Answer:
As per the history of Assamese literature, probably the earliest text in a language that is incontestably Assamese is the Prahlada Charitra of the late 13th-century poet Hema Saraswati. Written in a heavily Sanskritized style, it tells the story, from the Vishnu-Purana, of how the mythical prince Prahlada’s faith in Vishnu saved him from destruction and restored the moral order. The first great Assamese poet was Madhava Kandali (14th century), who made the earliest translation of the Sanskrit Ramayana and wrote Devajit, a narrative on Krishna. The bhakti movement brought a great literary upsurge. The most famous Assamese poet of that period was Shankaradeva (1449–1568), whose many works of poetry and devotion are still read today and who inspired such poets as Madhavadeva (1489–1596) to write lyrics of great beauty and many more that followed thereon. Some pieces o
f evidence also note that several poets were inspired by Western literature. While the list of great poets from the region seems to be endless, today on World Poetry Day, let’s have a look at a few that are known for their revolutionary contributions.
Hemchandra Goswami
Writer, poet, historian, teacher and linguist from Assam in the early part of modern Assamese literature, Hemchandra Goswami was the fourth president of the Asom Sahitya Sabha in 1920 held at Tezpur and he retired as Extra Assistant Commissioner in the British Assam. Goswami published the first Assamese dictionary, Hemkosh by Hemchandra Barua, with the help of Colonel Gordon in 1900. Some of his other works include Asamiya Sahityar Chaneki, Phular Saki (The Bunch of Flowers), which contains the first sonnet in Assamese — Priyatamar Sithi (A letter from the beloved), Kako Aru Hiya Nibilao, among others. ‘Katha Gita’ (Gita in Prose) of Bhattadev was edited by him in 1918, which contains the first sonnet in Assamese — Priyatamar Sithi.
