Solution
The correct option is D Both assertion and reason are correct.
The state of Assam shelters many Bengali people, as many of them, settled in Assam after independence. Since the British rule, Bengalis have had their influence in the administration of the state. The Bengalis dominance made the Assamese people feel a bit low, as they were treated as second-class citizens and not given equal status. The Assamese felt that many Bengali Muslims from Bangladesh had settled in their land illegally. They were afraid that these “outsiders” would reduce the native Assamese into a minority.
