KAMTAPUR

The Kamatapur is the ancient name of the Koch dynasty which includes the present divided Kamatapur kingdom which includes the entire North-Bengal of the West Bengal, most of the parts of present Assam and adjoining parts of Bihar, Nepal, Bhutan and the present parts of the ancient Rongpur of Bangladesh.
It is a state demanded by the Rajvanshi/Rajbongshi/Koch-Rajbongshi people. People in West Bengal have claimed discrimination by the West Bengal government that has led to the poor state of affairs in the region.
Among the demands include recognition of their vernacular Kamtapuri, establishing a separate university, development of education and the setting up of a separate state. The demand has led to the setting up of the Kamtapur Peoples Party to attain statehood.
