During his student life Lakhyadhar lodged with his uncle Sasha Choudhury of Uzan Bazar, Guwahati who was a peskar-an employee in the DC Court.

He started his career as a teacher of the North Guwahati Auniati Kamaldev High School in 1939 but quit his job in 1942 to join the freedom movement launched under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.

He plunged into the Quit India movement, working as a volunteer and linkman between the leaders, carrying their secret messages while posing as a salesman.

During the movement, he came into contact with leaders like Loknayak Jai Prakash Narayan, Acharya Kripalani, Aruna Asaf Ali, Achyut Patwardhan, Ram Manohar Lohia, etc.

After India’s independence, Choudhury was attracted to the ideals of socialism and engaged himself in political activities through the Socialist Party.

Always steadfast in his political beliefs, Choudhury again won in the 1977 election, immediately after the days of emergency and joined Golap Borbora ministry of Janata Party as a cabinet minister of Education and cultural affairs.

On the occasion of the inauguration of the new building of the theater hall, Choudhury’s drama Thikana was staged for two nights, where he played the leading role.

Always clad in dhoti and kurta made of khadi cloth, Choudhury had many noble qualities and his memory will linger on in Assamese society forever.

Thus he continues to inspire the young and old alike on leading a life that is simple yet dedicated to the cause of the region, the nation and the humanity at large.
