==Education==
Daimary joined [[B. Borooah College]] in [[Guwahati]] in 1986. But he could not complete his graduation since he joined [[ULFA]] in the same year and went underground. Later he became the Central Publicity Secretary of the outfit.<ref name="ij" />

==Arrest==
He was captured by the [[Royal Bhutan Army]] during the [[Royal Bhutan Army#2003 Operation: All Clear|Operation All Clear]] in December 2003.<ref name="ab" /><ref name="cd" /> He was handed over by Bhutan to the Indian Army who in turn handed him over to Assam Police on 20 December 2003.<ref name="cd" /> ‘‘I will not surrender before the government and will fight to the end,’’ said Daimary in a show of defiance when produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Nalbari. He further said that the Bhutanese operation was quite unexpected.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/37747/|title=Daimary says he won't surrender|date=2003-12-22|publisher=Indianexpress.com|access-date=2009-10-13}}</ref> He has now been released from jail for peace talks between the Government of India and the ULFA.<ref name="gh" /> Apurba Baruah became his successor after his arrest.

==Poetry==
{{main|Melodies and Guns}}
Daimary wrote poetry under the [[pseudonym]] '''Megan Kachari''' and has three collections of it. In 2006, the World Book Fair in Frankfurt released an English translation of some of his poems.<ref name="ab" /> '''[[Melodies and Guns]]''' ({{ISBN|9788174765802}})<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bookfinder.com/dir/i/Melodies_and_Guns-Poems_of_Megan_Kachari/8174765808/|title=Melodies and Guns: Poems of Megan Kachari|publisher=BookFinder.com|access-date=2009-10-13}}</ref>) is a collection of his poems published by UBSPD in response to the efforts taken by [[Jnanpith Award]]ee [[Mamoni Raisom Goswami]]. '''''Memsahib Prithibi''''' is the collection of his Assamese poetry<ref name="gh" /> now translated into English as "Melodies and Guns" by Pradeep Acharya and Manjeet Baruah. The preface of the book is written by Dr Goswami herself.<ref name="ef" /><ref name="gh" /> He has been writing poetry since even before he joined ULFA in the 1980s.<ref name="ef" /> "While at the camp, he had a few birds as pets. On the night of the crackdown, when everyone was fleeing, he wanted to take them with him. On finding them asleep, he waited for them to wake up, but it was too late," said Dr Mamoni Raisom Goswami.<ref name="gh" />

==Family Assassination==
In 2000 his entire family - mother, elder brother, sister, pregnant sister-in-law – was assassinated by unidentified gunman<ref name="ab" /><ref name="gh" /> which is said to be a part of the [[Secret-killings of Assam|Secret Killings]] that then AGP government allegedly carried out.<ref name="ab" />
