== Proposed addition: 1697 Assam (Sadiya) earthquake ==

I would like to propose adding information about the 1697 Assam (Sadiya) earthquake, which is currently not mentioned in this article.

Recent peer-reviewed geological research has provided physical evidence confirming a major seismic event in 1697 CE in the eastern Himalaya/Upper Assam region. Trench investigations at Himebasti village (Assam–Arunachal Pradesh border) document surface rupture consistent with a large earthquake dated to 1697 CE. Historical Ahom chronicles (Buranjis) also describe severe shaking and damage during that period.

The event is estimated to have had a magnitude of approximately Mw 8.5–8.7 and significantly affected the Brahmaputra valley region.<ref name="Sinha2020">

</ref>

Given the availability of peer-reviewed geological evidence and historical documentation, this event appears to meet Wikipedia’s notability and verifiability standards and may warrant inclusion. [[User:Borkotoky1|Borkotoky1]] ([[User talk:Borkotoky1|talk]]) 15:33, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Borkotoky1|Borkotoky1]]. {{tq|currently not mentioned in this article}}. Which article are you referring to? [[Sadiya]]? If you want to add text to that article, go ahead.

Hope that helps. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 20:06, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
