Patharighat, previously known as Patharughat, is a place in Assam, India. It is one of the revenue circles in Darrang district. The place is famous for the event of 1894, popularly known as Patharughatar Ran (Battle of Patharughat). On 28 January 1894 some 140 peasants were killed here in an unprovoked police firing while protesting against enhanced revenue. A large number of people were injured. Patharighat is known as Assam's Jallianwala Bagh.Since 2000, the army has been paying homage to the martyrs on 29 January every year and has also set up martyrs' column in memory of the 140 peasants.
The history of Patharighat Memorial will definitely add pride to each and every Indian. The massacre of peasants who were protesting against the exorbitant taxes by the British typically shows the arrogance of the Britain Army. We shoulld remember and salute the Patriotic men who left us in 1859.(not sure) and many injured. Jai Hind
One of the best places to revisit our glorious history. The soil of the peasants who protested and sacrificed their lives in the hands of the colonial forces. It has a memorial (Swaheed Stambh) and surrounding it a small garden and a hall (Swaheed Bhawan). Recently two recreational halls have been inaugurated which will aid in youth development. The night view of the memorial is although not quite pleasing as there is not enough lights in it. One should visit here at least once in their lifetime if they are interested in knowing their brave and glorious past.
Patharighat, previously known as Patharughat, is a place in Assam, India. It is one of the revenue circles in Darrang district. The place is famous for the event of 1894, popularly known as Patharughatar Ran (Battle of Patharughat). After the British annexation of Assam in 1826, surveys of the vast lands of the state began. On the basis of such surveys, the British began to impose land taxes, reportedly by 70-80 per cent, much to the resentment of the farmers, who previously paid taxes in-kind or provided service in lieu of cash. The British authorities began to view the peasant protests and gatherings as grounds for sedition. On 28 January 1894 tempers flared as the authorities refused to listen to further grievances. A police lathi charge occurred followed by an open firing which left 15 peasants killed and 37 wounded according to official Raj records or 140 killed according to unofficial sources. Patharighat is known as Assam's Jallianwala Bagh. Since 2000, the army has been paying homage to the martyrs on 29 January every year and has also set up martyrs' column in memory of those killed.
