:: An inquiry towards the origin of the title Brahma used by Bodo people in Assam :: During the course of a study on the Evolution of the Brahmo Dharma in Colonial Bengal,and its relation to the life of the Sahityarathi, I have found out that- the Brahmo Religion was spread among the Bodo people in Assam too in 1906. The first person to be initiated into this religion was Kalicharan Mech from Dhubri district. The initiation was done in Calcutta. He tried to reform the Bodo Society. He preached against rearing of pigs, fowl birds and brewing of the rice beer. To carry forward his teachings, he established the Bodo Mahasabha. He changed his surname to Brahma. In 1911, the title Brahma was formally accepted as the last name of the follower of this religion. Is there any history available on the origin of the Brahma title? I want to study on this matter. And also on the Social changes brought out by this religion in the Bodo society in Assam. Any suggestion of books,articles,relevant data is welcome.
