2. Conclusion
No much studies have been
done on these writers till date. Enough scope is there to conduct enumerative
studies on these areas. At this present times, exclusive and intensive study
can draw attention. Due to absence of work done on this level, the present and
past writer are being unknown with the facts and current knowledge about their
writings. Therefore it has become important to carry out research and review
their writings. So the present writers and the common readers get maximum
benefit of it and contribute much and more about literary knowledge and growth
of Assamese literature in this region.
