Geography is the stage on which the drama of history is enacted. Geography is one of the eyes of the beautiful maiden, history, the other eye being chronology. Michelet, one of the outstanding scholars, is of the opinion that, „without a geographical basis, the people, the makers of history, seek to be walking on air.” In the light of this perspective, our state Assam has recently lost two stalwart scholars in the context of history and geography. One is Professor Amalendu Guha(1924-2015) and other is Professor Mahammad Taher(1931-2015). Needless to say, Professor Guha was an eminent historian who has written on topics ranging from Medieval Assam to the 20th century Afghanistan and from the saga of the early Parsi capitalists to the tribal and non-tribal unrest in post-colonial North-East India. He was trained in Economics and was a historian inclined towards Marxism.Guha obtained Ph.D. in 1963 from Indian School of International Studies, New Delhi. He was associated as a teacher and researcher at Darrang College, Tezpur, the Gokhle Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune and the Delhi School of Economics. He was the Professor of history at the Centre for Studies and in Social Science, Calcutta(Kolkata). He was able to be the member of Indian Council of Social Science Research and Indian Council of historical Research. In addition to, Professor Guha presided over the annual history session of the Assam Sahitya Sabha at Golaghat in 1978, North-East India history Association in 1981 and modern history section of Burdwan session of the Indian History congress in 1983. Among the ever scholarly writings,Guha‟s ‘Planter-Raj to Swaraj :Freedom Struggle and Electoral Politics in Assam(1826-1947) is a pioneering work of its own kind. The book goes beyond the limits of its title to probe deep into details not only of the polity but also the economy and society of colonial Assam and, while doing so, integrates the story at every step with its over-all all India context. In his foreword about this book, the eminent Indian historian and the then Chairman of the ICHR, Professor R.S. Sharma wrote in such a way, “Professor Guha has not only presented a detailed account of the evolution of the provincial legislature of Assam in the context of general political developments in the province, but has also provided valuable background for an understanding of the colonial socio-economic structure. He has
