Assam Builds Alabai Memorial to Honor Ahom Martyrs
The government is building a memorial to remember 10,000 soldiers from a long-ago battle in Assam.
These soldiers fought against the Mughals.
The memorial will be at Alaboi and have a big sword statue.
The battle was an important part of Assam’s history because the Ahoms defended the area against the Mughals.
The memorial is to honor the soldiers.
Construction of the Alabai Memorial to honor Ahom martyrs is underway.
The memorial will commemorate 10,000 Ahom soldiers who died in the Battle of Alabai.
The battle took place on August 5, 1669, against Mughal forces.
