Bhimbor Deori
Bhimbor Deori (16 May 1903 – 30 November 1947) was an Indian freedom fighter and a lawyer from the state of Assam.
Deori was one of the main architects of the “Khasi Darbar Hall Resolutions” created on 21–23 March 1945 where indigenous leaders of different ethnic identities resolved resolutions to restore their independent homelands against Indian occupation.
His vision was that tribes should have the essence of freedom and independence. His vision was attuned to marginalized communities.
He helped found the General Secretary of Assam Tribal League in 1933. He stated that the government was not justified in stopping the remission of land revenue. He worked to ensure that indigenous Assamese people be allotted land pattas. He complained on behalf of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to members into the general dining halls of universities on June 18, 1941, while criticizing improper mass literacy campaigns during the Assam Legislative Council budget session on 9 to 13 March 1943.
Under the leadership of Bhimbor Deori and indigenous leaders, Assam (then northeast India) was included in independent India.
