NAGAON: A commemoration programme was held on Sunday for Late Tilak Chandra Majumdar, a noted Vaishnavite scholar, researcher, and educationist. The programme was organized by Asom Shilpi Kanan, a cultural organization, at Mazumdar’s residence in Amulapatty, Nagaon.
Former minister Girindra Kumar Baruah, while addressing the gathering, said that Mazumdar was deeply devoted to Sankari culture and never deviated from the philosophy and ideals of Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankardev. Baruah added that Mazumdar, who had settled in Nagaon after migrating from Hajo’s Ramdia, had captured the hearts of the people of Nagaon through his Vaishnavite culture.
Dilip Bora, Principal of Ramanujan Junior Secondary School, said that Mazumdar had endeavoured to propagate Sankardev’s philosophy and ideals to the new generation. Bora expressed that with Mazumdar’s demise, the state had lost a true Assamese person.
Former minister Umesh Das described Mazumdar as a strong advocate of regionalism, while former MLA Dr Durlav Chamua said that Mazumdar was a dedicated nationalist who always fought for the rights of the people. Dr Chamua emphasized the importance of introducing Mazumdar’s works to the new generation.
The programme concluded with the announcement that Asom Shilpi Kanan would confer its Lifetime Achievement Award to Tilak Chandra Mazumdar posthumously. A book titled ‘Sannidhya Alok aru Aalapon’ was also ceremonially released and distributed among the attendees.
