Undivided Assam refers to the then undivided greater state of Assam in India soon after the Indian Independence in 1947 until 1963. In addition to the present-day Assam, it included the current states of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram. The capital of this state was Shillong, currently the capital of Meghalaya.[4] Undivided Assam included five of the seven contiguous states of Northeast India—with Tripura and Manipur not being a part of it.
