Dr. Samyak Ghosh a Ph.D. from Columbia University, is a cultural historian of premodern South Asia. His geographical area of research includes the present-day northeast of India, Indo-Tibetan borderlands, and the Eastern Himalayan Region. He was awarded the Kumkum Chatterjee Memorial Award in Indian History and the Junior Research Fellowship by the American Institute of Indian Studies in 2019-2020. He is currently completing a monograph titled, “Formations of the King: The Practice of Political Culture in the Contact Zones of Hindustan, 1700-1850”. The book intervenes in the fields of kingship studies, premodern South Asia, Mughal studies, court studies, critical caste studies, and South Asian religions.

In this episode, we speak to Dr. Ghosh about the cultural, political, and legal history of the early Brahmaputra Valley. The discussion covers some interesting facts on history, including the formation of kings to the courtly culture in the early Brahmaputra Valley. Subsequently, we also discussed some key policy questions emerging in postcolonial Assam, such as the question of making 'Assamese' a state language as well as the debate over Barak vs. Brahmaputra, which is addressed through the lens of history.
