Who was Lachit Borphukan?

Lachit Borphukan was a brave general of the erstwhile Ahom kingdom of Assam. In the battle of Saraighat in 1671, under his leadership, the Ahom army defeated the Mughals. In this war, Lachit, despite having fewer soldiers, defeated the Mughal army led by Aurangzeb. In memory of this victory, Lachit Day is celebrated in Assam on 24 November. The Battle of Saraighat was fought on the banks of the Brahmaputra River in Guwahati. Lachit Borphukan inspired the Assamese troops in the Battle of Saraighat in 1671, which resulted in a humiliating and humiliating defeat for the Mughals. The battle fought by Lachit Borphukan and his army is one of the most inspiring military achievements of resistance in history.
