'''Raijmel'''<ref>{{Harvcol|Guha|1977|p=53f}}</ref> (Assamese: {{transl|as|raij}} (people), ''mel'' (meeting)) is a people's meeting in [[Assam]], an old political and social institution that originated in medieval times. The word {{transl|as|raij}} is derived from {{transl|as|rajya}}, which was originally an administrative or a fiscal unit in some parts of medieval Assam. Since these meetings could encompass more than one village, they were politically more potent than the village [[panchayat]]. Raijmels played an important role in peasant organization and uprisings in [[colonial Assam]], especially during the uprisings at Phulaguri (1861) and Patharughat (1894). In present-day Assam, villagers continue to meet in.{{transl|as|italic=no|raijmels}}.<br />
