The Assam Movement was gaining philosophical ground, and the state was witnessing a renaissance in literature and theater.

A: No. The Assamese calendar (lunisolar) handles leap years differently via "Adhik Maash" (extra month). 1972 Gregorian was a leap year (Feb 29), but the Assamese year 1894 (starting April 14, 1972) did not have an Adhik Maash.

Notice how the year ended with a full moon, considered highly auspicious in Assamese culture.
