Assamese are not one people. Assamese culture is predominantly Bengali mixed with Gangetic India particularly UP culture with Chinese and Burmese culture and customs. This is because Assam was a Bengali kingdom till circa 1200 CE when it was known as Kamrupa. 1200 CE Kamrupa was invaded and occupied by Ahoms from China who in turn were replaced by the Burmese from 1400 CE to 1832 CE. 1832 CE East India Company invaded Burma and returned NE to India but with large ethnic Chinese and Burmese population who have their own culture and customs very different from the subcontinent. In many places like Manipur, Tripura and Assam the culture and customs are fusion of South Asian Sanskritized Hindu culture and customs with those of Southern China/Burma. Something similar happened across South East Asia which were Hindu and Indic prior to large scale migration of Chinese people from Southern China following Mongol invasion of China starting from 1000 CE.

@bimald1 true. The word Bangali which became Bengali under British is itself a Persian word for the natives of eastern most part of the subcontinent. Today's real indigenous people of NE, Bengal had cultural and blood ties with people of South East Asia who have merged with large scale migration of people from China to these parts. What remains are the cultural, linguistic and historical artifacts which point to the tie these places had with ancient India.

@PaglaakukuriMamataBanerjee why? You are afraid of real history and the truth?? What you have led to believe as history, is the propaganda not history. Ask yourself why nearly all our history books are silent about history of north east?

@turbulence_guy2823 Koch are Sino Burmese people and not natives of India. They have no history in India prior to 1000 AD. Today's Bengal included NE, West Bengal, Bangladesh and possibly parts of Burma. After Chinese and Burmese invasion one part became undivided Assam and the other occupied by Afghans and Turks became Bengal. Bengal is a Persian word and the natives didn't call themselves Bengalis. Similarly, Punjab, Hind are also Persian words for the people and different regions of South Asia.

@turbulence_guy2823 tell me Koch kingdom started from when and when and how did it end? It is not Konch but Koch which is a Sinic and not Indic name.

@HridayanshTribedi so says a "Tribedi" 😆. It is not pronounced Assam like an Ass. The correct pronunciation is Oxom. Tell me this is an Indian name?? Real name of undivided Oxom is Kamrupa. Kamrupa after it was invaded and occupied first by Tai Chinese became Oxom. What went under Afghan and Turkic occupation became Bengal. Later Turkic Bengal was taken over by a masala company called East India Company and same company snatched Kamrupa from the Burma. This is how the demography of NE is almost completely different from rest of peninsular India.

@turbulence_guy2823 sorry for the late reply. There you are. You too admit there were no Koch kingdom prior to 1515. Bhutan didn't occupy these parts of India. They were Bengali kingdoms which is why the culture, customs, language, religion are all those of Bengalis which the Koch adopted when they settled in these parts of India. Koch are Sinic people.
