Answer
Swadeshi movement
Why?
Swadeshi movement has a significant relation with the state of Assam. Important Points In 1905, Viceroy Curzon partitioned Bengal . In order to curtail the influence of Bengali politicians and to split the Bengali people, British government separated East Bengal and merged it with Assam. The partition of Bengal infuriated people all over India. All sections of the Congress ie the Moderates and the Radicals opposed it. Large public meetings and demonstrations were organised and novel methods of mass protest developed. The struggle that unfolded came to be known as the Swadeshi movement . In Assam , the leaders like Keshari Ambikagiri Raychoudhury and Gobinda Lahiri formed a revolutionary organisation among the students of Guwahati. They called upon the people of Assam to boycott foreign-made items and use indigenous commodities. The result was that the demand for foreign-made items, particularly textiles, declined. Hence, we can conclude that the event that has a significant relation with the state of Assam is Swadeshi movement .
