_______ led the agitation and social movement for Assam autonomy.

• A. All Assam Students’ Union
• B. Assam Students’ Union
• C. Assam Collective
• D. Students’ Union of Assam

Answer 1

The correct option is A All Assam Students’ Union

The Assamese felt that many migrants from Bangladesh had illegally settled in their land - a strong opinion that transformed into a social movement in 1970. The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) led the agitations.

The AASU became quite popular among the youth of Assam. It carried out several strikes, agitations, and marches against the central government, demanding the removal of outsiders.
