Abstract: “The example of Lachit Barphukan and his selfless contributions for the Ahom dynasty and for his own people will be a source of inspiration not only to the countrymen in Assam but also to my friends in the rest of India.”, thus wrote S. K. Bhuyan in his book “Lachit Barphukan and his Times”. Indeed, the name of Lachit Barphukan has long been revered and epitomized for his self-less love for motherland, dauntless courage, geographical vision, military ingenuity and leadership. The history Assam from 1662 CE to 1671 CE comprises mostly of the conflicts and battles between the Ahom and the Mughal. The Ahom kingdom was established in the Brahmaputra valley by Siu-ka-pha in the year 1253 CE with the first capital at Charaideo after thirty-eight years of their journey from Mong Mao. And very soon the name, fame and might of the Ahom kingdom had established itself as a major political power in the entire region of the North-East India. The rise of the Ahom kingdom caught the attention of the Mughal emperor in Delhi which resulted in the wish of the Mughal emperors to extend their territorial domains to further East, beyond Bengal and also to have command over larger part of Hindustan and move farther ahead to reach Tibet. Besides, they also wanted to possess the rich mineral and natural resources of Assam by this invasion. But, the patriotism of Lachit Borphukan resisted them to conquer this part of India.
