Talk:Culture of Assam

[Untitled]
Thanx Chaipau for creating this article frm the text written in the Assam main page. I knew that the text which was already created thr was disbalancing Assam due to its increasing size.......I will try to develop it here n also will summarise the part in the main Assam.

 * I definitely second that. -Deepraj | Talk 10:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have removed it and also have msgd User:Jeff Silvers: "The women in Culture of Assam does not represent a native women in her appearance and dress. Yes, she has eastern indian looks possibly from Jharkhand, Orissa or West Bengal. Though i agree to that there are similar looks in our tea-tribes (tea-garden labourers originally from Jharkhand, Orissa, etc), but her attire is even not the one a tea-tribe-women in assam wears. I will look for few pictures of native women or even of one from the tea tribe." Porikolpok Oxom 06:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Textiles and dresses of Assam
I am introducing a small article on Textiles and Dresses of Assam. Please contribute to its content. Once there is reasonable mass in there it would be good to put in a summary within the Assam or Culture of Assam page. Question is would it be best to have it in the Assam page or Culture of Assam page? Looking forward to feedback.

The Gamosa section in Culture of Assam should also be separated out into its own article leaving behind only a summary. I will see if I can manage, otherwise feel free to help.

 * In my opinion there is little point of having a separate list-type article just on Assamese garments, especially that textile and traditional dress belong to two entirely different categories (industrial material vs. cultural phenomenon). Hence, I don't foresee much readership to it, and it risks being deleted, too. It should ideally be merged in the relevant section here as a comma-separated (inline) list. A WP:CATEGORY could be considered instead.  kashmiri TALK  22:31, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Festivals of Assam
Bihu is not the only festival of Assam. Let's add up a few more. Right now I can only think of Raas(lower assam) and Durga puja(Assamese culture before Shankardev has been mainly Shaakta).. Any more????? Amlanjyoti Saikia 04:31, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merge from Traditional crafts of Assam
The entire article Traditional crafts of Assam is a verbatim copy of this section, and lacks the broader cultural context of the Culture of Assam article. For formality's sake, I propose that Traditional crafts of Assam is merged here (before PRODding it).  kashmiri TALK  21:58, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

List of Assamese jewellery
I deleted that lengthy list per WP:NOTDIR. Who on earth would ever need this information, especially when trying to read about the culture of Assam? Else, why not to include a list of all Assamese garments, furniture, plants, hand tools, songs, surnames, etc., etc.?  kashmiri TALK  22:19, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
