Ready to quiz? Let’s get started with this Quiz on Assam Politics!
Assam, being a state situated in the northeastern part of India, is characterized by diversified ethnic groups, rich cultural heritage, and unique socio-economic issues. The state had experienced a combination of regional as well as national political movements over the decades, involving key players such as Indian National Congress (INC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and regional parties like the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). Elections for the Assam Assembly are characterised by sharp contests between the different parties because of Assam’s complex demography in Assamese, Bengalis, and indigenous tribals. Issues relating to the on-going controversy over the rights of the indigenous communities to safeguard themselves against any migrants from other countries in line with the National Register of Citizens are also impacting this political situation.
In the last few years, the BJP has emerged as a strong force in Assam, aligning with its larger political goals at the national level, especially through its emphasis on nationalism and issues around the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Regional movements for greater autonomy and protection of indigenous cultures have further complicated the political scene in the state. There has always been the influence of public voices across AASU and many of these other regional organizations. Equally important in Assam are political dynamics that reflect, alongside state aspiration, a dynamic national presence. It will become fun to learn with quizzing about the complex political life of Assam’s polity. It helps participants have a better understanding of the political history of the state, its current challenges, and its key players. Quizzes also help to encourage active learning, retention of important facts, and critical thinking in regard to regional politics within the context of India’s larger democratic framework.
