The songs of freedom movement are mainly composed based on the influence of Mahatma Gandhi in the freedom movement. In the songs calling the women who were being stirred in the Khadi Movement to be entrusted to serve the country, portraying misery of opium eaters starting opium prevention campaign, description of being inspired by Gandhi’s “Do or Die” slogan, elimination of untouchability, call to rescue the country with the feeling of brotherhood regardless of race, religion, and caste, non-cooperation in government works, etc. show Gandhi’s influence.In the songs, the influence of Mahatma Gandhi in the freedom movement of Assam can be seen from such angle as Influence and expression of the principle of Satya and Ahimsa of Gandhiji,Reflection of Gandhi’s Liberal Ideal of Religion, Panegyric of Gandhi in the songs of the Freedom Movement and the nature of the Leadership of Gandhiji etc. Hence, in the contemporary time, there is a need for practicing these songs.In this paper I am trying to outlook the leadership influency and notable Ideology of Mahatma Gandhi which reflects in the Assamese Freedom Movement Songs.
