Nazira, June 20: The Nazira Hangabadik Mancha commemorated Rabha Divas on June 20 with a solemn and vibrant program held at Gandhi Maidan, Nazira. Rabha Divas is observed across Assam to mark the death anniversary of legendary cultural icon Bishnu Prasad Rabha, who passed away on this day in 1969.

The event commenced with floral tributes and the lighting of candles at the bust of Vishnu Prasad Rabha. Dr. Kukil Kumar Gogoi, Superintendent of Hiteshwar Saikia Civil Hospital in Nazira and a noted dramatist and actor, paid his respects by offering floral tributes and lighting candles at the memorial.

The celebration was graced by several distinguished personalities including Dr. Barnali Dutta, Information and Public Relations Officer of Nazira Co-District, and Syed Khairul Hasan, advisor to the Nazira Hangabadik Mancha. A public meeting followed the tribute ceremony, jointly presided over by Mintu Chitrakar, President of Nazira Hangabadik Mancha, and Dhilip Hazarika, Vice-President.

During the meeting, Dr. Kukil Kumar Gogoi delivered a keynote address, highlighting the enduring legacy of Vishnu Prasad Rabha. He shared rare insights and personal anecdotes about Rabha’s ideals and sacrifices, many of which he had learned through conversations with Rabha’s wife, Mohini Rabha.

The event also featured performances and reflections by notable attendees including Dr. Barnali Dutta, Dhilip Das—a celebrated radio artist from Nazira, journalist Jadumoni Hazarika, and singer Jaya Konwar, who performed soulful Rabha Sangeet numbers.

Among other eminent guests were Bhaben Das, Officer-in-Charge of Nazira Police Station; Prashant Barthaakur, renowned social worker; Tapan Kalita, cultural activist; Sunil Das, Central Organizing Secretary of the Scheduled Caste Youth Student Council; and Arup Das and Ditul Das, President and Vice-President of the Nazira District Committee of the Scheduled Caste Council. Also present were Jyandevi Paw and Dipanjali Sharma, Headmistress and teacher respectively of Assam Company Boys Primary School.

The program served as a heartfelt tribute to Bishnu Prasad Rabha’s lasting impact on Assam’s cultural and social fabric, uniting community members in remembrance and reflection.
