👉MCQ Answer

    The Hindu civilization has given birth to many sages and warriors over its long history. This is a story of one of its greatest sons mostly known within Assam only. Unfortunately he is unknown amongst most of the Indians.

    In India, the Ahoms in Assam were the only rulers who defeated the Mughals seventeen times. Lachit Borphukan was one of the greatest commanders of Assam. Under his leadership the Ahoms won the Battle of Saraighat in 1671. In his last and decisive battle, inspite of his illness, he inspired a dispirited Ahom naval force to fight against the Mughals.

    There are a number of incidents displaying Lachit's patriotism and devotion towards his motherland. One such incident is based on this quote by Lachit Borphukan. During the preparations for the Battle of Saraighat, he ordered a 'Gar' (an earthen wall) to be built for fortification within one night. He employed his maternal uncle as the supervisor. Late at night when Lachit came for inspection, he found that work was not progressing satisfactorily. When asked for an explanation, his uncle cited that the workers were tired. He became so furious at this negligence of duty that he beheaded his uncle on the spot saying:-

    This incident awakened everyone and the 'gar' was completed within that night. This episode is still cited in Assam as the ultimate example of his sincerity and patriotism.

    Lachit Borphukan was a commander and Borphukan in the Ahom Kingdom. He was the son of Momai Tamuli Borbarua, the first Borbarua of upper Assam. He was educated in humanities, scriptures and military skills. He was first given the responsibility of scarf bearer (Soladhara Barua) of the Ahom Swargodeo. Later he was appointed as the superintendent of the stable of Royal Horses (Ghora Barua). Finally, Ahom King Chakradhwaj Singha selected Lachit Borphukan to lead the army to fight against the Mughals. He recovered Guwahati from the Mughals and successfully defended it against the Mughal forces during the Battle of Saraighat,
