Assam CM Urges Longtime Settlers to List Assamese as Mother Tongue in Census

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged long‑standing settlers in the state to list Assamese as their mother tongue in the forthcoming census. The call comes as the census will capture linguistic data across India, and the CM believes that acknowledging Assamese will reflect the region’s cultural identity. The statement was made by the CM in a public address to the settlers. No further details have been released regarding the implementation of this request.
