Over the centuries, Assam witnessed many selfless heroes. The book Great Persons of Assam presents life sketches of twenty eight all time great persons from Assam history. These men and women spanning several centuries have shaped the literature and culture of Assam, integrated people, and showed light to the nation in times of crises. I have very carefully selected the names of these great persons on criteria like originality, sacrifice, ability to work under adverse situations etc. These twenty eight persons are such giants who have stood tall among others. Without them the Assamese society would have been poorer. They enriched the Assamese society with their rich contributions and made the earth a better place to live in. They came from a wide spectrum in the society. The twenty eight all time great includes saint, artist, litterateur, general, king, revolutionary, social reformer and so on. Their contributions to diverse disciplines make interesting reading. Each of them left indelible mark on the Assamese society with own work. It is a thanks-giving exercise. The young generation would be greatly benefitted by the knowledge of such persons, who created history. So I have dedicated the book to the young generation. Every biography in this research-based book is short and compact, suitable for any reference purpose.
