A glimpse of college students of Cotton College, Guwahati in the early 90's. Rickshaws, Ambassador cars, Maruti Gypsy SUV's and mini vans can be seen. Women are seen wearing T shirts, sweaters, sarees or sari and Patiala suits. This must have been recorded during winter. The College was first affiliated to Calcutta University, Kolkata.
