About 65 kilometers east of Guwahati, the capital of Assam, a Nepali settlement is found along the highway. The name of the place is Amlighat. Amlighat is famous for its cowherds. The Kapili River is not far from here. But nowadays, cows do not disappear beyond the Kapili River as in Bhupen Hazarika's song. It has been years since the people here stopped raising cows by living in the forests.
