History of Tezpur - The City of Blood


Listen Later

Episode 5 of Season 1 of History With Saumya explores why Assam’s Tezpur is known as the ‘City of Blood’. We deep dive into the Mahabharat tale associated with the city as well as the 1962 episode when the Chinese troops almost took over this Assamese town among other stories.

And if you have any suggestions or feedback – or want to share anecdotes of your own city – say hello to Saumya on Instagram – @historywithsaumya
