Introduction
The Boria Assam of India work mainly in agriculture. Their name is derived from a term for widow. They live in the Brahmaputra Valley of India’s Assam state. They speak, read and write in Assamese. The Boria Assam eat rice and meat, fish and eggs. Widows, widowers and divorced can marry again. After the father's death, his property is divided equally among the sons. Like most Hindu communities, the Boria Assam practice cremation for their deceased.
Ministry Obstacles
There are so few Christ followers among the Boria Assam that they will need to hear the gospel from outsiders.
