APPENDIX- F
MINUTES OF A CONFERENCE OF OFFICIALS AND NON – OFFICIALS
HELD ON 20TH SEPTEMBER 1926 TO DISCUSS COLONIZATION
AND KINDRED MATTERS
-------PRESENT
The Hon’ble Mr. A. W. Botham, C.S.I., C.I.E., Member, Finance and
Revenue – Chairman.
The Hon’ble Sir Saiyid Muhammad Saadulla, Minister, Education.
Mr. W. L. Scott, Director of Land Records.
Mr. H. M. Prichard, Secretary, Revenue and Finance.
Mr. C. Gimson, Settlement Officer, Nowgong.
Srijut Nabin Chandra Bardaloi, M.L.C.
Srijut Kameswar Das, M.L.C.
Srijut Bishnu Charan Bora, M.L.C.
Maulavi Keramat Ali, M.L.C.
2.
The general policy of the colonization scheme was first discussed.
Srijut Nabin Chandra Bardoloi said that every colonization area. The first
point was agreed to and it was pointed out that the proposed colonization
area
in
Nowgong
was
as
compact
as
was
possible
under
the
circumstances. The second point is dealt with later.
3.
He also urged that it was essential to leave enough land for the
future expansion of the Assamese. It was pointed out that the present
proposals did in fact leave ample room for the expansion of the
indigenous population. The time would come when further settlements with
immigrants would leave no room for the expansion of the Assamese ; but
that time had not yet come and the decision would have to be left to the
Government of the time. It was not necessary to consider this in
connection with the present scheme.
4.
Srijut Kameswar Das asked what would happen if new immigrants
purchased a periodic patta in a settled area outside the colonization
scheme. Mr. Botham explained that without legislation it was impossible to
prevent this but that such an immigrant would not be allowed to extend
his holding by squatting in areas where settlement with immigrants was
prohibited.
5.
Srijut Nabin Chandra Bardaloi expressed the fear that the proposal
to take salami was the thin end of the wedge and might be followed by
an attempt to demand payment from Assamese occupying Government
waste lands. It was pointed out that under the present proposals the
immigrant got a considerable return for the money which he was called on
to pay and that in place of the present scramble he was definitely allotted
land and a special staff was employed to settle the area on scientific lines ;
also that a substantial amount (Mr. Botham refused to bind himself to an
exact proportion) would be returned to the locality for communications,
sanitation and other needs. It was suggested, therefore, that the word
“salami” should be dropped and some term such as “colonization
premium” adopted to indicate that the money was paid in return for
special privileges.
6.
The committee then turned to consider the details of Mr. Gimson’s
scheme. As to the amount of the premium the Hon’ble Sir Saiyid
Muhammad Saadulla suggested that Rs. 20 per bigha would be adequate
payable in three kists, viz., Rs. 5, Rs. 5 and Rs. 10. Srijut Kameswar Das
and Maulavi Keramat Ali agreed with him. Srijut Nabin Chandra Bardaloi
thought that the total premium should not exceed Rs. 25. Mr. Gimson said
that the amount of the premium was not an essential part of the scheme
but expressed the opinion that the immigrants would willingly pay Rs. 30
per bigha for the eventual privilege of a periodic patta. Srijut Bishnu
Charan Bora agreed with him.
7.
With regard to the method of settlement Mr. Gimson explained that
as it was impossible to demarcate or survey the land while it was still
under jungle the Settlement Officer would take a group of, say, 20
families, allot them 600 bighas and tell them to divide it up among
themselves. Each family would, before this was done, be required to pay
the first portion of the premium Rs. 5 for each bigha which he proposed
to take up. It was essential that such groups should be formed by the
immigrants themselves and not by the Settlement Officer. They would then
be required to adjust their holdings and the first kist of the premium
which they had already paid amicably. It was objected that a man might
pay his first premium and actually get no land, and it was decided that
the receipt given for his payment should state clearly that permission was
given to open up so many bighas of land. Then the suggestion was made
that the division of the land might lead to squabbles, but Mr. Gimson
explained that it was very difficult to allot it in any other way when it
was still under jungle and that this was in actual practice the way in
which immigrants took up waste land at present. After two years’ time the
land being partially cleared a rough survey would be made and annual
pattas issued. Disputes and obvious inequalities would be dealt with then,
but it was not anticipated that there would be any real difficulty.
8.
The point was then discussed whether other areas should be closed
to immigrants. Mr. Gimson thought that for the first year at any rate
immigrants would not come to the colonization area and pay a premium if
they could get land elsewhere. After some time when the advantages of a
systematic settlement were realized, he thought that the colonization
scheme could stand against competition ; but it would be unfortunate if it
was set down as a failure because it was slow in starting on this account.
The general opinion, however, was that it would not be practicable to
refuse settlement altogether in districts where there was ample waste land
but there was no colonization scheme working. It was thought, therefore,
that similar schemes should be started for Barpeta, Mangaldai and North
Lakhimpur. The Hon’ble Mr. Botham stated that the principal difficulty in
doing this at present was the lack of officers who could be placed in
charge.
9.
The scheme of the Deputy Commissioner, Kamrup, for protecting
Kacharis was then discussed. The Committee was clearly of opinion that
the Kacharis and kindred races needed protection. Reference was made to
certain legal difficulties which might arise, but it was thought that the
experiment was worth trying. As regards the special form of patta it was
thought that the consideration for the restriction, viz., the specially low
rates of revenue should be entered and that the class of persons to whom
transfer was permissible, viz., Kacharis and other allied tribes should be
very carefully defined.
10.
Srijut Kameswar Das asked what would be the position of any
Assamese who already held land in the villages included in the scheme
and it was explained that the restrictive provisions would only apply to
persons who accepted the new form of patta.

APPENDIX- E
THE ORIGINAL ORDERS OF DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF NOWGONG
INAUGURATING THE LINE SYSTEM IN NOWGONG DISTRICT
ORDER
The Colonisation Officer, in consultation with the Circle Sub –
Deputy Collectors concerned, has prepared lists of all the villages in the
Mauzas open to settlers from Eastern Bengal, namely :(1) Loakhowa.
(2) Khatowal.
(3) Juria.
(4) Dhing.
(5) Mikirbheta.
(6) Geruabokoni.
(7) Mayang.
(8) Charaibahi.
I have checked these lists with him, and have classified the villages
under the following heads :(1) Villages in which there are at present only Mymensinghia
settlers. In these the Mymensinghias can be permitted to take up
land without hindrance. Assamese should not take up lands in
these villages without the sanction of the Deputy Commissioner.
It is probable that if they do so, they will only do so out of
speculation.
(2) Villages in which there are at present only Assamese and where
there is land available for Mymensinghias. In all these villages
the Colonisation Officer or the Sub – Deputy Collectors should
fix lines, reserving ample land for the Assamese, allowing for
future
expansion,
and
allotting
areas
for
settlement.
The
colonization Officer will report progress monthly in respect of
this.
(3) Villages in which there are at present only Assamese, and where
Mymensinghias
should
not
be
permitted
to
settle.
The
Colonisation Officer, Sub – Deputy Collectors and revenue staff
generally will be held responsible that Mymensinghias do not get
a footing in these villages. Any attempt to do so should be
reported immediately to the Deputy Commissioner, and any
mandal failing to report will be severely punished. Orders have
been issued to this effect before and have not always been
observed.
(4) Villages in which there are at present both Assamese and
Mymensinghias, in which a line has been fixed. No further
action is necessary in respect of these villages, except that the
revenue staff will be held responsible, as in the case of villages
under heading (3), for seeing that Mymensinghias do not
encroach into the portion of the village reserved for Assamese,
and that any attempt to do so is immediately reported.
(5) Villages in which there are at present both Assamese and
Mymensinghias, in which no line has been fixed. In many of
these villages no line is necessary. The Assamese holdings
merely consist of pams, and they can continue to hold these or
sell them to the Mymensinghias, without any friction with the
latter. In some cases no line can be fixed. The Mymensinghias,
have been established in the village for some time, and the
holdings of the two communities are thoroughly intermingled.
But where possible, a line should be fixed. The Colonisation
Officer and the Sub – Deputy Collectors must give their attention
to this without delay. Orders have been passed in the lists with
respect to each village. The revenue staff will be responsible for
seeing that these lines are observed, when fixed, as in the case
of villages already under heading (4).
(6) Villages in which there is at present no cultivation, which should
be reserved for Assamese. There are not many of these. But the
flow of colonization is proceeding so rapidly that it is necessary
to make some provision for the expansion of cultivation by the
indigenous population. The revenue staff will be held responsible
that no encroachment takes place in these villages.
(7) Villages in which there is no cultivation at present and where
Mymensinghias should be permitted to settle. There are not many
of these, except in Mayang Mauza. I have passed no final
orders at present with regard to Mayang Mauza, as I am not
sufficiently acquainted with all the villages. The classification
made by the Colonisation Officer and Sub – Deputy Collector
will stand for the present, but settlement in this mauza by
Mymensinghias should be discouraged until they have worked
their way through Geruabokoni to Mayang.
These orders will be placed in the Standing order book and a copy
of the orders and the list sent to each Sub – Deputy Collector concerned
who will be responsible for seeing that his Spervisor Kanungoes and
mandals have a list classifying all the villages in their sub – circles and
lots, and that they understand the orders regarding each village and see
that they are strictly observed.
Mymensinghias have settled in various mauzas other than those
mentioned above, where their settlement was not authorized. Those in the
following villages of the following mauzas have been in possession of
their lands for a considerable time, in many cases from before the time
when the orders limiting the Mymensinghias colonization to certain mauzas
were issued. They will not be disturbed but further colonization by new
comers should not be permitted :Mauza

APPENDIX- G
(On Eviction)
The Ministry decided to start eviction of illegal Muslim immigrants in
the Assam Valley in November, but it is now reported that these evictions are
taken up with the communal tension as high as it is at the moment, it can
fairly be said without a shadow of doubt that the Muslims of the Surma
Valley will retaliate against the Hindus there. The Surma Valley immigrants are
encouraged by Abdul Hamid Khan and others to prevent eviction and it is
reported that there has been an increasing influx into the immigrant areas of a
large number of Muslims very recently.
***********
In this connection, some of the Assam Ministers pointed out that
Muslims are being deliberately brought into a Muslim majority province, but
no direct evidence to this effect has ever came the way of the office……

On Eviction (in Assamese)
Note : After eviction some of the immigrants from Darrang district came and settled at
Kaliabor in Nagaon district. The extent of the immigration problem can be understood from
the following letter written by Roshnath Bhuyan, President, Jamuguri Central Congress
Committee to Rajani Kanta Goswami, President, Kaliabor Congress Committee, Nagaon.
