Lachit: The Warrior
Lachit (The Warrior), is an audio-visual documentary on Lachit Barphukan, the greatest Assamese General of the Ahom dynasty. It traces the genesis of the military commander’s ancestry, his charismatic personality, physical prowess, resolute valor, his dexterous skills in diplomacy, his incredible formulations of strategies for naval warfare, and most importantly, his unwavering sense of patriotism. The documentary chronologically narrates the unfolding of events, starting from Lachit’s launching of a series of onslaughts against the invading Mughals, which starts with the battle of Alaboi and decisively ends in the battle of Saraighat, where the Mughals were vanquished.
