The names of Alexander, Napolean, Nelson, General Grant, Labid bin Alid are known all over the world, but how many people outside Assam know the name of Lachit Borphukan? Lachil Borphukan is not a name only, he is an ideal symbol of patriotism, loyalty, dutifulness, courage, bravery, and war strategy.
Lachit Barphukan was born on 24th Novem, 1622 in a village near Gargaon in Sibsagar in the womb of Nageshwary by Momai Tamuli Barbaruah in the Lan-fima clan. He was the seventh son of his parents. Being born in the Ahom dynasty, he received proper education and learned war-strategy from his childhood. By means of his bravery, discipline, and dutifulness, he drew the attention of the Ahom King and was first appointed to the post of ‘Hatidhara Tamuli’i and later on he was upgraded to a General and subsequently he was upgraded to the Commander-in-chief and fought the Mughals commanded by Ramshing and defeated the huge army of the Mughals in the battle of Saraighat in 1671. Lachit Borphukan was so patriotic and loyal that he beheaded his maternal uncle for his negligence of duty.
By defeating the Mughals, he not only kept up the freedom of the Ahom Kingdom but also taught us the lesson of bravery, loyalty, and patriotism.
We should be inspired by his ideal. Our heart-felt homage goes to him on the 400th birth anniversary of our pride Lachit Borphukan. 0 0 0.
