In 1905, the population of Bengalis in Assam was significantly influenced by British colonial policies and migration patterns. Estimates suggest that there were around 1.5 million Bengali speakers in Assam at that time, primarily concentrated in the Brahmaputra Valley. This demographic shift was driven by agricultural expansion and the demand for labor, leading to increased migration from Bengal. The presence of Bengalis in Assam would later become a point of political and social contention in the region.
