ABSTRACT
The rise of Assamese Travel literature has started with Gunabhiram Boruah’s
‘Saumar Bhraman’. After that ‘Bilatar Sithi’ written by Jnanadabhiram Boruah
has given a new light to the Assamese Travel literature. It has published in the
book form in the year 1939. Later, some well known personalities like – Hem
Boruah, Prafulla Dutta Goswami, Birinci kumar Boruah, Chandra Prasad Saikia,
Amalendu Guha has contributed to Assamese Travel literature. But, it must be
said that Assamese Travel literature is not very strong as other genres of
literature. Recently, so many new and old writer started contributing for
Assamese Travel literature in the late 20th century. But a huge part of the
literature is about USA only. Presently, it is known that the ratio of published
travelogue is very high. In this prepared research work, an attempt is made to
study the development of Assamese Travel literature and its manner.
Keywords: Assamese Travel Literature, Prose, post independence, Genres
I. INTRODUCTION
Travel Literature is a part of prose literature. Like other genres of literature,
travel literature also plays an important role in the development of Assamese
Literature. Simply, a travelogue is a written from of experiences that a traveler
experienced while travelling places. Only the information’s does not smoothen a
travelogue. Equally the travelogue should be fulfilled with literary norms. A
travelogue reflects the direct experiences of a traveler.
So, a reader can travel around within his mind through the
help of a travelogue. In a travelogue, socio-economic,
political and cultural sides of places is also found.
Sometimes, a travelogue can be treated as a writ of a place.
Minute Observation, fine use of languageand livelynarrative
makes a travelogue very attractive. Assamese travel
literature has its own history. In the post independence era,
Assamese travel literature was in its grass root stage only
and now it has been gradually developing to its best. An
attempt is made to establish an introductory description
about Assamese travel literature. In other words, hereitwill
be tried to find out the manner of Assamese travel literature.
II. Travel Literature: An Introductory Note
Since the birth of human civilization, traveling has always
been a human desire. In ancient times, menused totravelfor
searching food. With the development of human civilization
people acquired the ability to record and preserve their
experiences in written form. And now travelogue literature
is developing like other genres of literature.
People do not travel only for satisfying their curiosity.
Traveling makes an individual more richer with new
experiences. It also helps people to understand the socio-
cultural structure of places. So, it must be said that a
travelogue is a merge of information’s, experiences and the
mental satisfaction of a traveler.
According toHemanta KumarBharali,“Travelingcountriesis
not possible for all. People who wish to travel can enjoy
travelogues. But there is a fact that the writer should be
successful in fulfilling the tasteofreaders. Sothat,travelogue
literature should give the readers not onlytheinformation’s,
but also the taste of good literature.’’ (Asomkosh, p. 343)
Travelogue can be said as realistic experience centred and
descriptive. Equally, it expresses the self-definition and
observation of the author. Travelliteraturehelpsthereaders
to achieve knowledge without going to travel. According to
Ranjan Bhattacharya, “ The experience will getits homour of
a literature when it is established as an art expressing the
data and information in an artistic way.” (Borah, Manjula
(Ed.): Bhasha Sahitya Barnali, p. 100-101)
III. Development of Assamese Travel literature :
To name an ancient Travel story, we can take Ram Mishra’s
‘brindaban Charit’. It was published in the reign of king
Jaydhwajj Singha (1645-63). Another important travelogue
is ‘Tripura Buranji’ written in 1724. (Jayanta kumar Borah,
Sahityar Nana dix, p. 176)
In real sense, Assamese Travel literaturestartsitsfirstphase
of development in 19th century, Among all the pioneers of
Assamese Travel literature, Gunabhiram Boruah was the
first we started with his writing of ‘Saumar Bhraman’. After
travelling to Saumarpeeth, Gunabhiram Boruah wrote this
travelogue. So, it is an inter-country travelogue. Ananda
Chandra Agarwal, a renowned educationist wrote a
travelogue named ‘Brahmajatrir Diary’ about his Burma
travel in the year of 1839.
In the post independence era, AssameseTravel literature got
a rapid development. Because as time flies, changes come to
people’s lives and professions. People started going abroad

for higher studiesand otherreasonsalso. Post-independence
travelogue literature can be divided into two parts as Inter-
country travelogue and outer country travelogue. (Jugendra
Narayan Bhuyan, chief editor, Biswa kosh 3rd series, p. 705)
But in the post-independenceera,onlyouter-countryrelated

became quite popular though his travelogue ‘Sagar Dekhisa’
(Have you Seen the Sea), ‘RangaKarabirFul’(TheredFlower
Karabi), ‘Israel’ and ‘Mekong noi dekhilu’ (I have seen the
river Mekong). These travelogues are theresultofhis tour to
many countries at different times. His ‘Sagar Dekhisa’ is
regarded as the first Assamese travelogue written about
travelling through America. Some other travelogues related
to America are – Birinci Kumar Boruah’s Professor Boruahr

Biswas’s ‘China sai Ahilu’ (Back from China), and ‘Akou chin
sai ahilu’ (Again came from China), Birendra kumar
Bhattacharya’s ‘ Chinat ki Dekhilu’ (What I have seen in

experiences of Japan tour also got published. Among these,
Nirmal Prabha Bordoloi’s ‘Cherry fular dex Japan’ ( In the
country of Cherry Flower), Mahendra Borah’s ‘Surjya Utha
dex’ (Country where Sun rises) and Jayanti Chutia’s ‘Haiku

It is impossible to travel all over the globe for anyone. So,
through the help of travelogues we can enjoy the taste of
travelling.
IV. Conclusion:
In the present scenario, it is seen that Assamese Travel
literature has achieved a tremendous development.
Globalisation and the facilities of tourism is opening many
doors for travel. We must say that all the travelogues do not
fulfill the literary norms. But, through thehelpof thesetravel
literature, readers can get an opportunity to understand the
socio-cultural status and thoughts of different countries. It
can be said that travel literature has made a known identity
amongst all the genres of literature. Individualistic,
translated, children friendly travelogues is helping in the
speedy development of prose literature.Finallyitcan besaid
that travel literature has became an integral part of popular
contemporary literature.

This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0) (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by/4.0) ABSTRACT The rise of Assamese Travel literature has started with Gunabhiram Boruah’s ‘Saumar Bhraman’. After that ‘Bilatar Sithi’ written by Jnanadabhiram Boruah has given a new light to the Assamese Travel literature. It has published in the book form in the year 1939. Later, some well known personalities like – Hem Boruah, Prafulla Dutta Goswami, Birinci kumar Boruah, Chandra Prasad Saikia, Amalendu Guha has contributed to Assamese Travel literature. But, it must be said that Assamese Travel literature is not very strong as other genres of literature. Recently, so many new and old writer started contributing for Assamese Travel literature in the late 20th century. But a huge part of the literature is about USA only. Presently, it is known that the ratio of published travelogue is very high. In this prepared research work, an attempt is made to study the development of Assamese Travel literature and its manner. Keywords: Assamese Travel Literature, Prose, post independence, Genres I. INTRODUCTION Travel Literature is a part of prose literature. Like other genres of literature, travel literature also plays an important role in the development of Assamese Literature. Simply, a travelogue is a written from of experiences that a traveler experienced while travelling places. Only the information’s does not smoothen a travelogue. Equally the travelogue should be fulfilled with literary norms. A travelogue reflects the direct experiences of a traveler. So, a reader can travel around within his mind through the help of a travelogue. In a travelogue, socio-economic, political and cultural sides of places is also found. Sometimes, a travelogue can be treated as a writ of a place. Minute Observation, fine use of languageand livelynarrative makes a travelogue very attractive. Assamese travel literature has its own history. In the post independence era, Assamese travel literature was in its grass root stage only and now it has been gradually developing to its best. An attempt is made to establish an introductory description about Assamese travel literature. In other words, hereitwill be tried to find out the manner of Assamese travel literature. II. Travel Literature: An Introductory Note Since the birth of human civilization, traveling has always been a human desire. In ancient times, menused totravelfor searching food. With the development of human civilization people acquired the ability to record and preserve their experiences in written form. And now travelogue literature is developing like other genres of literature. People do not travel only for satisfying their curiosity. Traveling makes an individual more richer with new experiences. It also helps people to understand the socio- cultural structure of places. So, it must be said that a travelogue is a merge of information’s, experiences and the mental satisfaction of a traveler. According toHemanta KumarBharali,“Travelingcountriesis not possible for all. People who wish to travel can enjoy travelogues. But there is a fact that the writer should be successful in fulfilling the tasteofreaders. Sothat,travelogue literature should give the readers not onlytheinformation’s, but also the taste of good literature.’’ (Asomkosh, p. 343) Travelogue can be said as realistic experience centred and descriptive. Equally, it expresses the self-definition and observation of the author. Travelliteraturehelpsthereaders to achieve knowledge without going to travel. According to Ranjan Bhattacharya, “ The experience will getits homour of a literature when it is established as an art expressing the data and information in an artistic way.” (Borah, Manjula (Ed.): Bhasha Sahitya Barnali, p. 100-101) III. Development of Assamese Travel literature : To name an ancient Travel story, we can take Ram Mishra’s ‘brindaban Charit’. It was published in the reign of king Jaydhwajj Singha (1645-63). Another important travelogue is ‘Tripura Buranji’ written in 1724. (Jayanta kumar Borah, Sahityar Nana dix, p. 176) In real sense, Assamese Travel literaturestartsitsfirstphase of development in 19th century, Among all the pioneers of Assamese Travel literature, Gunabhiram Boruah was the first we started with his writing of ‘Saumar Bhraman’. After travelling to Saumarpeeth, Gunabhiram Boruah wrote this travelogue. So, it is an inter-country travelogue. Ananda Chandra Agarwal, a renowned educationist wrote a travelogue named ‘Brahmajatrir Diary’ about his Burma travel in the year of 1839. In the post independence era, AssameseTravel literature got a rapid development. Because as time flies, changes come to people’s lives and professions. People started going abroad IJTSRD23726

Post-independence travelogue literature can be divided into two parts as Inter- country travelogue and outer country travelogue. (Jugendra Narayan Bhuyan, chief editor, Biswa kosh 3rd series, p. 705) But in the post-independenceera,onlyouter-countryrelated travelogue is high in amount. In inter-country related travelogue, it includes – Subrata Boruah’s ‘Himtirtha Bodrinath’, Premlata Dutta’s ‘Alakanandar para Sagar Tiroloy’ (from Alakananda to Seabeach), Srinath Devgoswami’s ‘Panchadham Panchatirtha’, Harinarayan Dutta Boruah’s ‘Bharat Bhraman’ (Traveling around India), Anu Boruah’s ‘Delhir Dukhariya chabi’ (Broken images of Delhi), Dipika Bhattacharya’s ‘Prayagor Pare Pare’ (On the bank of Prayag), etc. North-East travel related travelogue includes- Lakheswar Sarmah’s ‘Misimi Paharar Ronsinga (War bell of Misimi Hills), Premlata Borah’s ‘Seujia Paharar Maje Maje’ (Amidst the green Hills) and Lila Gogoi’s ‘Simantar Mati aru Manuh’ (Men and land of the Border) ect. Hem Boruah, a well respected poet, critic and Educationist became quite popular though his travelogue ‘Sagar Dekhisa’ (Have you Seen the Sea), ‘RangaKarabirFul’(TheredFlower Karabi), ‘Israel’ and ‘Mekong noi dekhilu’ (I have seen the river Mekong). These travelogues are theresultofhis tour to many countries at different times. His ‘Sagar Dekhisa’ is regarded as the first Assamese travelogue written about travelling through America. Some other travelogues related to America are – Birinci Kumar Boruah’s Professor Boruahr chithi’ (Professor Boruah’s Letter), Lakhinandan Borah’s ‘Seemar paridhi Vangi’ (Breaking the circumference of a boundary), Nagen Saikia’s ‘Americat Dah Din’ (Ten days in America), Mahendranath Borah’s ‘Smritipatat America’ (America in my Rememberence), Rathindranath Goswami’s ‘Maha samudrar Paar’ (Banks of the great Sea), Pradipta Borgohain’s ‘Linclonor Dexor Atithi’ (Guest of Linclon’s Country), Karabi Deka Hazarika’s ‘Neela Sagar aru Sonali dex’ (Blue Sea and Golden country), Govinda Prasad Sarmah’s ‘Deffodil Ful Dekhisa’ (Have you seen the Deffodil’s) etc. There are many travelogues publishedwhich are related To Russia Travel. ThesearetobementionedHem Boruah’s (Red Flower Karabi), Sayed Abdul Malik’s ‘ Majat Mathun Himalaya’ (Only Himalaya is in between), Surendra Mahan Das’s ‘Tolostoyr dexat’ ( In the country of Tolostoy) etc. The travelogue related to England tour are as follows – Prafulla Dutta Goswami’s ‘Soon Rupar Nahai E dex’(Not a country of gold and silver), Uma Boruah’s ‘ Sien Noir Dhou’ (Waves of Sien), Lalit Boruah’s ‘ EuropeorBatot’(On theway of Europe), Nirupama Borgohain’s ‘Sarag Narakar Majedi’, (Going through heaven and hell) etc. Some other travelogue containing the travel experiences of China are Hemanga Biswas’s ‘China sai Ahilu’ (Back from China), and ‘Akou chin sai ahilu’ (Again came from China), Birendra kumar Bhattacharya’s ‘ Chinat ki Dekhilu’ (What I have seen in China) etc. A small number of travelogues expressing the experiences of Japan tour also got published.

Apart from these travelogues, some othertravel experiences written by the travelers have contributed to the field of Assamese literature. Some of them to be mentioned such as Gautam Prasad Boruah’s ‘DexeDexenanarang’(Many colors in many countries), Manuj kumar Goswami’s ‘ Volta Akhan Nadir Nam’ (Volta is a name of River), Dhrubajyoti Borah’s ‘China admiral Jaal’, Sunil kumar Saikia’s ‘ Pyramidar dexat’( In the Country of Pyramid), Saumyadeep Dutta’s ‘ Aranyar sa-puhar’ (Shadow and light of a Forest), Jyotishman das’s ‘47 days in SUWAI world’ etc. It is impossible to travel all over the globe for anyone. So, through the help of travelogues we can enjoy the taste of travelling. IV. Conclusion: In the present scenario, it is seen that Assamese Travel literature has achieved a tremendous development. Globalisation and the facilities of tourism is opening many doors for travel. We must say that all the travelogues do not fulfill the literary norms. But, through thehelpof thesetravel literature, readers can get an opportunity to understand the socio-cultural status and thoughts of different countries. It can be said that travel literature has made a known identity amongst all the genres of literature. Individualistic, translated, children friendly travelogues is helping in the speedy development of prose literature.Finallyitcan besaid that travel literature has became an integral part of popular contemporary literature.
