Assam deports over 2,000 Bangladeshis in 10 years

In the last 10 years, the Assam government has sent back over 2,000 people who were living in the state illegally.

Most of these people were from Bangladesh, with a few from Myanmar, Nigeria, and other countries.

The government follows specific rules and laws to decide who should be sent back.

They are also discussing how to define who is considered an 'Assamese' person to protect the local culture and way of life.

The government has already started taking steps based on recommendations from a committee set up for this purpose.
