Setting up of a museum reflecting the culture and heritage of the people living in char- chaporis has stirred up a controversy in which state ?

The correct answer is Assam. Key Points “Miya museum” reflecting the “culture and heritage of the people living in char-chaporis” has stirred up a controversy in Assam. Additional Information Miyas of Assam: The ‘Miya’ community comprises descendants of Muslim migrants from East Bengal (now Bangladesh) to Assam. They came to be referred to as ‘Miyas’, often in a derogatory manner. The community migrated in several waves- starting with the British annexation of Assam in 1826, and continuing into Partition and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War- and have resulted in changes in demographic composition of the region. Years of discontent among the indigenous people led to the six-year-long (1979-85) anti-foreigner Assam Agitation to weed out the “illegal immigrant”, who was perceived as trying to take over jobs, language and culture of the indigenous population.
