Gadadhar Singha Personal Details
Actual name
of Gadadhar Singha is Gadapaani. He takes this Hindu Gadadhar name after when
he becomes King. His father name was Gobar Raja. He is from Tungkhungia
dynasty. The Tungkhungia dynasty was a branch of the Ahom dynasty.
Gobar was able to become king for only 20 days. Gobar king had three sons. The
eldest was named Jambur and the youngest was named Govind. Gadadhar Singha was
the middle son. Everyone considered the courage of Gadadhar Singha since
childhood. He used to go hunting on an elephant in 10-12 years of age. He was
the fearless and powerful crown prince. But at the same time loved the poor and
hated the oppressor.
At that time,
Ahom Scholar used to teach religion and history to the young men of Foidar
(Deodhai, Bailung, Mohon, etc.) but sometimes the elder officer sons had not taken
that education. Gadadhar Singha was also one of them. But he lacked neither
power nor knowledge. It is said that he used to eat 4 plates with 29 dishes
alone. But still of that, he was not slothful. His face was very attractive.
Many writers also call him a Romantic Prince.
Gadadhar Singh marital life
One
day, prince Gadadhar Singha came at the house of Lythepena, suffering from heat
and hunger. As the elder daughter of the household, Jaymati had responsibility
for his serve Gadadhar Singha, And Jaymati also serve her duty very gratefully.
He was very happy to see Jaymati's hospitality. Since then, both of them fall
in love; And with the permission of the family members, both get married. After
married, they got two very beautiful sons named Lai and Lechai. But according
to Dutiram Hazarika, Gadadhar Singha also had a daughter. Whom Chaudand (king's
soldier and undercover) assassinated with the permission of the king.
Between 1673
to 1681, a total of six kings were formed. How far people can become Tyrannical
to get the power, this 8-year history tells them well. After Debera Barbaruwa's
politics, many ups and downs, and murders, in 1679, the commander Laluksola
Barphukan with the help of Mughal made Sulikaphaa (Lora Raja) of 14 years king.
Laluksola sought help of his own benefit to that Mughal, whom Laluksola elder
brother Lachit Borphukan had dusted out. Laluksola gave Guwahati the Mughal's
hands.
Lora Raja (Child King) was just a king by name. Who didn't know
anything about how to manage the kingdom. He was does everything whatever Laluksola Barphukan said to do.
Laluksola Barphukan started ruling with his choice. Anarchy began to spread everywhere. Everybody had afraid to rebel. Loda Raja instructed the Chaudang to
kill or cripple all the young men who are worthy of becoming the king. Chaudang
started killing all the young men. That time Gadadhar Singha had helpless and leave her wife and
children in-home and run away.
Some
historians believe that Jaymati must have said Gadadhar Singha to leave home.
Because if he did not run away then he will be killed by the Chaudang. Then no
one can free the people of Assam from the atrocities of
Lalukasola. But do some historians it is also believed that Jaymati had
absconded with Gadadhar Singha by keeping both of her sons at her
father's house. And later the king's undercover caught Jaymati.
Gadadhar Singha life protected and state formation
To protect
his own life, Gadadhar Singha went silent in the Naga mountains with a Naga
disguise. There is a lot of controversy about Gadadhar Singha. During this
period, he did not stop anywhere. Always kept changing his place. Sometimes in
someone's house, sometimes in the forest.
At
that time Gadadhar Singha was living disguise in Nagapahar. Some day after, he
knows from the Naga people about the atrocities being committed on Jaymati.
He becomes restless and one day, disguise himself goes in front of the Jaymati,
who is hanging in bamboo. No matter how much the husband disguises, the wife's
eyes are worn by him. Gadadhar Singha starts saying, "Hey! Why are you
tolerating so much pain? Why doesn't you speak about her husband".Jaymati
is happy to see her husband despite the pain, but at the same time, she is
afraid that someone will recognize her husband. That's why Jaymati pretends not
to recognize him and says, "I don't know anything about my husband. What
happened to you? Who called? Why don't you go?" Jaymati started crying. No
one can say what would have been spent on them at that time. When a man loves
her wife very much, suddenly one day the Woman tied in such a way and saw blood
in every part, then imagine what would have happened to that person. But even
more terrible is that the person had no other way than to leave that woman in
that situation at that time. Because the hopes of the people of
the society were attached to him. That is why Gadadhar Singha had to go even if
he did not want. No matter how powerful
a warrior is, it also has its limitations. Jaymati kept looking at her husband.
After
that day Jaymati had been enduring tortured for 6-7
days. The extent of ruthlessness has been exceeded. And after suffering
persecution for 14 days, this great lady of Motherland Assam
sacrifice her life in 1679. Endured the atrocities for 14 days but didn't say a
single word about her husband. She also got a chance to talk to her husband but
could not talk well. Because she was afraid that no one would see her husband.
If something had happened to her husband, there was hardly anyone to save Assam
from the hands of Lalukasola. Therefore, it was necessary for the husband to be
alive. And That is why Jayamati endured all the atrocities and sacrificing her
life for her husband and for the people of the Assam.
Gadamani becomes mad after Jaymati's death.
He does not understand what to do. Fighting with Ahom was not so easy. He
needed more soldiers. But at that time Gadadhar Singha gets his brother-in-law
Bandar Barphukan, who wants to fight with Lora Raja but did not able to courage
himself to fight with Tyrannical king. It was the beginning of end tyranny. Meet with Gadadhar Singha he gets the
courage to fight. Both of them plan what to do next. They arrange everything.
Two years after the death of Jaymati, Lalapasola and Loda Raja are killed and
in 1681 Gadadhar Singha Raza is formed. And the name Ahom takes the name Suptapfaa and
the Hindu name Gadadhar Singha.
Gadadhar Singha's younger Brother Govind
Govind was no
less than Gadadhar Singha in courage and might. There was never one person to
give up in life. But an astrologer, seeing his horoscope, said that one day
this Govind Tungkhungia will become a stigma in the lineage of the Faudar. Then
these words started harassment to Gobar's mind. And one day when Govind was
small, seeing his high spirit, he order Chaudang to cut Govind head. But at the
last moment, Debera Barbaruah saved Govind's life.
Gadadhar Singha's relationship with his younger
brother was not as bad. But both had an arrogance about their strength. One day
both of them had an argument. The argument becomes very serious then they were
ready to fight. Govind took Gadadhar Singha's blessing and Gadadhar Singha also
blessed and prepared to fight. At that time everyone was watching silent chap.
Nobody had the courage to stop them both. At that time their Master came and
tries to stop them both but they do not listen to the Master. Then finding no
other cause, the Master inserted a knife in his own chest and fell between
them. both of them were blank. After few times Gadadhar Singha told his younger
brother to leave Tungkhungia State. Govind obeyed his elder brother's order and
left.
Many years passed but Govind did not return. But
one day when Gadadhar Singha was mobilizing troops with Bandar Barphukan, that
time Govind was come. Gadadhar Singha first thought that he had come to fight,
but later understood that he had come to help him. Govind came down from the
horse and kneeling down, saying, "Kakoideu (elder brother)! Still, the
total religion and dignity of Tungkhulia Fodder is not over. I have just come
from kill two detectives of the king of Lora.тАЭ Both of them hug each other and
tears fall from their eyes. Both have forgotten all the differences and become
one for the war. But time is very cruel.
