Not just battle, heartbeat of our freedom: CM Sarma’s tribute to Ahom martyrsGuwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday paid tribute to the martyrs of the historic Alaboi Ron, describing their sacrifice as one of the defining chapters in the state’s history and a symbol of unwavering courage against foreign aggression. Alaboi Ron was not just a battle; it is the heartbeat of our freedom. The Battle of Alaboi, fought on the plains near present-day Guwahati, occupies a significant place in Assam’s military history. Despite the setback, historians consider the sacrifice at Alaboi as a turning point that strengthened the Ahom resolve to resist the Mughal advance. Every year, the anniversary of Alaboi Ron is observed in Assam to honour the thousands of warriors who sacrificed their lives in defence of the state.
