Dheikajuli Incident

  • Dhekiajuli was home to possibly the youngest martyr of the Indian freedom struggle.
  • On September 20, 1942, as part of the Quit India movement, processions of freedom fighters marched to various police stations across several towns in Assam.
  • These squads, which were known as ‘MrityuBahini’, or death squads, had wide participation — including women and children — and set out to unfurl the tricolour atop police stations, seen as symbols of colonial power.
  • he British administration came down heavily on them. In Gohpur, 17-year-old KanaklataBarua and others fell to bullets.
  • And in Dhekiajuli, at least 15 people were shot dead, three of them women, including the 12-year-old TileswariBarua.
  • Dhekiajuli town in Sonitpur district observes September 20 as Martyrs’ Day, but outside the town few know of Tileswari who would have been 87 years old today.
