Jagannath Barua petitions William Erskine Ward, Esq. ICS, Chief Commissioner of Assam, in 1893 not to prohibit the cultivation and consumption of opium.

Barua is president of Jorhat Sarbajanik Sabha, an Assamese nationalist organization he had founded in 1884.

British Expeditionary Forces, explorers, and hunters in India's northeast carry opium with them to appease hostile tribes. (Source: Central Bureau of Narcotics, Gwalior)
