Understanding Gorkha Migration And Settlement In Assam Through The Post Inception Or Hysteretic Causal Process In The Context Of Continuity And Change

This study has been undertaken to investigate the determinants of Gorkha migration in Assam as a part of the debate of continuity and change using the Post inception or Hysteretic causal process. Through this process an attempt has been made to understand that the migration and settlement of the Gorkhas in Assam in ancient, medieval, and colonial period as a whole is a part of the process of continuity but the factors determining their migration and settlement from the ancient to the colonial period forms a part of the process of change. The study reveals how the event of Gorkha migration and settlement remains constant but the factors determining that event has kept on changing over the course of history.
