Thank you, Bikash ! We should be able to be grateful to stalwarts like General SK Sinha who did so much for Lachit. I mentioned that in my article ATAN BURAGOHAIN SAKO (attached again), where I also wanted to thank Queen Mother of Jaipur who saved Assam from the second invasion by Ram Singh. I'll be very grateful if everyone reads the article
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/files/misc/as.doc and asks the most pointed quesion: Why the Battle of Saraighat is one of the top battles in the world history ??? "Compared to the Battle of Saraighat, even Napoleonic battles appear to be crude cannonade. In his tactics to outsmart the Mughal cavalry, Shivaji used hideouts in the hills. Lachit connected the natural hills by man-made earth ramparts. Shivaji defeated the enemy mostly by surprise attacks, an option not available at Saraighat. Similar to Alexander's battles, in Saraighat, a small army defeated a much larger army by using rivers, swamps, forests, moats, hills and every bit of the contour of the terrain, skillfully deploying all possible natural assets including Time". My efforts will be rewarded if younger generations realize the reality. With warm greetings, Himendra
