<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Assam''' is a state in the northeastern part of India. It is famous for its biodiversity, tea gardens, and the '''Brahmaputra Valley'''. It is the gateway to '''Northeastern India'''. Its borders are also shared with the nations of Bhutan and Bangladesh.

==Etymology==<br />
The name Assam is supposed to have been derived from the word "'''Ahom'''." The word "Ahom" is derived from the name of the '''Ahom Dynasty''', which had been ruling the state for almost six centuries. The second theory is that the name "Assam" is derived from the Sanskrit word "'''Asama'''." The word "Asama" means "'''uneven'''." The state is also uneven in terms of topography.<br />

Assam is a state with a long and illustrious history. In ancient times, the state was known by the name "'''Kamarupa'''."<br />

<br />
Assam was brought under British rule after the signing of the '''Treaty of Yandabo''' in 1826, ending the First '''Anglo-Burmese War'''. Tea gardens were set up in the state, completely changing the economy of the state. After India's independence in 1947, Assam was made a constituent state of the Union, and several other states in the region were formed out of it.<br />
