Tipam's BHADOI
(a small but imperative chapter of Ahom's History)




“ Rohat Rohdoi Tipamar Bhadoi
Salagurir Aghoni bai…
Tiniu’re dingit dhari tiniu-a kandile
Hamandhat aku-a nai…………. “




……………………..In the reign of the Ahom King Sulikfa or Loraroja; Godapani, a royal prince from Tungkhangia dynasty escaping in disguised form just to bring a revolution against that immature, cruel, undesirable & undeserving king . One day when the prince was in the way to Namchang from Joypore he was about to captured by the royal military of Loraroja. It was a very tough situation to him : he used his presence of mind and had a better escape; he told his problem after giving his intro to three unknown Lady Shop – keepers who were coming to the market place for selling their goods and were taking rest under the shade of a tree as they felt tired after coming from three different remote places(even they didn't know each other). They were ‘ROHDOI’ of RAHANPATHER , ‘BHADOI’ of TIPAM and ‘AGHONI’ of SALAGURI . They quickly acted accordingly Godapani had instructed them to do : They cover Godapani’s whole body by their body-cloths as Godpani also quickly acted as a dead-person by laying on the ground; all the three were crying loudly and perfectly saying their husband had gone to the Heaven ,leaving them alone and how could they live after him. By this technique they were able to hide Langi Godapani among them and the kings personnel never came to know that the body laying was of Langi Godapani's .
After a few struggle and fight finally Godapani had came to power and announced reward to all the three. Also he placed three towns in the name of the three Lady Shop – Keeper to show his ultimate gratitude to them. Thus, Bhadoi Nagar was established and this historical place is now known as Bhadoi Panchali because it connected five road at the centre; panch= five, ali=road, therefore Panchali. This Junction of five roads leading to Duliajan in the west, Digboi in the north-east; Bhadoi Nagar ->Chapatoli ->phekala-> Soraipung in the east; Santi T.E. -> Goriabam->hills of Dhekiajuli and Dhekiajuli T.E. and Tipam(earlier it was a sub kingdom of Ahom's, a hilly place)) in the south and NEEPCO, Bakuloni Chariali in the north respectively.
This historical help although seemed to be very small but it is for which he, Godapani could able to escape in Nagapahar and also able to unite his supporters to form his brigades to fight against the king's army. He defeated that immature king and killed his hypocrite adviser, the greedy minister Laluksola Borphukan ............... just because of love of the people of his kingdom loved him a lot, helped him to enjoy that victory. That was the victory of the people, truth against devil.
