Mahabahu’s illustrious journey commenced in 1980, with the publication of its first issue, marking the begining in Assam as a fortnightly Assamese.

From its early days, it served as a soldier of Assam’s rich literary heritage, attracting contributions from luminaries such as Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, Surendra Nath Medhi ( Saurabh Kumar Chaliha), Jatindra Kumar Borgohain, Kanaksen Deka, Deven Dutta, and many more. This remarkable commitment to preserving culture and knowledge is what makes Mahabahu an exceptional platform.

Digital Transformation: Bridging Generations and Cultures

In 2017, Mahabahu underwent a transformative evolution. It transitioned into a bilingual website, www.mahabahu.com, offering content in both Assamese and English. This shift was not merely about keeping up with the times; it was a deliberate effort to bridge generational and linguistic gaps. As the digital era firmly took hold, Mahabahu recognized the need to adapt and evolve to connect with a global audience.

The website, www.mahabahu.com, is not just a digital platform; it’s a global platform now. Readers and writers from India, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iran, Myanmar, and beyond have embraced its content.

It invited articles in both Assamese and English from writers who have been instrumental in shaping the media landscape of Assam and the world. The outcome of this tremendous effort was a book titled ‘175 Years of Media in Assam and Beyond,’ a monumental 1200-page tome. “

This underscores Mahabahu’s role as a platform for informed discussions on global matters. Mahabahu is a platform for Ukraine too, from the beginning of the war. Mahabahu is a platform for Climate Change issues, activities of United Nations, Indigenous People, Iran situation, Myanmar, etc.
