Bhabananda Deka: Voice of Modern Assamese Thought
Bhabananda Deka (1929–2006) was a renowned Assamese poet, writer, economist, and cultural thinker whose contributions significantly shaped modern Assamese literature and academics. Known for blending lyrical beauty with deep philosophical reflection, his poetry captured the essence of Assamese identity and emotion during a time of cultural transformation.
As the first Assamese economist to write economics in the Assamese language, Deka made subjects like economics accessible to students in their mother tongue. His textbook Axomor Arthaneeti became foundational in Assamese academia and was included in the Gauhati University syllabus.

Deka was also an influential essayist and literary critic. He played a key role in promoting Assamese as a language of intellectual discourse and was deeply involved in the Asam Sahitya Sabha. Through his literary, academic, and cultural work, he bridged tradition with modernity and helped elevate Assamese voices in national and international spheres.

Bhabananda Deka’s legacy lives on as a pioneer who used language, literature, and knowledge to empower his people and preserve their cultural identity.

Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary – A Hidden Biodiversity Treasure in Arunachal Pradesh

Located in the Himalayan foothills of West Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh, Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary is one of India’s most pristine and biodiverse protected areas. Spread across 218 square kilometers, this sanctuary ranges in elevation from 500 m to 3,250 m, creating a unique mosaic of ecosystems—from tropical forests to alpine habitats.

Established in 1989, it forms part of the larger Kameng Elephant Reserve and shares borders with Sessa Orchid Sanctuary and Pakhui Tiger Reserve, making it a critical wildlife corridor in Northeast India.

What makes Eaglenest truly exceptional?
– It is one of India’s top birding destinations, home to over 450 bird species, including the rare Bugun liocichla, which was first discovered here.
– The area is also rich in mammals like red pandas, clouded leopards, Asiatic black bears, and Himalayan serows.
– With very low tourist footfall (only 75 visitors recorded in 2006), it remains unspoiled and ecologically rich.

The sanctuary gets its name from the Red Eagle Division of the Indian Army, which was stationed here in the 1950s.

Eaglenest isn’t just a sanctuary—it’s a living laboratory of Himalayan biodiversity and a testament to the ecological wealth of Arunachal Pradesh.

The Morung System – Nagaland’s Ancient Classroom
Before schools and textbooks, the Nagas had Morungs — traditional youth dormitories where boys learned everything from hunting to history, from dances to duty. It was a sacred space for mentorship, cultural transmission, and community bonding.
Every tribe’s Morung was different — with carvings, skulls, and intricate symbols that told their story. Though the system has faded, its essence still echoes in Naga identity.

Shaheed Bhogeswari Phukanani – The Fierce Freedom Fighter of Assam 🇮🇳

Born around 1885 in Nagaon, Assam, Bhogeswari Phukanani was not just a mother of eight but also a fierce patriot who stood tall against British colonial rule. During the Quit India Movement in 1942, she became actively involved in protests and demonstrations.

On 20th or 21st September 1942, during a protest in Berhampur (Nagaon), British officers tried to take down the Indian national flag. Phukanani, unarmed yet fearless, resisted. A British officer shot her—making her a martyr of the freedom struggle.

Her death ignited more courage among locals and became a symbol of resistance in Assam’s history. She reminds us that age, gender, or personal responsibility can never limit one’s spirit when the nation calls. 🙏🏼✨

Remembering Bhogeswari Phukanani — the warrior mother who died for India’s freedom.
