The '''Assam''' region was gradually annexed by the [[East India Company]] following the [[1st Burma War]] and became part of the [[Bengal Presidency]]. In 1906 a new province of East Bengal and Assam was formed but in 1912 Assam became a separate province under a [[Chief Commissioner]]. Assam today is a state in north eastern India noted for its [[Tea Plantation]]s and lush landscape.
