'''Undivided Assam''' refers to the then undivided greater state of [[Assam]] in India soon after the [[Independence of India|Indian Independence]] in 1947 until 1963. In addition to the present-day Assam, it included the current states of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[Meghalaya]], [[Nagaland]] and [[Mizoram]]. The capital of this state was [[Shillong]], currently the capital of Meghalaya.<ref>{{cite web |title=Assam Gazzeter: Geology|url=http://online.assam.gov.in/web/guest/assamgazetter?webContentId=172774 |date= |publisher=Government of Assam |page= 33|accessdate=}}</ref> Undivided Assam included five of the seven contiguous states of [[Northeast India]]—with [[Tripura]] and [[Manipur]] not being a part of it. <br />
<br />
Prior to the [[Partition of India]], [[Sylhet Division|Sylhet]] was a part of Assam.<br />
<br />
Undivided Assam had a total area of {{convert|234568|km2|abbr=on}} which is slightly smaller than the nation of [[Ghana]]. The present day population of Undivided Assam would be 50 million which is slightly less than the population of [[South Korea]].<br />
