Dhanteras of Dewali & Ethnic Assamese Society: India
As far as I remember few years back the urban ethnic people in Assam never use to celebrate or understood the meaning of Dhanteras of Diwali festival. With time passing & many of mainland migrant of India getting settled, local populace initially started imitating Dhanteras as a style or getting themselves adjusting for identifying through these as an Indian. However, if one happens to visit the inner ethnic villages in Assam, during this festival, you hardly can find the pomp & show of festival Diwali, except in few house hold, that is also due to some member might have resided in Urban area or in main landIndia. The reason of such distractionmay be due to historical facts of Assam.
