Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on November 25 attended the celebrations of 400th birth anniversary of legendary Ahom General Lachit Borphukan in New Delhi. While speaking at the ceremony, CM Sarma said that PM Modi always inspires them to bring history, unsung heroes to light. Assam CM Sarma said, “PM Modi always inspires us to bring our history, unsung heroes to light. This is our humble effort to bring the proud saga of Lachit Barphukan before the country. But just the efforts of government are not enough, there should be efforts from people, historians too.” “Humble request to Historians-India isn’t just the story of Aurangzeb, Babar, Jahangir or Humayun. India is of Lachit Barphukan, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Guru Gobind Singh, Durgadas Rathore. We should make an effort to see in a new light. It will fulfil our dream to be Vishwa Guru,” he added.
