The Ahom Kingdom: How Thai Migrants Built a Northeast Indian Superpower 

Pls make a video on Koch Rajbongshi. People easily ignore it, but it plays an important role in the history of assam

Hey love you vidoes , very informative .Keep up with you good work 👍

you got that naga tribes very wrong just the clothes they are wearing in your video are of The kachari kingdom peoples and large parts of present day nagaland state was under the kachari rule untill they lost the war against the ahoms

Naga never lived under anyone specially the kacharies , nagas were only conqured in the 18 centuries by the britishers in infact anyone can do so with such advance war technology

I am an Assamese from Assam. This was an amazing video. Not many people think of the Ahoms when they think of historical India. But they remain an integral part of India’s historical legacy.

Manipuris of North East traditional attire is very similar to Thai

@@ANABOLIC_1105 Are you sure? I never heard of this fact.from thailand

@@ANABOLIC_1105Ahoms and Thais are from the same origin Tai. Tai Ahoms have eventually embraced the local culture and traditions. They speak Asamiya and even their present day identity term “Ahom” comes from their pronunciation of “Asom” which is pronounced almost similarly in Asamiya. Can’t speak much of the attire as they were traditional Asamiya clothes now. But from what we’ve seen in pictures, they too look like that of the Thai people. Can’t speak on behalf of Manipuri people (and also I don’t know which tribe you are referring to), but I’m sure that both Thais and Tai Ahoms came from Yuan (if I’m not wrong). Most other tribes in Asam have a origin in Burma (present day Myanmar).

We Hindus should assure the revival and thriving of Ahom/Naga culture and traditions and make them brothers in dharma... so that we can fight the monotheistic predators that want to destroy dharma.

On the basis of my understanding, the hate relation is becuase of punitive expedition sent against the Nagas for raiding Assamese villages

We still consider Nagas as our brothers and sisters

@@Headhunter1592 because Nagaland is better than Assam

@@adventure4716 i live just at the borders of Nagaland and Arunachal, i think I know better, still ok i too consider Nagaland and Arunachal better then Assam in some fields like unity or regionalism,

Bro I am not from cbse but SEBA, we were taught about the glorious Ahom days... We know our culture and we are very proud of our Ancestors till today

@@journavhazarika1651 bro i'm from CBSE board and that's why i'm very unfortunate to learn little to nothing about my own history.

@@deepsikhagogoi5192 no worry bro.. now you can google it up✌️✌️✌️

It’s simply because the history is vast and it’s difficult to include ALL dynasties (balance of syllabus). The CBSE streamlines all of it 6000 years of history!! Into books for school kids.. now think how difficult it is. But state govt. books emphasise on regional history too which is excellent in inculcating self confidence and that’s how it should be. I am a Bengali but lived all across India and we don’t learn a lot on Bengali dynasties in CBSEs but state govt. books do. I taught myself about my heritage myself and how surprised I was that Sri Lankans actually have Bengali heritage :)

​@@deepsikhagogoi5192lol didn't your parents or grandparents told you about the ahoms

I’m happy to - and thank you for the show of support!

@@OddCompass You need a title correction. It’s “Tai” not Thai!!

Tai was the name of language, the people were of Thailand tho​@@Thaddeus-ml8if

no , its correct..​@@Thaddeus-ml8if

Be happy with the governance of Modi govt, our indigenous history is going to be highlighted which a thrown to dust by leftist so called writers like Ramila Thapar. Ahom kingdoms, Marathas, all the great kingdoms from South India everything is going to be included. New education policy is based on our own Gurukul system not what was applied by British. The gurukul system is far superior because it will be a interactive study session giving more importance to practical knowledge not only focusing on memory. Im sad that this going to implemented after so long time but happy that our future generations will get the advantage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d3u53ODrsnE.html

AHOM History must be in Indian history books now just as narrated.

​@@jaswantsingh9287 Ahom history is in CBSE textbooks. I've got to know about Ahoms first from CBSE books. I don't remember class. You weren't attentive in schools, it doesn't mean they only just glorified Mughals. I more remembers about Pre-Mugal History then Mughal History.

Thanks for the kind words, and for the tip! Glad to be able to cover history topics that are so neglected!

@@OddCompass please do a video about the Nagas

Goriyas are not native to assam. You are Bengali muslims who invaded assam during 13-14th centuries. Since you were forcefully converted the assamese took mercy on you and let you stay on their land. The word Goriya itself comes from the Word Gaur.. The Ancient Capital of Bengal.

Hey ahom 👋 Love from bengal ❤ Sadly we didn't learn about Ahoms in school 😢

Idk what's this thing, feeling proud on race and ancestory but no-one wants to feel ashamed on evil ancestors. I beleive in only ideology, dharmic Aryans were great the followers of the vedas who maintained Dharma are my idols

​@@vedicarya7 Don't tell me you believe in Aryan invasion theory

@@GuywithaTrexskullonhishead It's generally accepted in academic circles that Hinduism originated outside of India. But that doesn't make it any less Indian, and no scholar or scientist would ever say that. The fact that Hinduism developed _within_ India for thousands of years makes it as Indian as Christianity is European in Europe. Even more so, because Hinduism developed within India thousands of years longer than Christianity did within Europe (Christianity originated in the Middle East).

@Risaf Hasan mughals were only better in defeating those weak hindus baniyas other than them they always lost to the afghans maratas British finally

Now we know Hinduism was not our original religion right?

Actually, you do have a distant connection. Ahoms and Europeans (and their descendants) both share Indo-European DNA.

Perhaps it's because of the cultural similarities between Latin Americans and Indians? Even though our histories and the way our cultures formed differ greatly, through some sort of cultural convergent evolution. We ended up being pretty similar to one another

Why do people always says this? Dude history has an unlimited amount of depth. You could spend 10 hours a day studying history and die well before you even get through the bronze age. Schools have a very limited amount of time to teach history there's no possibility of learning about every culture and it's history. Schools actually due a decent job of teaching history. Just because they didn't teach about this pretty obscure culture doesn't mean they are ignoring history or hiding history. You think the people from India are learning about some small native American tribe in Canada? No. If you payed attention in school you would have a decent grasp of all the important historical events which is as good as it gets in any school across the globe. Stop bashing school over not teaching every little historical detail it's a ridiculous idea.

Kingdomwise no but dynastywise, not a single one in India. The ahom Kingdom was ruled by the same dynasty,the progenies of suokapha for 600 years.

It is because only ahom maintained buranjis. Earlier kingdoms didnt keep written records. There is a mention of a chutiya king Asambinna who ruled in 7th century and lived in the banks of brahmaputra. It was recorded by a British historian N.Elias in his book from an assamese manuscript.

@@RedDragon-yq7ro Assamese is not a caste term to be specific about only a certain group of people. Whether you are Ahom, Brahman, Kachari, Kalita, Muslim etc etc all the indigenous people of Assam are called Assamese.

​@@RedDragon-yq7ro Assamese doesn't specify a single religion or cast. Assamese are those people who lives in this land and loves and follows the culture of Assam and Assamese language whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Christian. All people living in it who believes the vision of "Bor Axom/Assam বৰ অসম" with their heart and soul are known as Assamese ❤ The Ahom Army was not only of Ahom. It was a formation of Assamese people including Non-Ahom people. Together we are strong and our Assamese ancestors beat the ass out of the Mughals 💪

@@RedDragon-yq7ro how does that matter or is relevant to the OP’s comment?

@@RedDragon-yq7ro Were you aware Ahom Kingdom was not a monolithic kingdom of only Ahom people but each and every tribe/community contributed to its expanse? To the point where Ahom became a multi-ethnic, multi-religious people that later became the modern state of Assam? This is like saying most Italians are not Romans. The Paik system dictated each and every male, no matter the community had to serve in the Ahom Military for a time. Therefore, each person from Assam had at least one ancestor that directly served the Ahom Kingdom.

But those cultural elements are threatened by mass migrations. Assam deserves to protect its culture and heritage.

@@hritizgogoi3739 It's actually not mass migration, it is the infiltration of radicals and extremists from the neighboring country into Indigenous lands that is the problem. It shouldn't be called mass migration, because it is not migration, it is a form of settler colonialism

@@chadcj2077 I agree it is a form of settler colonialism but if you look at the whole picture, people who have recently migrated to Assam in last 30 years I think the number will be around 1 Crore. 30 years is blink of an eye in history of a civilization which has lasted 2000 years. This exceeds population of many small countries. And it's not only migration of extremists is dangerous, take a look at Tripura for case study. People who migrated there, they were not extremists. It's slow from our perspective doesn't mean it is not mass migration.

@Daniil Medvedev Nyishi, we were known as Daflas by the Ahoms and British

@@Archer89201 arunachal

yes most of nefa or arunachal tribes during those times had initial conflict with the newly formed ahom dynasty and it was common to raid the plains of assam also many of those plains region itself were parts of many tribes historical areas. i am from changlang tangsa tribe of tang clan,our people used to control till makum during one period. and we were called as tangsu/tongsu nogas by the ahoms . the sibsagarh,naharkatia and many areas were also controlled by other fellow original naga tribes like nocte, wancho/konyak. the ahoms were smart diplomatically in present context and to pacify the tribes they gave lands at the plains of assam known today as "nogakhat' and opened trade relations and inter marriage. as many of our tribes were also at war with each other especially in the remote regions for lands and resources they ahoms supported one group over another and formed friendship. the noga in ahom history had been the present naga tribes of arunachal or patkai hills to be exact except the konyaks who were also part of nefa. the reason why we especially patkai nagas wear elephant ivories in our arms is to showcase we won over the tai ahoms and other tai shans in past conflicts. and the conflict didn't take place only in present india or nonyang lake but also in kachin province,hukong valley area. we call them 'shamsa'in our dialect the people who live in the plains to all the tai people. they call us 'noga' or 'khang'.

@Daniil Medvedev most of this written history is by authors from outside and the version is of ahoms own history how they perceive and written according to their favour. Be logical, the nagas still stays in their patkai hills. Where as the ahoms were pushed further west why did the ahoms migrate westward? Wasn't the land of buri-dehing fertile enough? And the foothills of patkai good for cultivations and agriculture and climate wise good? Just FYI, there were no ahoms in the land near the patkai foothills till recently before britishers left. Most of the foothills of patkai is dominated by bengalis and nepalis and adivasi who were brought by britishers to work for them as slaves. The ahoms all settled near sibsagarh jorhat areas and some in upper assam in villages. So, its all just one sided history of ahoms, the nagas still maintain there culture and traditions while the ahoms losts their to the mainland Indians. The nagas still live in their patkai hills while the ahoms got conquered by britishers and now dominated by illegal Bangladeshis and economic migrants from other parts of India. The salt wells villages are all presently in naga villages as have been. Even before britishers and during britishers. Despite buranjis, being ahom version of history there are still many errors and mistakes which even the caretaker of buranjis admit. My maternal grandfather who was a teacher educated in assamese medium and knew far better history of ahoms and other tribes like Morans, kacharis etc in upper assam more than the ahoms and assamese themsleves. He was mostly invited as guest to speak in their functions as the assamese society themsleves lost their own culture and history being taught their history and culture by a noga man. While my paternal grandfather who wa much older was an abhori noga wild and used to his guns and daos and looting british goods from Margherita - boragolai areas from their trains and causing fear amongst the British subjects. Sadly all those areas are now under Assam not because of ahoms but because of britishers. No ahoms lived on those lands or ruled. They just passed through those areas. But now mostly britishers slaves like bengalis, nepalis and marwaris etc has made it their homeland. Thats the actual history which the people of the land knows.

@Daniil Medvedev and whatver you have copy pasted is written by authors who don't live in the place near nong yang lake or patkai hills, all those are in arunachal pradesh. Still in nongyang lake it is inhabited by naga tribes no tai-shans or any other community is present there. And patkai Hill is also inhabited by naga tribes. And it's a one sided history written only between altercation between a few villages. If you ask a remote naga villager from patkai hills they won't be have ever heard about ahoms/assamese or any other. Only those who stayed at the foothills and the route between yunnan - India faced the ahoms. And initially ahoms subjugated a few villages along the pangsau pass region but were pushed when the reinforcement of the United naga villages came but that too didn't include the whole northern nagas. From their they went to tipam in namrup, stayed there for a few years but against were troubled and pushed by the naga tribes who resided nearby those regions. And finally they mixed with the local tribes of the plains and moved to sibsagarh area where they settled almost permanently. Although war with tai-shan group is orally passed down to all the northern naga groups not with the ahoms but the tai-shans probably way before ahom existed in present Northern burma region. Northern naga and singpho (kachin) were under one group in those days under a common tangshang culture. Nagamese has nothing to do with the broken assamese which was called Nefamese to do trade with the plain people. Nagamese was formed later mostly during the period of britishers but Nefamese or broken assamese was used as an medium during ahom times. And it was mostly only spoken by foothill patkai naga tribes where as the remote region did not speak and still doesn't speak any other language other than their own.
