-2- MAP OF CACHAR DISTRICT -3- HISTORY OF CACHAR DISTRICT One of the largest districts of Assam, Cachar is bounded on the north by Barail and Jaintia Hills, south by Mizoram, on east by Hailakandi and Karimganj, covering an area of 3786 Sq. Km. and having a population of 17,36,319 (2011 Census). The district has rich history dating back to ancient Kachari Kingdom. In fact, many have to say that present name Cachar is said to have been derived from the word Kachari. Some others say name Cachar is derived from Kachar which means stretch of land at mountain foot hills. The Kachari Kingdom: The Kachari Kingdom came to be established at Khaspur, some 2 Kms from present Silchar in 1706 when the Kachari King Tamradhoja shifted upon i.e. being invaded by the Ahom King, Swargardev Rudra Singha. The Kachari king built brick temples and palaces which still stand today. The last of the Kachari King, Raja Gobind Raja who was childless was assassinated by his own people on April 24, 1830. Upon his death, his territory lapsed to the British under terms signed in 1826. T. Fisher was given the charge of the area. In 1830, headquarter was established at Dudhpatil and later to Silchar, which was then a Military Centre. Cachar and Independence Movement: In the freedom struggle for independence, Cachar played a major role with leaders like Kamini Kumar Chanda, his son Arun Kumar Chanda, Abdul Matlab Mazumder, Biplabi Ullas Kar Laskar, leading the front for such cause and public support. In fact, Mahatma Gandhi also paid visit to Cachar district igniting passion for freedom. Earlier too, the sepoys had raised the banner of revolt at Malugarh. -4- Part of India: With independence knocking at the doors, the demand for separate state for Pakistan gathered momentum. But, leaders like Fakruddin Ahmed sealed the ambitions of Muslim League through Jamat Ulema-e- Hind and finally winning elections in 1946. Again on the eve of partition, when question of partition came up, Abdul Matlib Mazumder along with Basanta Kumar Das organized Assam Nationalist Muslims’ Convention at Silchar and another meeting on 8th June’ 1947. Lateron, Abdul Matlib Mazumder pleaded before the Radcliffe Commission that sylhet remain with India. Such efforts paid dividends as part of sylhet remained with Assam. -5- CACHAR AT A GLANCE -6- LIST OF NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS IN RESPECT OF CACHAR DISTRICT Name of the Schemes 1) CONSTRUCTION OF BANGA BHAWAN AT SADARGHAT, SILCHAR.

The NH-6 is the surface link that connects this region with the rest of the country. The road remains cut off frequently due to landslides and poor road condition at Sonapur and other areas during the rainy season, which is a chronic problem of this region. The District Administration is often facing agitation from the public for detoriated road condition of NH-6 (Silchar-Kalain Road). Several mishaps claiming numerous lives have occurred at intervals. So, National Highway No. 6 needs attention on road conditions, landslides (during rainy season). Proper enforcement of law is necessary to tackle movement of overloaded vehicles, traffic jams in this accident prone area to prevent further carnage.

This Hill is situated almost 50 Kms away from Silchar Town. Due to the poor communication system to the hill top, which has to be climbed on foot, people often find it difficult to visit the holy spot. Hence, the allocation of budget is required for its all round development as it is a significant pilgrimage place of this region. Proposal for ropeway has also been considered, for which appropriate technical support and adequate fund may be allocated. This will also augment the development of the place as a tourist spot.

INTRODUCTION Cultural tourism has a special place in India because of its past civilisation. Among the various motivating factors governing travel in India, cultural tourism is undoubtedly the most important. For any foreigner, a visit to India must have a profound cultural impact and in its broader sense, tourism in India involves quite a large content of cultural content. It also plays a major role in increasing national as well as international good will and understanding. Thousands of archaeological and historical movements scattered throughout the country provide opportunites to learn about the ancient history and culture. India has been abundantly rich in its cultural heritage. Indian arts and crafts, music and dance, fairs and festivals, agriculture and forestry, astronomy and astrology, trade and transport, recreation and communication, monumental heritage, fauna and flora in wildlife and religion play a vital role in this type of tourism. Thus, it can be very well said that there remains a lot of potential for the progress of cultural tourism in India. Culturally, North East represents the Indian ethos of „unity in diversity‟ and „diversity in unity‟. It is a mini India where diverse ethnic and cultural groups of Aryans, Dravidians, Indo-Burmese, Indo Tibetan and other races have lived together since time immemorial.

Mehbubur Rahman Choudhury Ph.D Research Scholar, University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya Dr. Sahab Uddin Ahmed Associate Professor, History, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam Abstract The Barak Valley of Assam consists of three districts, viz. Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj situated between Longitude 92.15” and 93.15” East and Latitude 24.8” and 25.8” North and covering an area of 6,941.2 square Kilometres, this Indian portion of the valley is bounded on the north by the North Cachar Hills District of Assam and the Jaintia Hills District of Meghalaya, on the east by Manipur, on the south by Mizoram and on the west by Tripura and the Sylhet District of Bangladesh. These three districts in Assam, however, together form the Indian part of a Valley, the larger portion of which is now in Bangladesh. The valley was transferred to Assam from Bengal in 1874 and the Bangladesh part was separated by the partition of India in 1947. The social and polity formation processes in the Barak Surma Valley in the Pre-Colonial period were influenced by these geo-graphical, historical and sociological factors. On the one hand, it was an outlying area of the Bengal plains and on the other hand, it was flanked by the hill tribal regions.

    Jatinga: the Ornithologists’ Paradise Abstract the Village Jatinga Is Situated on the Borail Hills Close to Its Highest Peak (Hempantat) Which Is 6,000 Ft

    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/67980 VOL-I* ISSUE- VIII* November- 2016 E: ISSN NO.: 2455-0817 Remarking An Analisation Jatinga: The Ornithologists’ Paradise Abstract The village Jatinga is situated on the Borail Hills close to its highest peak (Hempantat) which is 6,000 ft. above the sea level and is surrounded by different ranges of the Borail Hills from all sides except a small gap in one side, i.e., towards south- west from the village end. The mysterious behavior of the birds flying over Jatinga from September to November has made this beautiful tiny place famous all over the world. The phenomenon which has attracted Ornithologists world over is suspected suicide committed by birds. The first mention of this mystery is found in the Wild Life of India (1957) by the British tea planters and Ornithologist E.P.Gee. The Zoological Survey of India visited Jatinga during the monsoon months of 1977 and got wide publicity from leading ornithologists in Europe, U.S.A and Japan. The unusual behavior of the birds seems to occur due to the peculiar weather conditions at Jatinga. Studies also reveal that the flight of water birds to Jatinga may be attributed to heavy rains and floods and submergence of their natural Harun Rashid Laskar habitat in the surrounding areas. Assistant Professor, Keywords: Jatinga, Dima Hasao, Assam, Borail Range, Mystery, Deptt.of Economics, Phenomenon, Birds, Monsoon. Haflong Govt. College, Introduction Haflong, Assam Just 9 Kilometers from Haflong, the district headquarter of Dima Hasao district of Assam, in the east there stands a tiny picturesque village called Jatinga on a spur of the Haflong ridge which itself is an offshoot of the main ridge of the Borail range.

Breathtaking flora and fauna, heritage drawn from the ages and the presence of a large number of diverse groups makes this place a treasure grove. If culture represents the entire gamut of relationships which human beings share with themselves as well as with nature, the built environment, folk life and artistic activity, the north-east is a ‘cultural and biodiversity hotspot’, whose immense potential is beginning to be recognised. There is need for greater awareness and sensitisation here, especially among the young. In this respect, the National Knowledge Commission believes that the task of connecting with the north-east requires a multi-pronged approach, where socio-economic development must accompany multi-cultural understanding.
