He further said, Historically it has been proved that before the arrival of Chaolung Sukapha neither there was a land called Assam and nor a single nation known as Assamese and by tying all small ethnic groups with a sense of unity, Chaolung Sukapha set out to form the largest Assamese nation and successfully assimilated different communities and Tribes.
