Some Dimasa-Cachar people of northeast India have been demanding a separate state called Dimaraji or "Dimaland" for several decades.[when?] It would comprise the Dimasa-inhabited areas, namely Dima Hasao district, parts of Cachar district, parts of Nagaon district, Hojai district and Karbi Anglong district in Assam together with part of Dimapur district in Nagaland.[citation needed]
