. Background: This work is completely new and done by the authors for the Assamese language. To build this tool, a few research papers on this language were studied, and a summary of them is written in the Related Work section. Methods: In this experiment, 72 root verbs and 132 inflections were used. GUI was designed by using Tkinter in Python. The inflected verb form passed through three modules consisting of different searching techniques. Assamese corpus, Google search, Assamese Wikipedia, and Manual evaluation, respectively. Result: Finally, 662 Assamese valid verb forms were found that have meaning and are used in a different context. Corpus search, Google search, Assamese Wikipedia and Manual Evaluation gave 232, 733, 550 and 112 numbers of overall search results accordingly. Novelty: This paper presents a novel validation framework for Assamese language verb inflections, which could help the linguistic community better comprehend verb inflection patterns and linguistic diversity. The manuscript explores the inflections of a lesser-known low-resource language that would be beneficial. This study could be considered as innovative and important because it has applications in areas like speech recognition, machine translation, and natural language processing. Social Implication: The linguistic community would benefit greatly from the creation of a new, freely accessible, user-friendly interface intended exclusively for validating Assamese verb inflections. The approaches used here to recognize correct inflections of Assamese verbs have been performed with in-depth analysis. The approach could have implications for language learning and education, improving machine translation and natural language processing systems. Validating the verb inflections may help in raising the awareness and recognition of research focused on underdeveloped or marginalized languages. As a result, speakers of these languages might have more equitable access to information, resources, and opportunities, thus resulting in a decrease in linguistic prejudice.

Full textAbstract:
Dora Baran’s (the groom stole/apparel of the Assamese community) value proposition is created by its contemporary designs, motifs, symbols, yarn richness and, made-to-order provision between the bride and the finesse of customary institution xipinie (Assamese word for Weaver). This apparel can be an avenue for the handloom weavers to increase and sustain a regular household income. However, it needs integrated marketing between buyers and weavers through multiple platforms, and thus, creating a niche or customized market. The business environment for the sector includes about 10,50,189 weavers operating through household looms, self-help groups, unorganized handloom sheds, handloom cooperatives and the regulatory authority of the Directorate of Handloom and Textiles and, policy intervention by the Ministry of Handloom Textile and Sericulture, Directorate of Economics and Statistics Assam. (2022). Statistical Handbook Assam-2022, 54th Edition. Government of Assam. This sector is severely constrained by product consistency, trust and deceptive quality of yarn, distressed sale and an infringement by Ghuni. The intrinsic challenges are depleting artistic weaving skills, revenue leakage from the Assam region, the stagnancy of income through weaving vocation and certain health hazards attributed to the weaving skills and age of the weaver. As a result, the Traditional Cultural Expression (TCE) is vanishing due to neo-societal norms and the weavers are switching to commercial weaving, short-term livelihood activities with little scope of sustainability within the local innovation system of the Assam region. The authors argue that the void between the demand side and supply side is due to a lack of trust, generic artistic skill and inconsistency of the yarn and artefact quality. The authors propose policy intervention of synchronizing branding strategy with registration for design rights, rule of law and block-chain technology solutions to imbibe authenticity and reliability across the supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
Speaker recognition is the task of identifying a person by his/her unique identification features or behavioural characteristics that are included in the speech uttered by the person. Speaker recognition deals with the identity of the speaker. It is a biometric modality which uses the features of the speaker that is influenced by one's individual behaviour as well as the characteristics of the vocal cord. The issue becomes more complex when regional languages are considered. Here, the authors report the design of a speaker recognition system using normal and telephonic Assamese speech for their case study. In their work, the authors have implemented i-vectors as features to generate an optimal feature set and have used the Feed Forward Neural Network for the recognition purpose which gives a fairly high recognition rate.

Women characters playing a very important role from the very beginning of origin and development of oral literature to present day modern literature background in Bengali literature. Many authors give specific importance to women in their works. This paper is going to discuss about immemorable and of utmost talent, author Sharatchandra Chattopadhay of Bengali literature in one hand and famous author, Saiyad Abdul Mallik of Assamese literature on the other hand. a) “Paripurna Manusatta Satityer Chaye Baro” (Fulfilled humanity is greater than virginity) b) “Satitya ke Ami Tuchcho Boline,Kintu Akai Tar Nari-Jiboner Charam o Param Prayo Gyan Korakeo Kusanskar Mone Kori” (I don’t ask virginity as a minor thing, but think it as a superstition to accept that virginity as the extreme quality of woman life) Thus, two features of Sharatchandra’s female characters are well expressed throughout his novels-one is their insulted,harrassed and humiliated picture and another one is created out of their own self-their own personality, expression of their womanhood. Thus the universal female character of both Saiyad Abdul Mallik and sharad Chandra Chttapadhay are not only the expression of their dream but they seem original characters of real life society. They are the creation and inhabitants of this society only.

Abstract Assamese fiction written by janajatiya writers (writers from indigenous, “tribal” communities) can be read productively via a deployment of various standpoints from the “nonhuman turn.” This chapter reads the triangulation of three nonhuman entities—bamboo, rats, and fire—in Arunachali author Yeshe Dorje Thongchi’s short story “Baah Phulor Gundho” (“The Smell of Bamboo Blossoms”). While stories by janajatiya writers such as Thongchi are usually read via “tradition” versus “modernity” and social reform perspectives, this chapter argues that nonhuman entities play a vitalist and agential role in their fictional universes. Thongchi’s short story demonstrates this through a unique event that occurs in Northeast India—the periodic flowering of bamboo that leads to an exponential increase in rat populations—which becomes the fulcrum for an exploration of social change and the passage of time in the lifeworlds of the Nyishi tribespeople in Arunachal Pradesh.
