1874
In 1874, the British administration separated Assam from Bengal and attached Sylhet and Cachar to the new Chief Commissioner's Province of Assam. The move was presented as administrative reform, but it carried lasting consequences for language, governance, and regional political identity in the Bengal-Assam frontier.
