“…However, we will not go into the details of this real sense of being suppressed and neglected. In any case, many critics have commented on the ULFA's instrumental violence (Mahanta, 2013), ethos of self-determination (Gohain, 2007), anti-India, anti-Delhi stand (Mahanta, 2013) which, according to them, are the outcomes of the age-old questions of Assamese nationalism such as fear of the outsider (Guha, 1984), economic negligence (Misra, 1980), or floating migration from outside (Phukon, 1996).…”

This paper argues that the emergence of social media as a new public sphere has shaped masculine identity in the cyber platform. Such masculinity in Assamese society (the Assamese-speaking community), based on the images of the ideal Assamese man is linked with a form of Assamese nationalistic masculinity that gathered momentum during the Assam Movement (1979–1985). Politics of identity in Assam is basically trapped in the world of appearances, fighting real and imaginary enemies, and drawing strength from prejudices and misconceptions of groups, about themselves and others. This process of identity creation also shaped the identity of the “ideal” Assamese man in the recent socio-political history of Assam. This article is an attempt to define how masculinity works in the cyber world by focusing attention on Assamese nationalistic masculinity which is based on the image of the “RealAssamese Man.” The “Real Assamese Man,” in turn, draws inspiration from a socio-cultural context which started with the creation of Assamese iconographies of masculinity which were later transformed and appropriated to serve the purpose of identity-politics.

“…One was based on its pan-Indian identity and the other on its regional linguistic-cultural identity. While the former stimulated fight against the colonial rule, the latter at the same time worked towards self-assertion ( Guha 1982 : 2 12;Guha 1979 : 355 458;Guha 1983 ;Chandra 1982Chandra : 1282Rao 1973 ;Mohanti 1982 ;Nag 1990 ;Ram 1979 : 377 402).…”

“…These awakenings manifested themselves in the form of agitations and movements for recognition to their respective vernaculars, formation of unilingual provinces and separation from the dominant nationalities. These movements based on regional identities have been variously termed as 'little nationalism' ( Guha 1979 ), 'regionalism' ( Guha 1983 ;Chandra 1982 ;Majeed 1984 ;Wallace 1985 ;Hargopal 1987 : 360 90;Mishra 1988 ), 'sub-nationalism' ( Sharma 1990 : 370 81) and even full-fledged 'nationalism' (Shah and Munshi). 4 In general, historically speaking these movements flowed under the shadow of the anticolonial movement during the colonial period and did not oppose the interest of the latter.…”
