Even then, the territory was an exotic ethnic mix that included Indo-Aryan Assamese, Assamese-speaking Hindus in the Brahmaputra valley, dozens of hill tribes of Mongoloid stock, and indigenous plains tribes. Then came successive waves of Bengalis, both Hindus and Muslims, who were first brought in by the British to run the tea plantations and the civil service of the British raj.

...were separated in s shipwreck at a very young age, and now Antipholus of Ephesus, having sought his lost lost twin for seven years, finds himself in the hostile city of Syracuse, not knowing tat this brother lives there.
