The Barak valley is located at the southern border of Assam. At present it covers three districts i.e Cachar, Karimganj and Hailaknadi, which are situated on the river Barak and her tributaries. In fact, the river Barak is the life line of the valley. Linguistically, although the valley is dominated by the Bengali speaking population, other linguistic communities like the Manipuris, Dimasa, tea workers community etc. are also inhabiting here and a healthy coexistence is noticed in the valley. From religious point of view the Hindus and the Muslims are the major communities in the region.
