Here's the list of channels under other languages category.

DY 365 - Assamese channel
News18 Assam & North East - Assamese channel
News Live - Assamese channel
Nepal 1 - Nepali channel
Rang TV - Assamese channel
Ramdhenu - Assamese channel
Rengoni - Assamese channel
North East Live - Bilangual channel
Indradhanu - Assamese channel
DD Arunprabha - Hindi channel
DD Manipur - No idea
DD Kashir - No idea

We have 7 Assamese channel. So it's a no brainer to recognise Assamese as a language. Not just Assamese all the channels on others category deserves their own section. It's easy for non usual viewers to find the channels. When something happens in Kerala. Instead of national channel. I would have preferred local Malayalam channel for proper understanding of the situation. So it's high time Tata Sky recognise all languages.

I have given feedback months back. But they didn't act upon it. This is not a ridiculous request. So I think Tata Sky should act on it without the requirements of courts or government requiring them to ask to do it.

Tata Sky needs to reveal their markets share in Assam and recognise Assamese as an language. Everywhere I go I see dish of Tata Sky. I think market share atleast in Guwahati city has increased in last two years. Ironically, they don't give a seperate tab for Assamese channels despite having 10 Assamese channels now. They put it under other category with 1 Northeastern channel, 1 Nagamese channel, 1 Kashmiri and 1 channel from Andaman and Nicobar. Every year channel count increases. Mindset doesn't. Even Kashmiri channel deserves a Urdu tab and Nagamese a Nagamese tab. A NESA to compile all Northeastern channels wouldn't hurt either. Other category is just discriminatory.
