The tables turned in India on a fateful day when the Assam Accord was signed, marking the end of the Assam Movement, a six-year-long agitation that shook the country. The accord was a culmination of talks between the Government of India and the leaders of the movement, who had been fighting against the influx of outsiders in Assam. Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, played a crucial role in brokering the agreement, which paved the way for the formation of the Asom Gana Parishad, a regional political party. The accord not only brought peace to the troubled state but also led to a new era of regionalism in Indian politics.
