Abstract Abstract:

Lachit Borphokan is the pride and example of patriotism of Bharat who give the greatest example of sacrifices for country by which he inspires and motivates every person of Assam for the supreme sacrifice for our nation if it need. He was born on 24 November 1622 to Momai Tamuli Boabarua and Kunti Moran at Charaideo to a Ahom family. After completing his study in humanities and military strategies, he was appointed as the Saladhara Barua (as Private Secretary) of Ahom King. He was also appointed to other important positions like the superintendent of stable Royal Horses and superintendent of house guards. King Chakradwaj Singha was impressed by his duty, honesty and discipline and made him the commander in chief of Ahom army i.e Borphukan. As a warrior he holds a special place in history. Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb sent Mughals under the leadership of Ram Singha to seize Assam in I671 and Lachit Borphukan defeated them at the battle of Saraighat. Assam was nearly captured by Mughal, but his Captainship prevented them to do so. His patriotism, bravery, dutifulness, and determination are enshrined in the history of Assam also motivate and inspire every person of Assam. Such a great hero of Ma Bharati should be remembered by each and every person of the country. His life and works can be a source of inspiration to all.
