Silchar City

Silchar is the headquarters of Cachar district in the state of Assam in India. Being politically stable in the otherwise disturbed Northeast earned it the bon mot of "Island of Peace" from India's then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Silchar is situated by the banks of the Barak River in what is popularly known as Barak Valley.  Rice is the staple cereal. Fish is also widely consumed. During the British rule, ships were docked at the bank of the river Barak. Gradually, a market developed at the bank and became a major place of economic activity. In the 1850s, British tea planters re-discovered the game polo in Manipur on the Burmese border with India.  The first polo club in the world was formed at Silchar.  The first competitive modern form of polo was played in Silchar, the plaque for this feat still stands behind the District Library, Silchar.
