Regions of Assam
The Regions of Assam are non-administrative units in the Indian state of Assam with a common historical past. Not all these regions are mutually exclusive.
The Regions
Assam Proper: This is the region that is constituted by the five colonial districts that were originally in the Ahom kingdom. The districts were: Undivided Kamrup district, Darrang, Nagaon, Lakhimpur and Sibsagar.
Goalpara region: This is the region between the Sankosh and the manas rivers on the north bank of the Brahmaputra river, with a corresponding region on the south bank.
Kamrup region: This is the region between the Manas river in the west and the Barnadi river on the east on the north bank of the Brahmaputra river, with a corresponding region on the south bank.
South Assam: The Barak Valley in Assam, south of the Dima Hasao district is often called South Assam.[1] It covers the present-day Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi districts, which together formed the erstwhile undivided Cachar district, a part of the Kachari kingdom, that was under the command of Gobinda Chandra.
