Abstract
The British Colonial policy of immigration and the introduction of Line System had a great significance in the political arena of colonial Assam. From a socio economic problem it became a major political issue in the Brahmaputra valley. It was rightly observed that nothing had split the province more deeply and widely than the immigration problem and policy of land settlement in colonial Assam. The British officials tried to tackle the immigration problem by administrative measures like Line System followed by Colonization Scheme but with little success. The change of ministries in colonial Assam after 1937 was linked up with immigration problem, which defied any solution due to divergent approaches of the political leaders. In this article, I tried to find outthe role of legislative members of colonial Assam in connection to immigration issue and itsconsequences in the political history of Assam.
