Assam
Assam – Since early 13th century to 19th century, this area had been ruled by the Ahoms, who came from Burma, but settled down here, ruling this land and finally fiving this State their name. An incredibly green and beautiful state. It is rich in flora and fauna, and petroleum. The entire existence of Assam is linked with the mighty river Brahmaputra, now gentle, now fierce, a river of extraordinary individuality and physical magnitude.
