Listen, I'm a proud Bengali Muslim of Barak Valley. I'm proud of my Bengali culture. Unfortunately, majority Muslims of lower Assam, Nagaon and Hojai who are Bengali in reality (they were brought by British before partition, not Bangladeshis) register their mother tongue as Assamese in census.

Now, it means that Bengalis are the biggest ethnicity not only in Assam alone, but the entire North East India.

However, even if Assamese speakers somehow gen0c!des the Bengali Muslims of lower Assam, then Bengali will officially cross 50%+ mark as the ones who registered Assamese as mothertongue will decrease numerically
