Assam’s New Land Laws Explained: NRC, Encroachment Drive and the Battle Over Identity | Anjalimam
Assam is witnessing one of the most significant legal and political transformations in its history. The introduction of new land laws, strict encroachment drives, and the long-running fallout of the NRC (National Register of Citizens) have reshaped debates around land ownership, citizenship, identity, and demography in the state.

This in-depth analysis explains why Assam introduced new land laws, how these policies are connected to illegal immigration from Bangladesh, and why land has become a major security and political issue. From the Assam Movement (1979–1985) and the Assam Accord of 1985 to the NRC process and present-day eviction drives, this video/story connects history with current events in a clear and easy-to-understand way.

The new Assam Land Policy places restrictions on land purchases in tribal belts, forest areas, border districts, and riverine regions, making government permission mandatory. While the law does not mention religion, its impact has largely affected poor and undocumented communities, especially those living on char (river island) lands and government property for decades. This has triggered a nationwide debate on human rights, citizenship proof, and indigenous protection.

The NRC, which left nearly 19 lakh people out of the citizenship list, plays a crucial role in this legal framework. People without valid documents now face difficulties in owning land, accessing government schemes, and securing their future. At the same time, the Assam government argues that these steps are necessary to protect indigenous land rights, control demographic change, and ensure border security.
