The book, assembled by personnel of the Assam Rifles, brings together a collection of folk narratives, legends and oral histories that have been passed down through generations in the northeastern state.
The publication aims to preserve these stories in written form, providing both scholars and the general public with a reference that highlights Tripura’s rich cultural tapestry. Officials from the Assam Rifles highlighted their long-standing interaction with local communities, noting that the force’s presence in remote areas has offered a unique opportunity to document indigenous folklore.
During the event, the Governor commended the collaborative effort between the defence establishment and cultural custodians, emphasizing that such initiatives strengthen the bond between the armed forces and the civilian populace. The book will be made available to schools, libraries and cultural institutions across the state.
The launch underscores a growing trend of defence agencies contributing to heritage preservation, reflecting a broader commitment to safeguarding India’s diverse traditions beyond conventional security roles.
