520 _aThe book titled, The Quest for Modern Assam: A History, 1942–2000, by Arupjyoti Saikia is a comprehensive account of key events and developments in the region during a tumultuous period in its history, spanning nearly 60 years. While there have been attempts to write comprehensive histories of Assam earlier—for instance, by scholars like H K Barpujari and Amalendu Guha—Saikia’s work stands out on account of its sheer breadth as a commentary on both colonial and postcolonial events that had a transformative impact on the region and its people.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2023/45-46/book-reviews/historical-trajectory-modern-assam.html
