    Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee Memorial Oration

    AIR MARSHAL SUBROTO MUKERJEE MEMORIAL ORATION Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee, OBE Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee OBE (05 Mar 1911- 08 Nov 1960) lived a life of determination, dedication and total commitment to the cause of the service that he guided from its inception until its transformation into the Air Arm of independent India. In the early 1930’s, when the British government in India could no longer ignore the growing demands of the Indian people for greater representation in the higher ranks of the defence services, it grudgingly began the process of ‘Indianisation’ of the services. As a result, the Indian Air Force (IAF) came into being on 08 October 1932. While the older services were marked for partial Indianisation, the IAF became the first truly Indian service, as only Indians could be granted commission or enrolled in its ranks. In those early days, a career in the Air Force was an uncharted path for Indians, made all the more difficult by the prevailing discriminatory and obstructive mindset of the majority of the British in India who were extremely skeptical of the ability of the ‘natives’ to fly military aeroplanes. Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee was one of the six Indians selected for training as pilots at the RAF College, Cranwell. The date of commission of this small pioneering band coincided with the date of formation of the Indian Air Force. In July 1938, he was put in command of 'B' Flight of the No.1 IAF Squadron in the rank of Flying Officer. He became the first Indian Officer to command a Squadron when he took over No.1 on 16 March 1939.

    Class - VII Brief Introduction to Formation of Landforms Assam, located in tropical latitudes (24N˚ to 28N)˚ and eastern longitude (895˚ ’ E - 961˚’ E), is the most populous state in the North-east India. It is surrounded on three sides by hills and mountains. The river Brahmaputra and Barak flows in the north and south respectively. Assam is diverse in physical features and the major physiographical components are the senile plateau of Karbi-Anglong, representing a part of peninsular India, North Cachar hills which display the most youthful and highly differentiated relief features and the Brahmaputra and Barak plains present aggradational surfaces. Landmasses from Archaean to Tertiary origin bear the evidences of the evolutionary history of the earth in Assam and North-East India. The Karbi plateau is a part of Old-Gondwana land of more than 600 million years, the folded hills of North-Cachar belongs to tertiary period and the alluviums are of Quaternary Period. The North-Eastern region of India including Assam is situated in the merging zone of two Tectonic plates, namely the Indo-Australian and Euro-Asian plates. So the entire region is seismically very active. Physiographical Divisions of Assam On the basis of physical setup, Assam can be divided into three physiographical units: 1) The Brahmaputra valley or Assam valley 2) The Barak plain or Surma Valley 3) The hilly areas of Karbi-Anglong and North- Cachar Hill Districts Fig1.1: Physiographic Divisions of Assam. 40 The Brahmaputra Valley The most prominent physical feature in Assam is the Brahmaputra valley. This plain is surrounded by Bhutan and the Arunachal Himalayas in the north, Patkai Bum and Arunachal Hills in the east and Naga Hills, Karbi Plateau in the south.
