‘O mur aponar desh’ or ‘O’ my dearest country’ is the State Song or State Anthem of Assam. The song was written by eminent litterateur Lakshminath Bezbaroa and attuned by Kamala Prasad Agarwala. It was first published in 1910 in an Assamese magazine named ‘Bahi’ and later in Lakshminath Bezbaroa’s poetry collection called ‘Kadamkoli’. This song was officially adopted as the Assam’s state song at ‘Asom Chatro Sannmilon’ (Assam Student Conference) held in Tezpur in 1927. From then on, this has been sung in public functions in Assam along with the national anthem. Assam government accorded the status of official State Song to this song on 15 December, 2013.
