Today and tomorrow, the State Government of Assam, in partnership with the Assam Moran Sabha, is hosting a number of events to commemorate Bir Raghab Moran Diwas. The festivities pay tribute to the heritage of Bir Raghab Moran, who is particularly dear to the Assamese people and the Moran community as a symbol of bravery, patriotism, and resistance.
In addition to appreciating the great liberation fighter’s sacrifices to the cause of justice and independence, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma offered his sincere condolences. “Bir Raghab Moran’s legacy is a source of immense pride not only for the Moran community but for all Assamese people,” remarked the chief minister. He also prayed for a successful and meaningful celebration of the festivities commemorating this important day.
Bir Raghab Moran is credited with spearheading the first large-scale uprising against the repressive monarchy in 1769. His exceptional military tactics, organizational abilities, and sense of patriotism made him a symbol of resistance to oppression. His narrative demonstrates the unbreakable character of the Assamese people, and his attempts to bring together the downtrodden and exploited ordinary people are still held in high regard.
