Bihu is the most important non-religious festival of the Assamese people. It is observed by all irrespective of class and caste. It has been being observed from time immemorial. It has been adjusting itself at different ages taking into consideration the changed situation of a particular age. So it is still surviving.
Bihu is mainly a culture of the masses. A time was there when this culture was very much by the upper class people. It was looked down upon and regarded as a culture of the common masses indulged in carnal activities. It was deemed as bad culture. But now this attitude has changed and people of all categories accept it as a universal culture in respect of Assam.
We know that society changes. The socio-economic necessities compel a society to change itself. Our Assamese society has also been changing. So we cannot expect a Bihu of the bygone days to prevail at present. No culture can be preserved in its original form. It is bound to change. So we should not repent that our Bihu has changed largely. It is surviving because it is changing. Had it not changed it would have not survived.
It will be no wonder if a time comes when there will be no Bihu. When a situation will not be there to nurture Bihu it may wither away. We know that many customs of the olden days have died away. We have not been able to keep them nor will we be able to revive them in future. It is the fate of every piece of culture. But we should not be afraid because the Bihu will not die so soon. It will at least remain for a considerable period of time.
many more things are still due in this answer but these are some important fact.
I hope it will help you.
I am also from Assam. so I know about it.
