The Swadeshi movement spread from Bengal to Punjab, western and central India and down in the south and continued during 1905 to 1911. Economically the Swadeshi movement consisted, of using goods produced in the country in preference to those imported from abroad, and politically making the administration as far as possible Indian. As an integral part of undivided Bengal the South Assam actively participated in the movement.

Many event and activities of Swadeshi movement during 1905-1911 in South Assam has been traced out from primary materials and archival sources.
