The immigration of landless peasants from East Bengal to the riparian lands of Brahmaputra valley in different parts of Assam which started in the last decade of nineteenth century, gained momentum during the first four decades of the twentieth century. The colonial administration encouraged immigration, because this led to huge utilization of cultivable land and as a result collection of revenue increased. Gradually this immigration created conflicts between the indigenous and the migrant population of the area. Finally, in 1920,  in response to the demand of indigenous people  a system known as the ‘Line System’ was introduced in present-day districts of Barpeta, Marigaon and Nagaon in order to prevent migrants from settling or occupying land, and subsequently the system was extended to other parts of the valley. But the system was not effective as expected.
