লাচিতৰ শিক্ষা গ্ৰহণ.

ৰাজকীয় পৰিয়ালত জন্মগ্ৰহণ কৰা বাবে লাচিতে সামৰিক আৰু অসামৰিক দুয়োবিধ শিক্ষাই ল’বলগীয়া হৈছিল। লাচিতৰ জন্ম ৰাজকীয় পৰিৱেশত হোৱা বাবে কৰ্তব্যপৰায়ণ, কৰ্মনিষ্ঠা, সততা আদি গুণ পৰিয়ালৰ পৰাই পাইছিল। আহোমসকলৰ এটা বিখ্যাত ফৈদ হ’ল বিখ্যাত লান ফিমা বংশ। এই ফৈদৰে লোক লাচিত। এই ফৈদৰ আদি পুৰুষজন চুকাফাৰ লগতে অসমলৈ আহিছিল।

লাচিতে একেদিনাই ফুকনলুঙৰ পদ পোৱা নাছিল। তেওঁ প্ৰথমতে আছিল ঘোঁৰা বৰুৱাৰ পদত। এই পদত থাকোঁতে তেওঁ অতি দুৰ্দান্ত ঘোঁৰাক বশ কৰিছিল। ঘোঁৰা বৰুৱা, দুলীয়া বৰবৰুৱা, শিমুলগুৰীয়া ফুকন, দোলাকাষৰীয়া বৰুৱা (দোলা কঢ়িওৱা আৰু পালি পহৰীয়া সকলক চলোৱা) হোৱাৰ পিছতহে চাওফা  চুপুংমুং ৰ ফুকনলুং হৈছিল।

“বঙাল শত্ৰু কাষতে আছে, কেনেকৈ ছৈয়দ ফিৰোজ আৰু ছৈয়দ চালাক ধৰিব পাৰি।”

লাচিতে উত্তৰ দিলে-

“চাওফাৰ ৰাজ্যত মানুহ নাই নেকি? বঙালনো কি? মানুহহে! আমাৰ ৰাজ্যত নোলাব নেকি তেনে মানুহ। চাওফা আদেশ দিবহে লাগে।” [4]

বিখ্যাত আলাবৈ ৰণত লাচিত বৰফুকনৰ ভূমিকা

১৬৬৭ চনত আহোম-মোগলৰ যুদ্ধ আৰম্ভ হৈছিল। এই যুদ্ধত লাচিতে তেওঁৰ বীৰত্বৰ পৰিচয় দি মোগল সৈন্যক মানাহ নদী পাৰ কৰি খেদি পঠিয়াইছিল। অসমীয়া সৈন্যৰ হাতত হোৱা মোগলৰ এই পৰাজয়ৰ কথা সহ্য কৰিব নোৱাৰি এইবাৰ মোগল সম্ৰাট ঔৰংজেৱে সেনাপতি ৰামসিংহক ১৬৬৮ চনৰ ৬ জানুৱাৰীত অসম আক্ৰমণ কৰিবলৈ প্ৰেৰণ কৰিছিল। মোগলৰ বিশাল সৈন্যবাহিনী দেখিও লাচিত বৰফুকনে অলপো বিচলিত নহৈ শত্ৰুৰ সৈতে পৰাক্ৰমেৰে যুঁজ দিবলৈ অসমীয়া সৈন্য সকলক আহ্বান জনাইছিল আৰু সকলোকে নিজৰ কৰ্তব্যত অৱহেলা নকৰাৰ বাবে সকীয়নি দিছিল। মােগলে তেতিয়া কামৰূপ জিলাৰ দলিবাৰীৰ ওচৰৰ আলাবৈ পৰ্বতৰ দাঁতিত বাহৰ পাতি আছিল। এই আলাবৈ ক্ষেত্ৰতেই ১৬৬৯ চনত আহােম আৰু মােগলৰ মাজত এখন তয়া-ময়া ৰণ হয়। এই যুদ্ধৰ নাম আলাবৈ যুদ্ধ। আলাবৈ যুঁজত একেদিনাই প্রায় ১০,০০০ আহােম সেনাই প্রাণ দিব লগা হয়। আলাবৈৰ যুদ্ধৰ পৰাজয়ে লাচিতৰ মনলৈ হতাশা আনে। কিন্তু মহামন্ত্রী আতন বুঢ়াগােহাঁইৰ বুজনিত তেওঁ পুনৰ দৃঢ় হল।

ঐতিহাসিক শৰাইঘাটৰ ৰণ আৰু  লাচিতৰ বীৰত্ব

লাচিতে উত্তৰ গুৱাহাটীৰ আমিনগাঁৱৰ ওচৰত শত্ৰু সৈন্যক ভেটা দিবলৈ এটা গড় নিৰ্মাণৰ কাম আৰম্ভ কৰিছিল আৰু তাৰ চোৱা-চিতাৰ কাম তেওঁৰ এজন মোমায়েকক প্রদান কৰিছিল। কিন্তু গড় নিৰ্মাণৰ কাম পিছ পৰি থকাত গড় নিৰ্মাণস্থলীতে তেওঁ মোমায়েকক শিৰচ্ছেদ কৰি ‘দেশতকৈ মোমাই ডাঙৰ নহয়’ বুলি কৈ নিজ দেশভক্তিৰ পৰিচয় দিছিল। তেওঁৰ এই উগ্ৰমূৰ্তি দেখি সকলো বৰ শংকিত হৈছিল আৰু দুগুণ শক্তিৰে কাম কৰি ৰাতিৰ ভিতৰতে গড়ৰ কাম সম্পূৰ্ণ কৰি মোগল সৈন্যক ভেটা ‘ দিছিল।

তেনে সময়তে কিছুদিন পিছত আহোম স্বৰ্গদেউ চক্ৰধ্বজ সিংহৰ মৃত্যু হ’ল। ৰামসিংহইও লাচিতৰ লগত যুদ্ধ সন্ধিৰ প্ৰস্তাৱ আগবঢ়াই । আনফালে লাচিতাে নৰীয়াত পৰিল। এনে পৰিস্থিতিত পৰৱৰ্তী স্বৰ্গদেউ উদয়াদিত্য সিংহই আতন বুঢ়াগােহাঁইৰ পৰামৰ্শ লৈ মােগলক চিৰদিনৰ বাবে খেদি পঠিয়াবলৈ থিৰাং কৰিলে।

স্বৰ্গদেউৰ আদেশ মানি লাচিতে নৰীয়া দেহাৰেই নৌ-যুদ্ধৰ বাবে সাজু হ'ল। নদীৰ মাজত আহোম-মোগল বাহিনীৰ মাজত ভীষণ যুদ্ধ চলিল। অসমীয়া সেনাৰ বীৰত্বত বহুতাে মােগল সৈন্যই মৃত্যু মূখত পৰিল আৰু লাচিতৰ নেতৃত্বত আহোম সেনাই মােগলক মানাহ নদীলৈকে খেদি পঠিয়ালে । এইখনেই হ’ল ১৬৭১ চনত সংঘটিত ইতিহাস প্ৰসিদ্ধ বিখ্যাত শৰাইঘাটৰ যুদ্ধ।

লাচিত বৰফুকনৰ নেতৃত্ব বহন কৰা এই শৰাইঘাট যুদ্ধ হ'ল অসমৰ ইতিহাসৰ সোণালী আখৰেৰে জিলিকা যুগান্তকাৰী ঘটনা। মহা পৰাক্ৰমী মোগল শক্তিক পৰাভূত কৰা লাচিত বৰফুকন নেতৃত্বই অসম বাসীৰ শৌর্য-বীর্য তথা সন্মান বিশেষভাৱে বৃদ্ধি কৰাত গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ ভূমিকা পালন কৰিলে। নৰীয়া শৰীৰে অথচ বুদ্ধিমত্তাৰ উদাহৰণ দাঙি ধৰি লাচিত বৰফুকনে যিদৰে মোগল সৈন্যৰ সৈতে সন্মুখ সমৰত লিপ্ত হ'ল সেইয়া অতি প্ৰশংসনীয়। গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ কথা যে ৰণনীতিগত ক্ষেত্ৰত ব্যাপক ইন্ধন যোগাই লাচিত বৰফুকনে প্ৰথম বাৰৰ বাবে গেৰিলা যুদ্ধ পদ্ধতিৰ প্ৰৱৰ্তন কৰিছিল।

লাচিত বৰফুকনৰ বীৰত্বৰ সম্পৰ্কত প্ৰতিদ্বন্দ্বী মোগল সেনাপতি ৰামসিংহই প্ৰশংসাৰ সুৰত কৈছিল-‘বৰফুকন এজন ডাঙৰ যোদ্ধা,চক্ৰাকৃতি বেহু আৰু আগবাঢ়ি ধৰিবলৈ ক’তো ছিদ্ৰ নাই’।ৰামসিংহই আহোমৰ ৰজা-প্ৰজাৰ লগতে সেনা বাহিনীকো প্ৰশংসা কৰি কৈছিল-‘ধন্য আহোম ৰজা,ধন্য মন্ত্ৰী,ধন্য সেনাপতি,ধন্য সেনা।এক আদমীয়ে সকলো সেনা চলাইতে পাৰে’।

The heroism of Lachit Borphukan, legendary Ahom general and proud symbol of Assamese self-identity

Who was lachit borphukon, and why is he significant in the narrative of assamese nationalism.

an essay on lachit borphukan in assamese

A three-day celebration of the 400th birth anniversary of the legendary Assamese general and folk hero Lachit Borphukan began in New Delhi on November 23. The ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and Law Minister Kiren Rijiju among others.

Last week, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma released a theme song composed by singer Zubin Garg as part of its ongoing celebration of the 400th birth anniversary of the Ahom general. The song was a tribute to the sacrifice of ‘Mahabir’ Lachit, Sarma said, and hoped that it would boost “nationalistic fervour” among the people.

Earlier this year, then President Ram Nath Kovind had inaugurated the celebrations in Guwahati , laying the foundation stone for a war memorial and a 150-foot bronze statue of the hero.

So, who was Lachit Borphukon, and why is he significant in the narrative of Assamese nationalism?

History of the Ahom kingdom

The Ahom kings ruled large parts of what is now known as Assam for nearly 600 years, from the early 13th century to the early 19th century. This was a prosperous, multi-ethnic kingdom which spread across the upper and lower reaches of the Brahmaputra valley, surviving on rice cultivation in its fertile lands.

Festive offer

The Ahoms engaged in a series of conflicts with the Mughals from 1615-1682, starting from the reign of Jahangir till the reign of Aurangzeb. One of the major early military conflicts was in January 1662, where the Mughals won a partial victory, conquering parts of Assam and briefly occupying Garhgaon, the Ahom capital.

The counter-offensive to reclaim lost Ahom territories started under Ahom King Swargadeo Chakradhwaja Singha. After the Ahoms enjoyed some initial victories, Aurangzeb dispatched Raja Ram Singh I of Jaipur in 1669 to recapture the lost territory — eventually resulting in the Battle of Saraighat in 1671.

Legend of Lachit Borphukan

Lachit was a brilliant military commander who knew the terrain of the Brahmaputra valley and the surrounding hills like the back of his hand. He was chosen as one of the five Borphukans of the Ahom kingdom by king Charadhwaj Singha, and given administrative, judicial, and military responsibilities.

Unlike the Mughals who preferred battles in the open with their massive armies, Borphukan preferred guerrilla tactics which provided an edge to his smaller, but fast moving and capable forces. Much like Shivaji’s encounters with the Mughals in Marathwada, Lachit inflicted damage on the large Mughal camps and static positions. His raids would kill unsuspecting Mughal soldiers and frustrate the mighty armies that were too ponderous to respond swiftly.

When the monsoon set in, Mughal plans were complicated further. However, as the Mughals were able to successfully camp around the foothills of Alaboi, the Ahom king ordered Borphukan to carry out a frontal assault which led to the deaths of nearly 10,000 Ahom warriors and ended in a weary Mughal victory in 1669.

As the Mughals attempted to progress through the valley, they realised that travelling by the river would be faster. Lachit, who was a great naval warrior and strategist, created an intricate web of improvised and surprise pincer attacks. According to the historian H K Barpujari (‘The Comprehensive History of Assam’), the Ahom forces combined a frontal attack with a surprise attack from behind. They lured the Mughal fleet into moving ahead by feigning an attack with a few ships from the front. The Mughals vacated the waters behind them, from where the main Ahom fleet attacked and achieved a decisive victory.

Lachit Borphukan died a year after the Battle of Saraighat from a long festering illness. In fact he was very ill during the Battle of Saraighat, as he heroically led his troops to victory. This only added to his legend.

Lachit Borphukan in Assamese culture

Every culture and community has its heroes. Over time, Lachit Borphukan’s exploits have become a symbol of resistance against outsiders against all odds. He has become one of the greatest of Assamese heroes, symbolising the valour, courage, and intelligence that defines the Assamese self-identity.

Arup Kumar Dutta, author of The Ahoms, told The Indian Express last year that Lachit Borphukan represented a time when the “Assamese race was united and able to fight an alien, formidable force such as the Mughals”.

Dr Jahnabi Gogoi, a professor of mediaeval history in Dibrugarh University, told The Indian Express last year that Lachit Divas has been celebrated on November 24, his birth anniversary, in Assam since the 1930s.

Lachit Borphukan: The Unsung Hero of Assam

Table of Contents

Lachit Borphukan: The Valiant Warrior of Assam

Lachit Borphukan was a remarkable leader who defended his homeland from the mighty Mughal empire in the 17th century. He is celebrated as a hero and a symbol of Assamese pride and identity. In this blog, we will explore his life, his achievements, and his legacy.

Who was Lachit Borphukan?

Lachit Borphukan was born on 24th November 1622 in Charaideo, Assam. He was the youngest son of Momai Tamuli Barbarua, a general and a minister in the Ahom kingdom. The Ahom kingdom was established by the Tai people who migrated from present-day Myanmar and China in the 13th century. They ruled over most of the Brahmaputra valley and parts of present-day Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Manipur for six centuries.

Lachit received a comprehensive education in statecraft, history, military tactics, and culture from his father and other teachers. He also learned Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic languages. He showed great promise as a soldier and an administrator and rose through the ranks of the Ahom bureaucracy. He served as a Ghora Barua (cavalry officer), a Dulia Barua (river officer), a Simalugiria Phukan (governor of Simaluguri), and a Dolakasharia Barua (chief revenue officer).

What was the Battle of Saraighat?

The Battle of Saraighat was the decisive clash between the Ahom kingdom and the Mughal empire in 1671. It was the culmination of a long series of conflicts that started in 1615 when the Mughals invaded Assam under Emperor Jahangir. The Mughals wanted to expand their territory and control the lucrative trade routes along the Brahmaputra river. The Ahoms resisted fiercely and fought back with guerrilla warfare and diplomacy.

The Mughals made several attempts to conquer Assam but failed to subdue the Ahoms. The most notable invasion was led by Mir Jumla II, the governor of Bengal, in 1662-63. He captured Guwahati, the strategic gateway to Assam, and forced the Ahom king Jayadhwaj Singha to sign a humiliating treaty that ceded territory and imposed tribute. Mir Jumla died soon after due to illness and his army retreated.

The Ahoms took advantage of the situation and launched a counter-attack under King Chakradhwaj Singha in 1667. They recaptured Guwahati and other areas from the Mughals with the help of Lachit Borphukan, who was appointed as the Borphukan (viceroy) of Lower Assam and the commander-in-chief of the Ahom army.

The Mughals were not willing to give up their claim on Assam and sent another large army under Raja Ram Singh I, a Rajput general and a son-in-law of Emperor Aurangzeb, in 1669. Ram Singh had about 30,000 soldiers, 15,000 cavalry, 30 elephants, and a large fleet of boats. He also had allies from Koch Bihar, Cachar, Manipur, and some local chieftains.

Lachit Borphukan had about 10,000 soldiers, 4,000 cavalry, 500 elephants, and a smaller fleet of boats. He also had allies from Garo hills, Naga hills, Kachari kingdom, Tipam kingdom, and some local chieftains.

The two armies met at Saraighat, a narrow stretch of the Brahmaputra river near Guwahati. The battle lasted for several months and involved land and naval engagements. Lachit Borphukan displayed extraordinary courage, skill, and leadership in defending his position against overwhelming odds. He motivated his soldiers with inspiring speeches and personal examples. He also devised ingenious strategies to counter the Mughal tactics.

One of the most famous incidents of the battle was when Lachit Borphukan beheaded his own uncle for neglecting his duty at a critical juncture. He declared that his father’s son was not greater than his motherland.

Another remarkable incident was when Lachit Borphukan himself led a daring night attack on the Mughal camp despite being severely ill. He disguised himself as a Mughal soldier and infiltrated their ranks with a small group of men. He then set fire to their boats and tents and created panic among them.

The final blow to the Mughal army came when Lachit Borphukan launched a massive assault on their fleet with his own boats. He used fire arrows, gunpowder, and explosives to destroy their ships and force them to retreat. The Mughals suffered heavy casualties and lost most of their equipment and supplies.

The Battle of Saraighat was a glorious victory for the Ahoms and a humiliating defeat for the Mughals. It marked the end of the Mughal ambitions in Assam and secured the Ahom sovereignty for another century.

What was the significance of the victory?

The victory of Lachit Borphukan in the Battle of Saraighat was not only a military triumph but also a cultural and political assertion. It demonstrated the resilience and valor of the Ahom people who fought for their freedom and dignity against a powerful invader. It also showcased the diversity and unity of the Assamese society that comprised of various ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups who joined hands to defend their common homeland.

The victory of Lachit Borphukan also had a wider impact on the history of India. It prevented the Mughals from extending their empire to the east and south-east of India. It also inspired other regional powers such as the Marathas, the Sikhs, and the Rajputs to resist the Mughal domination and assert their autonomy.

What is the legacy of Lachit Borphukan?

Lachit Borphukan is revered as a national hero and a cultural icon in Assam. He is remembered for his bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice. He is honored with various monuments, statues, awards, and institutions named after him. His birth anniversary on 24th November is celebrated as Lachit Divas in Assam.

Lachit Borphukan is also recognized as one of the greatest generals in Indian history. He is compared with other legendary warriors such as Shivaji, Rana Pratap, Guru Gobind Singh, and Maharana Pratap. He is admired for his military genius, strategic vision, and ethical values.

Lachit Borphukan is a source of inspiration and pride for all Indians who value their freedom and identity. He is a symbol of courage, loyalty, and devotion to one’s motherland.

Lachit Borphukan: Assam’s Great General

  • AUTHOR Team LHI
  • PUBLISHED 23 February 2018

The very name Assam, with its roots in the word Asama or invincible, denotes how this land held its own, though most of India’s medieval history. Ruled by the powerful Ahoms for 600 years from the mid 13th century, the Mughals couldn’t touch Assam. In fact, it was here that they suffered their most embarrassing defeat.

The year was 1671 and the decisive battle of Saraighat was fought on the raging waters of the Brahmaputra. On one side was Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's army headed by Ram Singh of Amer (Jaipur) and on the other was the Ahom General Lachit Borphukan, who made his way into history books that year. Details of his spectacular victory were meticulously captured in a ‘ Buranji ’ the official chronicles of the Ahom kings, maintained through their reigns. It gives us a vivid picture of what happened over 350 years ago.

The Story of Lachit Borphukan's Triumph: The Background

To understand the story of Lachit Borphukan’s triumph over the Mughals, it is important to get some context of the history, geography and politics of Assam. The kingdom of Assam comprised of a stretch of land 600 miles wide, along the banks of Brahmaputra river. It was surrounded by high hills and thick forests. The capital was at Garhgaon in present-day Eastern Assam, while a viceroy known as Borphukan administered from Guwahati. Thick forests, rivulets and the tough terrain meant that they were hardly any roads. All transport, as well as trade, took place over the river Brahmaputra. It was the lifeline and so the entire length of the Brahmaputra was protected by a series of powerful forts.

The Ahom kingdom was established in 1228 CE, by Chao Lung Siu-Ka-Pha from a Shan tribe from Yunnan, China. In fact, both the dynasty’s name ‘ Ahom ’ as well as the region’s name ‘ Assam ’ comes from the word ‘ Asama ’ or invincible, a local name for this mighty tribe which ruled here for almost 600 years. The Ahoms ruled a rich land. The Brahmaputra valley was rich in timber and elephants and so under constant attack.

Assam was invaded several times by the armies of the Delhi Sultanate in the 16th century with no success. The only invader, who managed to conquer some parts of Assam was the Mughal Governor of Bengal Mir Jumla who had occupied large parts of the Ahom kingdom including Guwahati and the capital, Garhgaon. Yet, within five years, the Ahoms took back control of most of the lost territories.

In August 1667, the Ahom general Lachit Borphukan had recaptured Guwahati. This outraged Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and he sent the Mughal commander Ram Singh of Amer (Jaipur) with a large force in what would be the last Mughal attempt to conquer Assam.

How the Saraighat Battle was Won

The details of the battle that ensued come to us from the Ahom court chronicles, the ‘Buranjis’. In ‘ Ram Singhar Yudhar Katha ’ written by Achutyananda Doloi, the astrologer-in-chief to the reigning Ahom King of the time and later reproduced by historian SK Bhuyan in the book ‘ Lachit Barphukan and his times ’, one gets a vivid picture.

In 1670, the Mughals under Ram Singh’s army comprising of 21 Rajput chiefs, 30,000 infantry and 18,000 Turkish cavalry, marched towards Guwahati through the Brahmaputra river.

Within Guwahati, Lachit was well prepared for the Mughal army and geography helped. The heavily forested and fortified hills surrounding Guwahati provided a ring of defence spanning 25 square miles. Moreover, the fortifications of Guwahati were surrounded by hidden ditches with bamboo pikes, to impale enemy cavalry. The unsuspecting and ill-prepared Mughal army marched into the war zone of Guwahati almost unopposed. They attributed it to Assamese cowardice, without realising the counter plan.

Ahom warriors

Once in, they became a complacent and easy prey to the planned guerrilla attacks of Lachit and his men. The Ahoms would attack only at night and then retreat immediately. There was even an instance when the Ahom army entered the Mughal camp walking out with all the silverware, they found! So harassed was Ram Singh that he sent off a letter to Lachit demanding he stop these attacks at night, To which Lachit is said to have replied ‘It must be remembered that Lions fight at night.’

Guerilla attacks were part of larger psychological warfare that Lachit and his men planned and the Mughal army was flummoxed by what it witnessed. Rumours were spread claiming that the Ahom army fought at night because it had rakshasas or demons. When the Mughal army head Ram Singh refused to believe this and demanded proof, Lachit is also said to have sent men dressed like demons into the Mughal camp to convince him!

– The Ahom army would attack at night and once even entered the Mughal camp, walking out with all the silverware, they found!

Demoralized and ill-prepared, the Mughal army even tried to make peace on ground, only to be thwarted by the Emperor Aurangzeb who was adamant to destroy the Ahoms.

The final battle was fought in early 1671 when the Mughals made a desperate attempt to break through the fortifications. Lachit who was ill at that time is said to have heroically gotten out of his sickbed, and rowed his boat straight at the enemy. This the chroniclers say, galvanized the Ahom army to such a frenzy that the Mughal forces were annihilated

The battle, which would become known as the battle of Saraighat, was fought on the Brahmaputra. Ahom boats a built an unpenetrable fortification on water placing their boats in a row, one after the other across the breath of the river. The whole of stretch of Bramhaputra flowing through Guwahati between Kamakhya, Itakhuli and Aswakranta became littered with boats and dead bodies. The Mughal flotilla was completely smashed and the Mughal admiral Munawwar Khan shot dead. It was a complete and decisive victory for the Ahoms.

This battle of Saraighat came to be immortalised in Assamese literature and even today, you will find a small village called ‘Sarai’ on the banks of the Brahmaputra where the battle was fought.

Lachit Borphukan of an unknown illness died a year later in April 1672 at the age of fifty. As a mark of respect, the Ahom King Udayaditya Singh built a memorial in his honour in Jorhat, 305 km east of Guwahati. Ram Singh returned to Delhi in disgrace.

And after the victory at Saraighat, the Ahom kings ruled Assam for over 150 years more, that is till the annexation of the kingdom by the British in 1826.

Today, Lachit Borphukan is revered as the greatest military hero of Assam. In 1999, the then Chief of the Indian Army General VP Malik instituted the annual Lachit Borphukan Gold Medal Award for the best cadet of National Defence Academy (NDA). And in 2016, a 35 ft high status of Lachit and his men was inaugurated in the middle of the Brahmaputra, at the scene of his great victory, still so proudly remembered. Each year on 24th November,

Lachit Divas (Lachit Day) is a regional public holiday in the Indian state of Assam, observed on November 24th each year.

Lachit Borphukan – The Hero of Assam

A quick look at the life and times of Lachit Borphukan and his glorious contribution to the Ahom Kingdom of Assam

When we think of the resistance to Mughal rule in India, the names that come to mind are Shivaji and Rana Pratap. However, a relatively lesser-known figure from Assam by the name of Lachit Borphukan deserves a place in the illustrious list of native heroes. Lachit first displayed his military genius, when he recovered Guwahati from the Mughals in 1667. For this brilliant victory, he was presented with the Hengdang, a gold-plated sword by Raja Chakradhwaj Singha. This victory was his first major win against the Mughals but certainly not his last or most glorious. The short video gives an account of the contribution of Lachit Borphukan to Indian History, conveying how he played a vital role in the preservation of Assamese culture from the invading Mughal armies.

Lachit borphukan: the valiant warrior of assam.

“Could it be that there is no fit man in Your Majesty’s realm? What are the enemies? They are after all ordinary mortals. Shall we not find similar men in our own country? Your Majesty should only confer the dust of your feet, and the man equal to the occasion will be readily found.”

-Lachit Dolakasharia Barua (Lachit Borphukan) so addressed the King at the court of Ahom Swargadeo Chakradhwaj Singha.

Lachit: A Saga of Victory

Born on 24 November 1622 in Charaideo, Assam, Lachit was the youngest son of Sukuti (popularly called Momai-tamuli), Assam’s General in the Ahom-Mughal wars during the reign of Mughal Emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan. Ruled by the Swargadeo (King), the Ahom Kingdom (1228 CE-1826 CE) was administered by five highly designated officials called the Patra Mantris or Council of Ministers. The Borphukan was one of them.

Sukuti (Momai-tamuli) faced a lot of hardships and initially served under his nephew for a total of four rupees. The nephew used to address him as Momai (maternal uncle). Swargadeo Pratap Singha (1603 CE-1641 CE), on coming to know about Sukuti’s sincerity and dedication towards his duties, appointed him as Bar-tamuli or Superintendent of the royal gardens. Momai-tamuli steadily rose in position until he was appointed Barbarua , which essentially combined the functions of the Chief Executive Officer and those of the Lord Chief Justice of the land. During the early battles with the Mughals, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Ahom forces. His vigilance and bravery used to be a great asset to Swargadeo Pratap Singha. A Mughal messenger once commented to his master, “O Saheb, what do you say of Assam? The King is a veritable Mahadeva and Momai-tamuli is Mahadeva’s Chief henchman or Nandi. As long as these two wield the affairs of Assam, it is impossible to turn your face to that country.” This remarkable sense of dedication to work, loyalty, and respect for his master made Momai-tamuli rise to power and prominence.

Lachit inherited this supreme sense of responsibility and dedication from his father. From a very young age, Lachit saw and listened to everything that occurred in his father’s official residence. Being a Barbarua, Momai-tamuli had the usual retinue of subordinate officials helping him with the running of the state affairs, taking decisions regarding revenue and judicial complaints, receiving foreign messengers, and dealing with the problems of state diplomacy.

It was normal for the families of Ahom nobles to appoint efficient teachers for the education of their sons. Pandits and intellectuals who imparted knowledge on statesmanship based on the Ahom classics as well as the Hindu Dandanities and Arthasasthras and taught the history of the country and the administrative system, were regularly consulted. Military training was integral to the education of noble families. Every officer, even a judge as well as a priest had to take up arms in times of emergency.

Lachit began his career as the scarf-bearer of the Premier, a position equivalent to that of a private secretary. It was considered the first step in the career of an ambitious diplomat and politician. Being a scarf-bearer, he had to carry a bundle of betel nuts and important documents for his master. He also had access to the royal audience and cabinet meetings. Lachit held various offices throughout his career. Initially, he served as the Ghora Barua or Superintendent of the Royal Horses. Later he was appointed as the Dolakasharia Barua or Superintendent of the Guards. Swargadeo Chakradhwaj Singha (1663 CE-1670 CE), soon after becoming the King, appointed Lachit as the Commander-in-Chief and the Borphukan. The position of Borphukan had both executive and judicial powers, and had jurisdiction over the Ahom Kingdom, west of the Kaliabor river. The Borphukan was also responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations with Bengal and Bhutan.

Lachit Borphukan and the Battle of Saraighat

Swargadeo Chakradhwaj Singha appointed Lachit as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ahom forces at a crucial period amidst the ongoing Ahom-Mughal conflict. Chakradhwaj Singha refused to pay the full instalment to the Mughals agreed upon in the Treaty of Ghilajharighat, signed in 1663 CE by his predecessor Swargadeo Jayadhwaj Singha. He rather instructed Lachit Borphukan to prepare his army to fight the Mughals. Lachit completed his preparations by the summer of 1667 CE, and his army recaptured Guwahati, which was previously occupied by the Mughal forces. In December 1667, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, sent a huge force to Guwahati under the command of Raja Ram Singh of Amber, to re-establish Mughal authority. The news of the departure of Raja Ram Singh and his army from Delhi was promptly communicated to Lachit Borphukan through his spies. Lachit, aware of the numerical and technological strength of the Mughal army, immediately initiated a survey of Guwahati to make it into a war zone. Guwahati, located on the banks of the river Brahmaputra and surrounded by hills from all sides, was strategically crucial for the Ahoms. Lachit realised that the fortifications of Guwahati must be secured to safely accommodate their men and resources. Prime Minister Atan Buagohain was appointed by the King to erect and maintain the necessary fortifications on both banks of the River Brahmaputra. Lachit Borphukan had to ensure that all his forces were equipped with sufficient resources to sustain the attack. He even inspected the passes and defiles in the neighbourhood of Guwahati. The sense of vigilance and courage shown by Lachit Borphukan in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief was incredible.

The core of Ram Singh’s army consisted of 21 Rajput Chiefs, 4000 troopers, 1500 gentlemen troopers, and 500 artillerymen, and with reinforcements from Bengal, the strength of his army increased to 30,000 infantry, 18000 Turkish cavalry and 15000 archers. Lachit Borphukan received reports of the Mughal army advancing towards Guwahati, and he personally verified the reports by surveying their position. It is said that tears rolled down his cheeks when he said to himself, “It is a tragedy that my country is facing this dire catastrophe during my Phukanship. How will my King be saved? How will my people be saved? And how will my posterity be saved?” However, he did not let this break his spirit. He was determined to defend his motherland to the end. Lachit was aware that the Mughals were inexperienced in naval battles and wanted to take advantage of it. He surveyed and identified a triangular region called Andharubali in Guwahati, (it connects Nilachal hill and Itakhuli hill on the southern bank, and Aswakranta hill on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra) to be the most convenient site to fight a naval battle. In February 1669 CE, Raja Ram Singh’s army reached the frontier garrison of Rangamati. Lachit Borphukan, in order to lure the invaders into the war zone of Guwahati, (the land surrounded by hills on all sides with forts and garrisons at regular intervals), despatched three officers towards the Manaha river to entice the enemy into the neighbourhood of Guwahati.

As the fortifications of Guwahati were further strengthened, Lachit Borphukan did not spare anyone who did not execute his orders.

It is said that Lachit assigned his own maternal uncle with the responsibility of constructing a rampart near Amingaon on the north bank of the Brahmaputra. However, his uncle was unable to complete the work within the specified time. An incensed Lachit executed his uncle for such a careless attitude. His words, “My uncle is not greater than my country” showed his priorities.

In 1670 CE, Swargadeo Udayaditya Singha succeeded to the throne following the death of Chakradhwaj Singha. In 1671 CE, the Mughal army led by Raja Ram Singh made its way to Guwahati with a naval flotilla sailing upstream of the Brahmaputra. The Mughal army unable to use the roadways due to fortifications, took the riverway to enter Guwahati. As soon as they were about to land at Andharubali , the Ahom land and naval forces were ordered to attack the Mughals. Lachit Borphukan was on his sickbed when the Mughals entered Guwahati. He was monitoring the movements of the enemy from the top of his gatehouse on Itakhuli hill. He observed that the Ahom army had started retreating after losing confidence in the face of the massive Mughal force. He immediately boarded his boat which was accompanied by six other war vessels, and headed towards the site of the naval battle. Borphukan exclaimed, “His majesty has given me the supreme command of the army here and placed at my disposal vast stores of provisions so that I may fight with the enemy. Should I now desert the fight and revert to the embraces of my wives and children? How dare these serfs of boatmen venture to row up the boats without my orders!” Seeing their angry chief, the Ahom army decided to fight back and faced the enemy with renewed courage and confidence. With courage and astute warfare tactics they finally defeated the Mughals near Saraighat, an area on the south bank of the river near the Pandu port. The Mughal army was forced to retreat from Guwahati. They were pursued to the river Manas, which was on the western boundary of the Ahom Kingdom.

Raja Ram Singh, at the end of the battle, hailed the courage and skill of the Ahom army saying, “Every Assamese soldier is an expert in rowing boats, in shooting arrows, in digging trenches, and in wielding guns and cannon. I have not seen such specimens of versatility in any other part of India.” He is further said to have exclaimed with astonishment after experiencing the valour and vigilance of Lachit, “Glory to the King! Glory to the counsellors! Glory to the commanders! Glory to the country! One single individual leads all the forces! Even I, Ram Singh, being personally on the spot, have not been able to find any loophole and opportunity.”

The joy of victory of the Ahom army in the battle of Saraighat diminished with the news of Lachit Borphukan’s death soon after the battle. Though he had a high fever while leading his army in the battle, it was his unsurpassed dedication and patriotism that empowered him to fight the enemies to protect his motherland for future generations. Borphukan died in 1672 at Holongapar in Jorhat. In 1672, Swargadeo Udayaditya Singha, as a mark of respect and remembrance to the legendary Commander-in-Chief, constructed the Lachit Maidam at Hoolungapara.

A stone pillar found at Guwahati has the following inscription in Sanskrit, “The Borphukan of Namjani [Lower Assam], son of the Barbarua, lived with glory in the Saka year 1589 [1667 A.D.] after having attained victory over the Yavanas [Muslims] who were equipped with various war-weapons, elephants, horses and captains. The person of the Borphukan is adorned with every ornament, and his heart is enlightened with a knowledge of the various branches of learning. He is beautified by attractive qualities which are also free from the evils of the Kali-yuga. The Borphukan shines effulgent in his prowess; and is the commander of elephants, horses and soldiers. He is the ocean or receptacle of the highest form of fortitude, self-respect, valour, and depth of judgement and gravity.

Ahom Kingdom

The Ahom Kingdom was a medieval kingdom that ruled over the Brahmaputra Valley in present-day Assam, a northeastern state of India. The Ahom dynasty, of Tai-Ahom ethnic origin, established and maintained this kingdom for nearly six centuries. The kingdom played a crucial role in shaping the region’s cultural, political, and historical landscape.

  • The Ahom people, originally of Tai origin, migrated from Yunnan in present-day China to the region that is now Assam during the 13th century.
  • Sukaphaa, the founder of the Ahom Kingdom, established his rule in the early 13th century. The Ahoms gradually assimilated with the local communities.
  • The rulers of the Ahom Kingdom were titled Swargadeo. The kingdom was ruled by a hereditary monarchy.
  • The kingdom was divided into administrative units called “Borgohain” and “Borpatrogohain,” with officials responsible for governance at various levels.

The Ahom people had their distinct culture, which was influenced by their Tai heritage. The Ahom culture integrated with that of the local communities over time.

  • The Ahom script, known as the Ahom Buranji script, was used for writing chronicles and historical records.
  • The Ahom Kingdom had a formidable military force. The Ahom soldiers were known for their skills in archery, cavalry, and the use of firearms.
  • The Ahom Kingdom successfully resisted Mughal invasions during the 17th century, notably during the leadership of Lachit Borphukan in the Battle of Saraighat.

Decline and Annexation:

Burmese Invasions: The Ahom Kingdom faced invasions by the Burmese in the early 19th century. These invasions led to internal conflicts and weakened the kingdom.

British Annexation: The British East India Company became involved in the conflicts, and the Ahom Kingdom eventually came under British control. The Treaty of Yandabo in 1826 marked the formal annexation of Assam by the British.

Lachit Borphukan’s legacy is not only significant for Assam but also serves as a source of inspiration for those who value courage, leadership, and the defense of one’s homeland. His contributions are remembered and revered as part of the rich historical and cultural tapestry of Assam.

Lachit Borphukan Essay in English - 100, 200, 500 words

The monarch Chakradhwaj Singha named Lachit Borphukan as the supreme commander of the Ahom army. Lachit Borphukan oversaw the defence of the Ahom kingdom against the Mughal army headed by Mir Jumla II. He successfully resisted the Mughals' attempts to cross the Brahmaputra River and enter Ahom land.

As it was one of the rare times a regional authority successfully defended against the Mughal Empire, the Battle of Saraighat is regarded as a key event in Indian history. Lachit Borphukan is regarded as a hero in Assam and his leadership and tactics are still revered today. In Assam, his accomplishments are honoured annually as the Lachit Divas.

Lachit Borphukan made several significant contributions to the history of Assam and India, particularly during his leadership as the commander-in-chief of the Ahom army.

Contributions of Lachit Borphukan

Here are some of his notable contributions:

Defence against Mughal invasion | Lachit Borphukan is best known for his successful defence against the Mughal Empire during the Battle of Saraighat in 1671. He led the Ahom army and prevented the Mughals from advancing further into Ahom territory, which is considered a significant event in Indian history.

Military reforms | Lachit Borphukan is also credited with introducing several military reforms in the Ahom army, such as improving the training and equipment of soldiers, increasing the number of cavalry units, and strengthening fortifications.

Naval force | Lachit Borphukan is believed to have played a significant role in the development of the Ahom navy, which proved to be crucial during the Battle of Saraighat.

Infrastructure development | Lachit Borphukan also contributed to the construction of several infrastructure projects in the region, such as the construction of a bridge over the Brahmaputra river and the fortification of various strategic locations.

Overall, Lachit Borphukan's contributions as a military commander and leader continue to inspire and influence people in Assam and India.

In the Ahom kingdom, which is now Assam in northeastern India, Lachit Borphukan was born in 1622. He was the son of Momai Tamuli Borbarua, an Ahom army leader, and came from a distinguished family. Lachit Borphukan got in-depth military instruction as well as practical training in classic disciplines like literature and history.

King Chakradhwaj Singha named Lachit Borphukan the supreme commander of the Ahom army in 1667. He commanded numerous successful battles against various tribal groups who were generating trouble in the area and instituted a number of military reforms. His greatest accomplishment, nevertheless, occurred in 1671 in the Battle of Saraighat, when he triumphantly defended the Brahmaputra river from the Mughal Empire under the command of Mir Jumla II.

During the battle, Lachit Borphukan's leadership and strategic thinking were crucial in defeating the much larger Mughal army. He utilised guerrilla warfare tactics and naval forces to disrupt the Mughal advances and ultimately force them to retreat.

Lachit Borphukan became ill after mounting a strong defence against the Mughals, and he died in 1672. He was given the honorific title "Lachit Divas" after his passing, and Assamese and Indians are still motivated by his reputation as a valiant fighter and military tactician.

Lachit Borphukan's reputation is still honoured throughout Assam and India as a testament to bravery, loyalty, and leadership. His legacy has been honoured and recognised in a number of ways, some of which are included below:

Monuments and memorials | Several monuments and memorials have been erected in memory of Lachit Borphukan, including a statue at the Brahmaputra river in Guwahati and a memorial in the Lachit Maidam area of Jorhat.

Military inspiration | Lachit Borphukan's leadership and military tactics continue to inspire the Indian armed forces. He is particularly revered by the Indian Army's Assam Regiment, which is known for its bravery and valor in battle.

Cultural impact | Lachit Borphukan's contributions to Assamese culture, particularly his patronage of traditional art forms, literature, and music, continue to inspire and influence artists and musicians in the region.

National recognition | The Indian government said in 2021 that Lachit Borphukan's image will be on view with other national heroes in the main chamber of the Indian Parliament.

Lachit Borphukan's reputation as a valiant warrior, military tactician, and cultural patron continues to inspire and have an impact on people in Assam and India, and his contributions to Indian history are highly recognised and honoured.

The Lachit Borphukan Gold Medal is an award given by the government of Assam to honour exceptional accomplishments in a number of disciplines, including literature, art, science, and athletics. The honour bears the name of Lachit Borphukan, a hero in Assamese history and the head of the Ahom army in the 17th century.

Lachit Borphukan

Lachit Borphukan was a general of the Ahom Kingdom whose army he led successfully in resisting the imperial expansion of the Mughal Empire in the late 1600s. 

To this day he is remembered for his bravery and leadership in the face insurmountable odds.

This article will give details about Lachit Borphukan within the context of the Civil Services Examination .

Background of Lachit Borphukan

Lachit Borphukan was born on 24 November 1622 to Momai Tamuli Borbarua and Kunti Moran. His father was the commander-in-chief of the Ahom army. The Ahom kingdom was located in the Brahmaputra valley of eastern India. It was first established in 1228. The kingdom was repeatedly assailed upon by Turkic and Afghan rulers of the Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire

The Mughal-Ahom conflict first began in 1615 and continued afterwards. It was in this backdrop  Lachit grew up in. Upon completing his education in humanities and military strategies, Lachit was given the responsibility of serving as the Soladhara Barua (scarf-bearer) a modern-day equivalent of a private secretary to the Ahom King. He held other important positions such as Superintendent of the Stable of Royal Horses and Superintendent of the Royal Household guards before being appointed as the commander of the Ahom Army.

By the time of Lachit Borphukan’s appointment as commander, the Mughals had occupied Guwahati and had forced the Ahom’s to sign the humiliating peace treaty of  Treaty of Ghilajharighat in 1663 which imposed harsh conditions on the Ahom kingdom. King  Chakradhwaj Singha resolved to rid the entire region from Mughal occupation, a will that would be carried out by Lachit Borphukan.

Battle of Saraighat

Lachit raised the army and preparations were completed by summer of 1667. His army successfully retook Guwahati from the Mughal forces. Emperor Aurangzeb (born on November 3, 1618 ) after being informed of the defeat at Guwahati sent an expeditionary force from Dhaka under Ram Singh. Due to the numerical and technological inferiority of the Ahom forces, Lachit resorted to guerilla tactics which successfully withered away from the Mughal army.

Knowing fully well that Ahom forces would easily be defeated if their commander was removed, Ram Singh resorted to subterfuge. An arrow carrying a letter by Ram Sing was fired into the Ahom Camp. It later reached Chakradhwaj Singha. The letter stated that Lachit had been paid 1 lakh rupees to evacuated Guwahati. Furious that his commander was allegedly in negotiations with the enemy, the king started doubting his sincerity, but his prime minister Atan Buragohain convinced him that this was a trick by the Mughals to make Chakradwaj Singh dismiss the commander who successfully fought the Mughals so far.

Having exhausted all avenues Ram Singh made his way to Guhawati with a naval flotilla sailing upwards of the Brahmaputra river in 1671. He came upon an Ahom flotilla led by Lachit Borphukan himself near Saraighat. Once again outnumbered and outgunned in open space, the Ahom soldiers began to lose their will to fight. Some elements began to retreat and seeing this Lachit boarded a boat himself to rally his troops. Offered to be taken to safety by one of his troops, Lachit furiously threw some of them into the water bodily despite being severely ill, loudly proclaiming that he would “die fulfilling his duty to his king and country, even if it meant he had to do it by himself”. Inspired, Lachit’s soldiers rallied and a desperate battle ensured on the river Brahmaputra.

Read more about the Battle of Saraighat, 1671 in the linked article.

Lachit Borphukan was victorious. The Mughals were forced to retreat from Guwahati. The Mughals were pursued to the Manas river, the Ahom kingdom’s western boundary. The Borphukan instructed his men not to attack the retreating army. 

Lachit Borphukan would die in 1672. His remains lie in rest at the Lachit Maidaam constructed in the same year by King Udayaditya Singha at Hoolungapara 16 km from Jorhat.

This would not be the end of Mughal incursions into Ahom territory as the Mughals would take Guwahati in 1679, retaining it until 1682 when the Ahoms would permanently end the prolonged Ahom-Mughal conflict.

Legacy of Lachit Borphukan

On 24 November each year, Lachit Divas is celebrated statewide in Assam to commemorate the heroism of Lachit Borphukan and the victory of the Assamese army at the Battle of Saraighat.

Lachit Divas is celebrated to promote the ideals of Lachit Borphukan – the legendary general of Assam’s history.

The best cadet from the National Defence Academy is awarded the Lachit Borphukan gold medal. It was first instituted in 1999 following an announcement by General VP Malik saying the medal would inspire defence personnel to emulate Barphukan’s heroism and sacrifices.
