Origins of Tinsukia:-


When we begin with the origins, the ancient name of Tinsukia was Bangmara which was originally known as Changmai Pathar. It was the capital of Muttack Kingdom. The Bangmara city was built by King Sarbananda Singha with the help of his Minister Gopinath Barbaruah alias “Godha”. The city was built in the middle of the present Tinsukia City (near the Senairam H.S. School). As per the direction of Sarbananda Singha, Godha Baruah dug a triangular shaped pond in Bangmara which is known as "Tinikunia Pukhuri". In 1884 Dibru-Sadiya Rail line was constructed and a station was setup near the "Tinikunia Pukhuri" which was named as Tinsukia. Since then the City was popularly known as Tinsukia. The First King of Muttack Kingdom was Swargadeo Sarbananda Singha. Sarbananada Singha established his capital at Rangagarah situated in the bank of river Guijan. In 1791 A.D. he transferred his capital to Bangmara (present Tinsukia).

Rethink the present and always remember the past


Technically it is a blog; however I would rather term it as an expression of my thoughts with the help of letters. I am not trying to inform people about the uniqueness of Tinsukia district of Assam. I am trying to urge people to rethink on their present responsibilities towards the place which are hindered due to various professional and personal commitments. It is just a thought process and criticisms and feedback's are very important at any juncture.
