Swaheed Minar




Swaheed Minar is a memorial at Patharughat in Darrang District of Assam. It is about 15 km west of Mangaldoi.

It lies in a beautiful park and commemorates the great event of 1894, popularly known as 'Patharughatar Ran' (Battle of Patharughat). In that event, some 140 persons lost their lives as a result of unprovoked police firing while protesting against the unreasonable taxation of the British Government.
