 The Francis Bacon of Assam is Bhupen Hazarika. He was a singer, songwriter, actor, filmmaker, and social activist. He was born in 1926 in Sadiya, Assam. He was educated at Cotton College, Guwahati, and the University of Calcutta.

Hazarika began his career as a singer and songwriter in the 1950s. He quickly became one of the most popular singers in Assam. He also wrote songs for films and stage productions.

In the 1960s, Hazarika began to make films. His films were known for their social message and their beautiful music. He also acted in several films.

Hazarika was a strong advocate for the rights of the Assamese people. He was also a vocal critic of the government's policies. He was arrested several times for his political activities.

Hazarika was a multi-talented artist who made significant contributions to Assamese culture. He is considered one of the greatest Assamese artists of all time.

The title "Francis Bacon of Assam" is a reference to the English philosopher Francis Bacon, who was known for his wide-ranging interests and his contributions to a variety of fields. Hazarika was similarly known for his wide-ranging talents and his contributions to Assamese music, cinema, and literature.

Hazarika died in 2011 at the age of 85. He is remembered as a national icon and a cultural ambassador for Assam.

The title "Francis Beacon of Assam" is not a widely recognized or commonly used term in the context of Assamese literature or history. Francis Bacon was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, and author known for his works on empirical philosophy and the scientific method. It's possible that the reference to "Francis Beacon of Assam" may be a less-known or localized comparison to a writer or thinker in Assam, but it does not correspond to a well-known or widely recognized figure in the region's literary or intellectual history based on my knowledge up to September 2021. If you have more specific information or context about the individual being referred to, I would be happy to provide further assistance.
