Rise of Brahma Dharma and its Contribution on Bodo People: A Descriptive Study

Author(s) Dr. Tapan Chandra Kalita
Country India
Abstract Bodo people are the largest plain tribes of the state of Assam, India. They have a rich cultural history and fought for identity for a long time. The paper is a part how the Bodo people under able leadership of some distinguished personality like Guru Kalicharan Brahma strive for the social betterment of the Bodo people who are designated as Scheduled Tribe (Plain) in Assam. On the eve of the 20th century, there was chaos and confusion in the traditional religion among the Bodo people as it has lost the original spirit of spirituality but none came forward to rescue the Bodo society by reforming the evil practices. Being enlightened on Vedic scriptures Kalicharan Brahma preached Brahma religion in the entire Parbat Jowar area of present Dhubri district, and in villages like Adabari, Auabari, Banargaon, Khasibari of Kokrajhar district and also in the village like Roumari, Khagrabari, Bamungaon, Dangaigaon, etc. of present Bongaigaon district and gradually spread to many other areas.
The contribution of the Brahma Dharma movement was multi-dimensional. It was the Brahma Dharma movement under the able leadership of Guru Kalicharan Brahma which provided the much needed self-confidence which is essential for a social group. It had not only brought social reformist agenda but also undertook economic, political as well.
Brahma Dharma movement was more than a religious movement. The movement encompasses economic, political, educational and socio-cultural interest of the Bodo people. The contribution of Guru Kalicharan Brahma to Indian society in general and to the Bodo in particular in regard to Brahma Dharma was very crucial in contemporary national and regional movement perspectives.
