A Thesis Submitted to Gauhati University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Faculty of Arts. "The Partition of India in 1947 brought a morbid sense of isolation, leaving people on both sides of the border vulnerable, with a sense of displacement and uprootedness. Large scale migration of people from the minority community, with the intention of having a better and secured life with the people of their religious affiliation, marked the post-partition period. Way back in 2012, I had the opportunity to interview a few migrants in connection with an International Seminar on Partition that was held in March 2012 in Assam University . My interaction with Amit Sikdar, a participant and also a second generation migrant, who even after sixty years of Indian Independence could not come to terms with the Partition, and the knowledge of the plight of the migrants in certain interior areas raised my inquisitiveness in the subject. The main focus of my study is to present the migration scenario and the condition of the migrants district of Cachar (present Barak Valley) situated in the southern part of Assam. "
