Print Modernity in Colonial Assam considers the historical context of colonial Assam and traces literary trends which were subject to acknowledgment and evasion in the (over)emphasized periodicals and magazines of the time. Raktima Bhuyan and Sanjib Pol Deka argue for alternative literary trends and reading public in colonial Assam.
