Lachit Borphukan's story should be taught in every Indian school. His leadership during the Battle of Saraighat is legendary. Hope this documentary reaches wider audiences beyond film festivals.

As someone not from Assam, I'm excited to learn about this historical figure. The animation format makes it accessible for younger audiences too. Great initiative!

While I appreciate the effort, I wish they had released it on mainstream platforms instead of just social media. Many people without good internet access might miss this important documentary.

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 Lachit Borphukan's famous words "My uncle is not greater than my country" still give me goosebumps. So happy to see Northeast Indian heroes getting their due recognition.
