    Digital Desk: In a recent podcast hosted on the 'Enchanted Studios YouTube channel, a youth named Adeed Rahman has sparked a heated debate by drawing controversial parallels between the Ahom community in Assam and Chinese culture. Rahman's statements have ignited discussions on cultural sensitivity and understanding, leading to widespread backlash.


    During the podcast, Rahman claimed that the Ahom community, indigenous to Assam, shares cultural similarities with the Chinese, citing the presence of dragons in both cultures. He went on to assert that the Ahom culture is distinct from the broader Assamese culture, further highlighting differences in marriage customs.


    The use of the term "total Chinese" in Rahman's statements has particularly angered the Assamese community, leading to a significant uproar on social media platforms. Many individuals, including members of the Ahom community and Assamese cultural enthusiasts, have condemned Rahman's remarks as culturally insensitive and historically inaccurate.


    The controversy quickly gained traction on social media, with users expressing their opinions on the matter. 'Enchanted Studios' responded to the escalating situation by putting the video on private, making it unavailable for viewing. Despite this, a snippet of the contentious podcast was procured and shared by a Facebook user.


    As discussions on cultural sensitivity intensify, viewers are demanding an apology and a retraction of Rahman's controversial statements. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of thoughtful and respectful discourse when discussing cultural differences and histories.
