'''Someswar Kakoti''' ([[Assamese language|Assamese]]: '''সোমেশ্ৱৰ কাকতী''') is a veteran freedom fighter from [[Amguri]], a town in [[Sibsagar]] district of Assam. He took part in the [[Quit India Movement]] in 1942. On 9 August 2008, he was facilitated by the [[President of India]] Smt [[Pratibha Patil]] at the [[Rashtrapati Bhavan]], [[New Delhi]].

==Activities==
During the movement, Kakoti was the Secretary of Amguri Congress Committee. He was the pioneer in starting the first program of the movement in the region for which he had to be the victim of police and military atrocities.

==Arrest==
In 1930, he was arrested for opposing the Cunningham circular. In 1932, he was imprisoned for six months. In 1940–1941, he was again sent to jail for six month for his active participation in the [[Satyagraha|Satyagraha Movement]]. Kakoti, following instruction of the head of the Congress party, went underground when warrant was issued to arrest him under Section 126/A. From there, he continued his part of the movement.

==Post Independence==
Post Independence, Kakoti established schools in the region and later became a teacher. Even after his retirement from school, he still associated himself with local educational institutions, socio-cultural and religious organizations. He also served as a press correspondent for a long time.
