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

Рет қаралды 1,136,038

Жыл бұрын

The history of the Ahom Kingdom -- and Northeast India more broadly -- is often neglected. In fact, most people don't know that the Ahom was actually a Southeast Asian (Tai) power for most of its history, with close ties to its homeland in modern-day Yunnan.
In this video, I aim to cover -- in brief -- the story of the Ahom, from their original migration into India, to their conflicts with the Mughals, and much, much more.
Enjoy!

As an Indian (Assamese) from the state of Assam, I am greatly impressed by this video. Its the first time I have seen any western channel putting so much effort in showcasing the rich political history in the medieval era of my state. Most people while talking about the medieval history of India forget about this powerful kingdom and only focus on the Rajputs, Sultanates and Mughals. I am not saying that the rest are irrelevant but the Ahom Kingdom too deserves such attention.

Iam a Naga , we had a love hate relationship with the Ahoms , we fought them many times but also became an Ally and gave refuge to Ahom king in our hills (the Cave where the king took refuge is till there in Konyak region ) He married a Naga chieftain daughter but said to have died in childbirth hence the Ahom king named the place “Naganimora: Naga princess death place “ the town still exists and is now a bustling trading town on Nagaland-Assam border .

So proud to learn about the history of our relates (I live in Thailand). I now learned that we two groups have something in common, that's being "assimilated". Our ancient lands that became Thailand today once belonged to the Mon people of Dvaravati kingdom, one of our ancestry. Tai people ("Thai" in our dialect), our another main ancestry migrated down from the north (today south China) couple of millennia ago and mixed with the Mons. On one later time, the Khom (the Khmers nowadays are the left of once slave clade of the Khom empire) from the east invaded and captured our lands. On later time, our ancestry who drove off the Khom and declare independence from the Khom were Thai. They established Sukhothai kingdom, our first "Thai era" capital city. At the time, the original Tais and Mons were mixed and blended into mainly Thai cultures. So we are considered partly "assimilated" Thai like Ahom people.

@@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).

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.

Nagas were head hunters in the past, so it is natural that when marching foreigners crossed their territories, they would certainly attack the intruder. This video has clearly stated that the advancing Ahom from Yunan came across hostile Nagas. This proves that Nagas were already settled in the present Naga territory before superior Ahom came to Assam. Ahom and Nagas established friendly trade and matrimonial relationship though frequent raid on Ahoms prevailed before. Nagas usually bartered iron, farming tools, salt, etc from Ahoms. History has taught us that Ahom and Nagas depended on each other and had good and peaceful relationship untill the ilegal immigrants from Bangladesh were brought to settle in Assam- Nagaland border by politicians of Assam that led to creation of border skirmishes and misunderstanding between the two communities. Assam should deport all illegal immigrants from Bangladeshis to their home country. Assam should stop exporting foreigners to Northeast especially to Nagaland state. Most illegal immigrants from Bangladeshis in Nagaland possessed documents procured from Assam with their residency in Hojai, Kamringanj, Nowgown, etc.

Very good video. Quite a concise narration of the 600 years of Ahom kingdom. Although some topics deserve longer discussion. Happy to see Assam's history find prominence. Videos like these are helping mainland India as well as the rest of the world discover Assam in a new light. Lots of respect to Odd Compass from Assam.

As an Ahom and someone who has read about our rich history, in detail in certain aspects, I can confirm that this is by far the most accurate and immersive representation of our history. Gotta appreciate the efforts man! P.S.: The word Asama was used to refer to the Ahom community, which meant peerless, as we were a relentless force, conquering and subjugating along the way.

Let's take rajputs only a few names any dynasty are being taught to us like chauhan only one ruler , Mewar only maharana pratap and little bit sanga. Chandela , tomar , garhwal , solanki etc were not even mentioned. Mewar is by far the greatest kingdom of mediaeval india they defeated khilji , tughlaqs , lodi , Mughals not once or twice but 10s of times even captured Mohammad bin tughalaq and Ibrahim lodi etc and got hefty tributes from them , they captured aurangzebs wife when he fled from the battlefield and then returned her as a goodwill but we are taught only about maharana pratap and only Haldighati not the battle of dewair in which he routed Mughals completely from Mewar
