First President of Undivided India
Late Lakhyeswar Barua.
Born 1894, Died 30 November 1990.
Studied science graduation at Cotton College in
Gauhati, then left his studies halfway
and joined the freedom movement at the call of the Mahatma. Inspired by Ghadhiji’s
ideals and joined the freedom movement while doing graduation.
The late Lakhyeswar Baruah not only had the courage to stand up
against the British colonial rule, but also declared the tiny Charigaon mouza
as an independent nation and himself as its President.
In 1921 he was jailed in Jorhat and had to spend 14 months
behind bars before he was released. During Gandhi’s Swaraj Movement in 1942, he
declared the Charigaon area as a sovereign independent state and made
himself as its first President and formed a seven member Presidential
Cabinet.He made this historic
announcement at a heavily attended public meeting at Rebakanta Baruah Public High School near
Charigaon, about four kilometres from the Jorhat town on 11 th of August, 1943.
The self-proclaimed "first President" Lakhyeswar
Barua's Cabinet included Jagat Chandra Saikia, as the Minister for 'Home
Department',Golap chandra Dutta - 'Education', Debicharan Borbora-
'Defence',Sonaram Saikia-'Public Works',Krishnaprasad Saikia-'Co-operatives' and
J Bordoloi , the Minister for 'Revenue' At such a turn of event, the
British Administration was taken aback. The powerful British administration
however took quick action and overpowered him. His 'Ministers' went
underground later while Lakhyeswar Barua was sent to the jail.
This unique part of our freedom struggle has been noted
by Union Minister Shri Sharad Pawar in
his book "Contemporary Political Leadership". "Quit India
Movement", by Prof. Anil Kumar Sharma also takes note of this happening.
Once, President of India late Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed
addressing a public meeting at the premises of the Assam Agriculture
University. He noticed Lakhyeswar Barua
sitting at a far corner of the meeting hall . President . Fakhruddin Ahmed
called him to the dais stating that he was the 'First real President' and
should sit at the dais with due honour. There is little wonder that his own
people acknowledge him as the “first President of the Independent Charigaon
mouza” in Jorhat district of Assam.
Former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi surprised the
villagers of Charigaon when he visited his house in 1988.
