A History of Assam c21.37

c21.37

In 1835 the population of the entire valley was estimated to be 799,519, *viz*., Native States in Upper Assam 220,000, Darrang 89,519, Nowgong 90,000, Kāmrup 300,000 and Goālpāra 100,000. Except in the case of Goālpāra, for which a rough estimate was made, these figures appear to have been taken from the official returns prepared in connection with the assessment of the land revenue. It would not be safe to place much reliance on them.
