Voter List 1971 Assam
The voter list of 1971 is often referenced in the context of identifying genuine Indian citizens who were residents of Assam before the influx of immigrants from Bangladesh.
It serves as a crucial document in determining citizenship status, especially during the National Register of Citizens (NRC) updating process initiated in Assam to address the issue of illegal immigration.
The 1971 voter list of Assam holds significant historical importance due to its connection with the Assam Movement, a mass agitation against illegal immigration from Bangladesh into the state.
The movement, which began in the late 1970s, protested against the inclusion of illegal immigrants in the voter lists, which had significant political implications.
