The priceless contribution of this great soul to unify the various communities to build the greater Assamese society remains the cornerstone of our identity,” said Mr Sonowal, who was Assam Chief Minister before his BJP colleague Himanta Biswa Sarma took over.”…Under his stewardship, the Assamese society worked to become atmanirbhar (self-reliant) as it started manufacturing various weapons, tools, goods that made the society an invincible military power. This strategic genius empowered us to regularly thwart any foreign invasion including the multiple ones by the Mughals,” Mr Sonowal said.Swargadeo Chaolung Sukapha established the Ahom kingdom in the 13th century and unified the land, building a Greater Assam.
