Kokheswar Bora

Com. Kokheswar Bora was born on the 13th of December, 1966. He was murdered by the AASU-AAGSP hoodlums on the 19th of February, 1983. He was to appear in the coming HSLC examinations at the time of his death. He was a resident of Naharani Goan, Chachani, Dibrugarh district, Assam. His parents were Sri Mohiram Bora and Mrs. Bagitara Bora. Com Kokheswar Bora was initially an activist of the AASU. But after seeing the fascist-activities of the AASU and knowing their true colour, he left their organisation and joined SFI in 1981. Thereafter Com Bora tried hard to build SFI in Dighalibil High School and its nearby areas. Com Bora became an active organizer of the SFI. Soon SFI grew into a major force in that area and this was indigestible to the AASU. Frustrated and infuriated, AASU goons gunned for his blood from the day elections were announced. They attacked Com Bora with iron-rods and killed him brutally. Not satisfied with that, they threw his dead body into the Dihing River. The local people and the police recovered the body from the river much later, on 25th February.
