Sonaram Sutiya 〔*>〕(also known as "Vaishnav Pandit") was a Vaishnav scholar, Freedom fighter and Educationist from Assam, India. Born in Bamkukurachowa village in the Jorhat district of Assam during the British Raj, Sutiya was educated in Jorhat and completed his B.Sc from Cotton College. Throughout his education, Sutiya witnessed insulting comments from upper-caste boys and instances of disrespectful mistreatment from religious establishments towards certain communities.

Sutiya began his career as a science teacher at the Sivasagar Government Higher Secondary School in 1939 but left his job and joined the Jatiya Mahasabha. He was jailed during the Quit India Movement, and he met Pitambar Dev Goswami, Satradhikar of the Garmurh Satra, in prison in 1943. In 1946, Sutiya joined the Srimanta Sankaradeva Sangha, devoting himself to working for the organisation for the rest of his life.

In 2000, the Assam government bestowed the Srimanta Sankaradeva Award on him. In 2005, he was awarded as Jorhat Ekalabya and Dalit Daradi by North Eastern Research Organization. A Gandhian in life, Sutiya was a student of Class X, when he saw Gandhiji for the first time and met him personally later in Maharashtra. ==Early Life== Sonaram Sutiya was born into an ethnic Assamese Sutiya family on 8 June 1915 to Jagiram Sutiya and Phuleswari Sutiya in Jorhat district of Assam.
