'''Bahgarah''' is the name of a village in the district of [[Darrang]], a district of [[Asom]] in [[India]].<br />
<br />
==Demography==<br />
Bahgarah consists of seven villages inhabited by both [[Hindu]]s and [[Muslim]]s. The [Muslim]s in this village are called [Goria]s. They are the descendants of the soldiers who invaded [Asom] in 1206 AD under the leadership of [Bakhtiar Uddin Khilji],and the later part of the 14th century.<br />
<br />
The [Muslim]s are originally from modern day [Malda] district of West Bengal.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name has come from the word "Bah" meaning [[bamboo]] and "Gar" meaning fort.<br />
<br />
It is said that in the course of the [[battle of Saraighat]] when [[Ram Singh I|Ram Singh]] attacked [Asom] the people of this locality built a fence of bamboo to ward off the enemy. And it has been attested by [Edward Gait] that when Ram Singh attacked this place with 200 horsemen he could not enter the village because of the bamboo fence. The village was renamed Bahgarah.<br />
