Book Description

About the Book The Bodos(Kacharis) constitute a very important group of Indo-Mongoloid (Tibeto-Burman) people of north-east India. They are concentrated in various parts of Assam, and are considered to be one of the earliest settlers of Assam, who had built powerful kingdoms in various parts of north-east India. This book attempts to trace the history of these tribal people, their glory during the medieval period, their fall during the Mughal rule and their efforts to awaken during the British Raj. The Bodos were illiterate, slothy due to their fondness for drinking jou(rice beer), reared pigs, lived in unhealthy surroundings, which led them to be labelled as untouchables by the upper caste Hindus. Persistent and path breaking efforts made by their renowned educational, cultural and social reformer GurudevKallicharan Brahma bore fruit and many changes were brought in the Bodo way of living, customs, religion, habits. Notable among them were his efforts to motivate his people to discard their old religion and convert to a new religion called Brahma dharma. He was instrumental in spreading literacy by convincing the colonial authorities to open schools, and in starting a magazine called Bibar. Moreover, his pioneering role in launching various unions among the Bodos is laudable. This book is a veritable 'must read' for all those who wish to know about the Bodos and the socio-religious-cultural transformation that took place in them and a new dawn that they had entered into.

About the Author Kumud Ranjan Basumatary was born in a village of the present-day Kokrajhar district of Assam. He graduated from Union Christian College, Shillong, with Honours in History. Soon after obtaining an MA from the North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, he had joined as a lecturer in 1990 at the Gossaigaon College. He was awarded PhD from the Bodoland University, Kokrajhar. His areas of interest lie in the reconstruction of local history, especially the historical incidents which have not been able to draw sufficient attention of the historians.

Acknowledgements At the very outset, I would like to express my profound gratitude to Dr. Oinam Ranjit Singh, Associate Professor, Department of History, Bodoland University, Kokrajhar, Assam, for his valuable and inspiring guidance at every phase of my work. I shall always remain indebted to him. In all these years of the study, he has always managed to help me with his wit, knowledge and kindness. If not for him, my work could not have been completed within the stipulated time period. I also sincerely express my gratitude to Mr. Sudev Chandra Basumatary, Head of History Department, Bodoland University, Dr. Jaysagar Wary, Asstt. Professor, Dr. Nushar Bargayary, Guest Lecturer, Department of History for their kind inspiration and valuable suggestions. I also take the opportunity to thank my employer, the Gossaigaon College, for giving me the No Objection Certificate to accomplish my work and my colleagues for their encouragement and helping hand. I also express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Manjil Basumatary, Hitesh Das and Dhananjay Brahma for inspiring me to carry on the research work whenever I stumbled because of my ill health.

Introduction The state of Assam is situated in the north-eastern part of India between latitudes 24°and 26°North and longitudes 90° and 96° East'. The present area of Assam is 24,283 square miles which constitute the plain districts. Physiographical divisions of Assam are the Brahmaputra valley, the Barak valley and the hill regions. The plains of Assam consist of the great river valley of the Brahmaputra which is an alluvial plain with an area of 56,339 sq. km. The river Brahmaputra enters the north-eastern corner of Assam and turns to west passing through all districts of north Assam. The Brahmaputra valley comprises of the modern districts of Goalpara (now further sub-divided into six subdivisions), Kamrup (into five subdivisions), Darrang (into four subdivisions), Nowgaon (into three subdivisions), Sibsagar (into five subdivisions) and Lakhimpur (into four subdivisions). The Barak valley is situated to the south of the Meghalaya plateau. The river Barak flows through the valley and finally joins the old bed of Brahmaputra river in Bangladesh. The state's hill regions consisting of KarbiAnglong and Cachar hills separate the two valleys of Brahmaputra and Barak.
