Somehow I got this writing of Lt Gen SK Sinha, the first General rank officer of Indian Army to resign when his junior was made General.But this Bihari NDA officer is always in high praise for Lachit and the bravery of Assams forgotten hero's.
This link will tell- http://www.hvk.org/articles/0801/92.html Might be this why he always favoured as well Indian Army follow Lachit technique in NDA training.Lt Gen Sinha's love for Assam is memorable.He discovered my father veteran freedom fighter Pani Ram Das(93 yrs old) as real existing hero and so he has been getting heroic welcome by Army for lot many celebrations that no civilian does.Patharughatar ronn celebration started by this Lt Gen. What about Gohai Kamal?Dhodar Ali? Jongal Balahu? How Mahapurux Sankardeb crossed mighty Brahmaputra by walk in knee deep water when he was chased by Koch king? But same time all the soldiers drowned!!! Harisinga: at present Udalguri Dist....Hari(Krishna) played war tone through his Xinga at this place.So called as Hari Xinga(Now Harisinga).My birthplace Kalaigaon: the birth place of Kendu kalai,head priest of Ma Kamakhya.When Kamakhya slapped him, his head fell down at "Mura Deor" 6 miles north near Kabir ali.The temple still exists in pathetic condition.The gigantic Daa was of course, looted by then bodoland agitating people(God save them now).Kalaigaon reamined a place of religious harmony.The jyotixis were famous. I wish all could contribute from their respoective village tales and we could make a new chapter.Might be my web site will get converted one fine day as a big history of assam that never written before! We need collect lot and write up as it was.India will not think of us.We need to do for our own sake that there was real fighters than cowards. Long ago I did wrote about how Koch and Ahom kings used Nahar seed as light ups house,palace and as firing weapon on the tip of arrow.I too learnt this technique in my childhood from my fathers village which exists since 622 BC.This making technique is highly interesting.(When I did joined Air Force in 1982, by 1983 CRPF raided and took my big bow and arrow....) The art of making bow and arrow is also amazing.Its not made simply.Sky star pattern helps to do all.. I did that.I hope someone from Maharaja bonxo will tell better- our lost history.The golden days. Dr.Bikash Kumar Das
