The programme commenced with a warm welcome address by Dr. Valentina Brahma, Head of the Centre for North East Studies, setting the tone for the evening\u2019s intellectual engagement.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Union Minister Shri Pabitra Margherita, Chief Guest, said, Lachit Barphukan\u2019s supreme dedication is fundamentally a victory of the Nation\u2019s very soul. Being of Ahom descent myself, this subject holds profound personal significance. His bravery transcends Assamese chronicles; it represents the restoration of the valour saga of all India. His triumph was not just over an army, but a demonstration of that indomitable national spirit which can never be subjugated.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Dhananjay Singh, Guest of Honour, expressed, Lachit Barphukan was more than a military commander; he is a timeless embodiment of courage, duty, and unwavering patriotism. His life teaches us that true strength resides not in weaponry, but in the profound and unbreakable love for one\u2019s motherland and cultural heritage. Assam is not merely a regional state, but the eastern civilizational gateway of India, a source from which devotion, culture, and knowledge have flowed for centuries.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Raktim Patar, Author and Associate Professor, JNU, remarked, Historical narratives in India have often relegated the North Eastern region to the periphery. This book directly challenges that oversight, establishing that the region has always been a vital nucleus of Indian civilization. Its publication in Hindi is a dedicated step towards making this glorious history accessible to the widest national audience.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The presence of Shri Prabhat Ji, Prabhat Prakashan, added distinction to the ceremony. The event concluded with a heartfelt Vote of Thanks delivered by Shri Surendra Ghongkrokta, President, Centre for North East Studies, who expressed gratitude to all dignitaries, participants, and organisers for making the programme a resounding success.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
