Late Shrinath Deva Madhu-Mishra Satradhikar Goswami (Father)
Hitendra Nath Goswami is currently the Speaker of Assam Legislative Assembly. He is a member of Bharatiya Janata Party, which he joined on 10 March 2014 in New Delhi. He was a member of Asom Gana Parishad until 16 February 2013, when he resigned from the party membership "expressing his frustration at the failure of the party leadership to bring in new blood to revive the regional force". However, he made it clear that he has nothing against the aims and objectives of the regional force and he would always continue his anti-Congress stand.
Hitendra Nath Goswami is the sixth among eight sibling of Late Shrinath Deva Goswami and Late Smt. Rambha Goswami, who was the Satradhikar of Madhu-Mishra Satra and a prominent citizen of Jorhat. His father was a Gold Medalist of University of Calcutta and founder of three educational Institutions namely –i) Deepling Higher Secondary School, Sibsagar District ii) Dhekial Higher Secondary School, Golaghat District and iii) Borbheta Primary and High School at Jorhat District, eventually retired from the Agricultural Department in 1965 as Sugarcane Inspector. Born on 1 January 1959, Hiten Goswami started his schooling at the school established by his father at Borbheta and shifted to Jorhat Govt. Boys' H.S and M.P. School for high school level. He excelled in H.S.S.L.C from J.B.College, Jorhat in 1976 and joined St. Edmunds College, Shillong for graduation. During the same time he started North East Region Student Union (which later on became North East Region Students's Union, NESO) as the founder convener for the cause of N.E.India. He played an active role in the Assam Movement and due to his agitational activities against the illegal immigration and atrocities of the Indian Army on the local populace he was arrested and was sent to Silchar Jail and Tihar Jail under N.S.A. He lost a few academic years but with immense grit and determination received his Bachelors and master's degree(1985) in Chemistry with 1st Class from Gauhati University. Having seen the excesses of law (use of arbitrary arrest, illegal detention and torture of the protesters) during the Assam Movement and feeling the need to defend the powerless he pursued LLB degree from Guwahati University, graduated in 1987 and started working in the Gauhati High Court. In a short period of time he gained a lot of respect as a lawyer. He is married to Malabika Goswami and he has a daughter who is currently pursuing her Bachelors in Miranda House (Delhi University). The spirit of commitment to the society with honesty, integrity and humanity was a family tradition with all his siblings excelling in each of their field of activity.
