The Ahom Kingdom: How Thai Migrants Built a Northeast Indian Superpower
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- 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!
Thanks for watching, everyone! Hope you enjoyed this one. For me, it was so great to be able to tell such a unique origin story! Love a migration story that has twists and turns.
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.
As a Thai, the video was awesome to cover what my cousins did!
The Ahom dynasty beating the cr@p out of the Mughals reminds me of Vietnam defeating the Mongols, the Chinese, the French and the Americans.
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).
Yo Cousin Bro
Pi Nong Tai 🙏
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 .
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,
This is the Indian history we should be learning in schools. Sadly, Assam and Assamese history barely found a mention in national textbooks. Thanks Odd Compass for your brilliant efforts!
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
As a Tibetan ….. I request all my Indian brothers and sisters to supports tibet freedom… china invaded Tibet in 1959. Tibet is a peaceful country who shares border with India now china has invaded it and encroaching towards India using our border… Indian govt. spend 1000s of crore to protect this border but before 1959 India spend marginal on this border as Tibetan have population of 6 millions only thus we leave it to India to guard it. As per books we had soldier head count of about few thousands at the time and never felt threaten by India so never bother to guard this border. Tibet freedom means info can save a lot they will not share border with china.
Tibet is Chinese
You are chinese 😂@@maniramdewan9882
Nope it was an independent nation back then@@maniramdewan9882
Full support to Tibet
Honestly I agree that Tibet should be free but to say that it was a peaceful country is dishonest at best or manipulative at worst as tibet did invade Chinese provinces like yunan during the Chinese civil war as they wanted to take advantage of the turmoil
Thank you for comprehensively covering topics which are ignored in Indian curriculum!
I’m happy to - and thank you for the show of support!

Thanks! It is just amazing to learn about Indian history not taught in our schools. You are doing great work.
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.

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
I was born and raised in Assam, same as my father and even though I could never be ethnically Assamese, a huge part of my cultural upbringing comes from there and I feel pride for the state. I loved having assam history from sixth to eighth grade in our school.
An Ahom here, so glad you brought up this video in such a beautiful & informative presentation. Thank you.
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).
@@Abhi46159 what's more sad is Hindus Will be slowly wiped out of Assam and Bengal if the infiltration of Bangladeshis keep Continuing

Indians and SE Asians might look different but culturally we are brothers
Love seeing the unity in the comments 🤝🇮🇳🇹🇭🇲🇲🇰🇭🇻🇳🇱🇦❤️

Some Indians and SE Asians do look similar,
Since India is filled with different races and culture
Hence u can say Indians and SE Asians look similar
No one in India resembles the other. That's our whole thing 😂😂
We Hindus should assure the revival and thriving of Ahom culture and traditions and make them brothers in dharma... so that we can fight the monotheistic predators that want to destroy dharma.
Actually many Northeast Indians do look like Southeast Asians.
As an Assamese I am delighted to watch this well researched and wonderfully designed presentation of our history. Many thanks 🙏👍
I'm from Mexico. Grew up in California, yet the way you cover historiography with interesting animations really makes me interested in this part of the world that I have no connection to. Much appreciated.
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
It's nice to see that our chili peppers were appreciated in the land of many flavors. Good food 👍🏽
@@adityachandrasekhar740 Ahoms are more South east Asian than Indo-European.
@@HenryKissinger69 Yes. But they have up to 30% Indo-European DNA.
Can we just thank this random American dude who's giving us a broader and deeper understanding of South Asian history than 12 years of the government school syllabus?
EDIT - Indian-American but my point stands
He's Indian
He's Indian dude
Pretty sure he’s Indian-American.
He's Telugu-tamilan hybrid
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.
As an Ahom myself, I feel so proud to see our enriching history being so wonderfully documented.

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.
Wow😍 take a hi from your tai ahom sis 😅

@@OddCompass hi do make some historical videos on pandya , cholas dynasty plz plz
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.
This mainland term is divisive. Anyway, I would love the history of NE included as distinct chapters in all school board syllabuses across the country.

We have always respected Ahom Hindus. We are proud of our roots not because of these channels but because We are one.
Only lack of knowledge leaded to ignorance but BJP government has mentioned Ahoms many times.
@@kartikyadav6282 nice to know that even a Yadav is BJP supporter. We truly need more Yadavas like you. Respect
The Ahoms ruled for nearly 600 years which is quite an impressive length of time for any Kingdom in any part of the world
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.
@@SB-oz7uxyour argument is stupid it's like saying Romans are fake because they wrote there history
😂you forgot about your neighbour ningthouja dynasty
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.
No Assamese want to even live with a Hindu intruder we want pure Assamese and local indegenious people to live in Northeast before any colonialism occurred
what did they do?
Interesting, I wasn't aware India also had an illegal immigration problem
@@pankajsaikia67-d6s being an Assamese I agree with you kokai . Miya free Axom

Similar to Ahoms, my native hill states of Garhwal and Kumaon have a long and rich history. Wish we were taught all of these as well.
Pahadi culture is slowly getting erroded by general Hindi culture imported from the plains.
But there is a huge cultural difference, Garhwali and Kumaonis are mostly Rajputs while NE are tribals,
@ranveersr8080 we are now, but we were tribals as well before we mixed with plains people after Islamic invasions. We are still called khas rajputs to denote our mixed ancestry.
@@ranveersr8080 Gharwali and kumaoni are pahadi rajpoot tribals. Tribal is not a specific community. Tribe of every region is different.
@@vaishnavnegi9640 tu hoga bhai mixed ancestry ka, there are pure rajputs too in the hills and mixed rajputs exist in the plains too.
Wow, I've never heard of the Ahom Kingdom before, but now I'm convinced it's the coolest kingdom in India's history! Can someone build me a time machine so I can go back and join their army
You need to study more history..
Study more indian history u will find Amazing stuff than this as well
Their army will have lots of tribal allies during their fight with the Mughals

The history of Ahom and North East India is so rich but still, India's education system doesn't implement these courses in their early history book. As an Assamese, I'm proud to say that Ahom's history is rich in culture and stories. And thank you for making an amazing video to spread this information worldwide.

This was a very accurate and so perfect depiction of our ancestorial legend which even our academic books fails to deliver. Being a Assamese, it feels very proud to see such efforts shown by peoples like you to enhace our glorious history. It takes more then a simple research to show these kind of untold legends to the public which are deep hidden in Cultural books that are not famous and not included in academics for the 1-10 standards. Hats off ❤
Man, the way the Ahoms handled the Mughals, with Monsoon, River floods, "trained" crocodiles, bamboo fortresses, and others, that's 🔥. And what a terrain expertise. These should be in history books. I would have loved history more!

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.
As an Assamese, I can clearly say that the expression, execution of this video is far better than any other mainstream Indian channel who haven't gave such kind of effort and research in Ahom Kingdom. Hat's off 🔥
As an ahom you earned my respect 🙏 but you forgot to say that we fought the mughals 17 times. Also the Man people( Burmese ) attacked us many times.
Other then ahoms there are other tai groups as well in assam like khamti, khamyang, aiton, turung, lai etc. And tai people from thailand and Myanmar come everyear to assam to celebrate Me-dam-me-phi with us on 31st jan
There is detailed video on this by study iq
I comment rarely but ......
well I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your excellent productions. I owe all my knowledge of this subject to you and other UA-cam channels. For a student like me who cannot afford to buy many books it is really a blessing to see ( and learn) unbiased true history. Please don't stop. Will become a patron whenever I can.
Thank you.
God bless you.
Loved the video! I'm from Northeast India, and it was very enlightening, to say the least, to learn more about the history of my own region. The animation and presentation were superb and kept me engaged the whole time. Glad I discovered your channel! It would be immensely helpful and appreciated if you could share the sources you used for your research and recommend further readings so we can explore more on our own as well.
The war between the Ahom and Mughals was similar to the war between Qing and Konbaung.
Here Ahoms were Qing or Konbaung? the later was the enemy of our ancestors.
@@shiromani557 Konbaung.
Interestingly, the Konbaung Dynasty later invaded the Ahom Kingdom and captured it, leading to British control over Assam.
Read about the origin and result of the Moamoria Rebellion in the Ahom Kingdom. The 32 year civil war that led to the weakening of the kingdom.
Such a fascinating history of the great ahom kingdom and their tactics. This is brilliant piece man. Bravo! 🌸
Best video yet, the production quality is hitting new heights!
One thing you left out was that the Moamoria rebellion was quelled with British help before the Burmese invasion. The Burmese invasion happened due to ideological differences between the King (Chandrakanta Singha) and his General (Badanchandra Borphukan), whereby the latter took the help of the Burmese to get control over the throne, which resulted in the destruction of the Ahom Kingdom and the installation of a puppet King. King Chandrakanta Singha, who had escaped to Kolkata, took the help of the British there to quell the Burmese invaders. But this time, the British never left and through the treaty of Yandaboo in 1826 with the Burmese, took control of the whole kingdom. Later, the British even went on to conquer the whole of Burma.
Moamoria rebellion wasn't quelled by the British, they helped significantly, but credits must be given to Purnananda Burhagohain.

I am glad to see knowledge about Assamese history being spread more.
It's a place where all Assamese, Ahom or Non Ahom, Hindu or Muslim have lived together in harmony as brothers for centuries, even fighting the Mughal invaders together.
It's a place with a unique and beautiful blend of South,South East and East Asian elements, truly the heart of Asia
So well said 👏 Gonna have 2 steal that last line 😊 From it's geographical location, ethnic/racial diversity & unique mix of so many different cultures 2 d delicious fusion cuisine, Assam truly feels like d heart of Asia 🥰 It's d perfect blend of South Asian, South-East Asian, Sino-Tibetan (Himalayan) & to a lesser extend East Asian, even a bit of Middle Eastern elements.
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.
Forgot about moamoroya rebellion
My tribe also played small part in Ahom history , we raided the borders regularly until the Ahom king granted Posa(minor grants for goods as tax) to various clans including my own that stopped the raids. My maternal great grand father's Posa was even reiterated by the British but the documents and other memorabilia were lost in 1970s communal conflicts. My tribesmen were hired by various warring factions of Ahom dynasties in internecine as well other conflicts as mercenaries, they were good archers. Many of my tribesmen are still settled in present they Assam too
@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.
Thanks a lot for such an educational video on a kingdom that is often overlooked in the Indian history. If I am not wrong then Lachit is a legendary Ahom warrior and he deserves a video of his own.
I was not aware much about ahom dynasty from core however the way you elaborated each and everything like crystal clear of thd history like never before really appreciate your efforts in making this video ❤
This is the best made video on Ahoms. Greetings from an Assamese.
Many people don't know Ahoms had tradition of writing down their history called Buronji.
This is academic level video editing and history explain style... should be part of all Indian online and offline academic history lesson 🎉
Yes! I see and Odd Compass video, I click. Excited to learn more about the Ahoms from your perspective.
Thank you for creating this insightful video about Assam's history and the AHOM empire. As someone from Assam, I really appreciate your effort in sharing our rich history with the world." This would be a great way to show your appreciation.
You have put so much effort in this video, I really appreciate that. I'am really proud of my tribe, my people and my history and culture. Thank you for covering this untold story and giving it a global platform.
Do you know about the origin of Lahon surname
Many Many thanks for making this video. I am an ahom from assam and have many friends from the ethnicities you mentioned here. The ahom kingdom was the representative of our spirit. Joi ai axom

This video was well worth the wait, excellent work on the story told and graphics being peak.
I'm from Assam, I'm assamese.. the research and explanation is excellent. Liked it.
Hi, kudos to the Odd Compass team for this fantastic video. You have been making epic animations and I used to wonder if you would actually venture into Assam. And you did. Thank you so much, from an Indian and a proud Assamese!
I am a Brahmin, the ones you mentioned in the video when Hinduaization of Ahom kingdom happened, many Brahmin families were specially invited from Kanyakubja or modern day Kannauj.
I thank you for your detailed efforts in the history of this region which used to be passed over in our history books.
The Ahom hero Lachit is honored at the NDA and the best cadet is conferred the Lachit Medal.
Continue the good work.
As an Ahom, thank you for such a detailed video. My knowledge about ahom kingdom was in fragments before .Thanks for stitching them all together beautifully.
My national Ahom (Shan) I am proud to be Ahom Shan our king sukanpa
As a Assamese i respect you guys
Indeed. “Now I know” the real history of my ancestors in my 30 years of existence. Thanks a lot. Lots of respect to you from the north east of India.❤
Iam from tuensang village nagaland.we heard short story from our grand father about ahom.they came to our village and killed many of our brave chang warriors.thank you for untold stories sir
Have you seen how bad ass muay tai is? Of course we would win.
The important points are explained pretty well and even mentioned the Battle of Itakhuli, great!
We need more animated videos on Assam and Indian history. Totally loved it. Thank you so much for making this animated video.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In schools history rarely mentions northeast, when it's mentioned it would be only like 1-2 lines. So I really appreciate you making this video, love learning about my homeland :)
You are not Assamese
@@arpanmandal7244 but I'm northeast Indian, still happy they shared something about northeast India, I don't have to be Assamese to appreciate his video 🤷♀
Dude I swear your video presentation gets better each video
As a bengali I am humiliated that we have popularised people like siraj ud Daula as the last "independent king" of Bengal...but we had far better and kings and dynasties who actually contributed more to the Eastern Indian that those snakes we are taught about in history...its absolutely mind shattering that AHOMS were not even mentioned in our history books (atleast when I was in school)....we are made to read history from a very narrow perspective of romanticizing or starightout villainising fools and not from a practical and analytical pov...I hope my children grow up knowing everything about India..and by that I mean EVERYTHING!
Bengalis should glorify Pala empire instead of glorifying Bengal Sultanate.
Mong or Muang (เมือง) has been the basic unit of Tai-Lao-Kradai polity for millenia. Thai called Sukappha "Sua Ka Fa" (เสือก่าฟ้า).
ขอบคุณมากนะคะที่แบ่งปันความรู้ เป็นประโยชน์มากจริงๆค่ะ🙏🙏
Khop Khun khrap
I'm Naga and after the introduction of Naga's relationship with Ahom, I request you bring a separate video on Naga's history. Thank you
Hallelujah
Faction eman borta. He will need to make a series with 5 seasons 🤣🤣🤣
He won't, since the Nagas did not become Saffronised, like the Ahom did.
Hahahaha look at these 3 above
😂
Wow! What an impressive content quality. The kind of research & effort this guy puts in in his work is next level. A content that even a 8 year can see & learn from. Keep it up bud👍🏽
I’m Assamese and Ahoms are very strong people
Apni ahom naki baidu
As a ahom thank you for telling our history .
In my opinion everyone should this stuff, it's important for all the northeastern people to know the real history of ahom. I'm very happy that you make a video on this topic
Good to know about Ahom kingdom in details. Hope you create a similar video of the history of MANIPUR KINGDOM aka MEITEI KINGDOM, the allies of Ahom, who defeated AVAS (Burmese) . It will be interesting.
A video on pallavas and chalukyas could be great.
Pallava-chalukya rivalry is underrated.
And a video dedicated on harshavardhan.
And I could highly recommend a video on the gupta empire too.
Also on Mughals
Wasn't there a soap opera about the chalukyas on Sony tv or something?
As an Ahom this has to be the best clip on Ahom history on UA-cam. Sadly most of the young generation does not have any knowledge about our history. I recommend them to watch this video and garner at least a minimum knowledge about our history.
As an indian and a Northeast Citizen i am very pleased to say thank you sir I hope this video will help ..other to know about the northeast tribe ..
It's so cool to see your video explaining about the history of a part of India which mostly goes underrepresented. Your video did such an awesome job explaining the ahom dynasty ❤️❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊😊❤️😊⭐⭐🌟🌟🌟
Yes, a new video! I've been really enjoying your guys content :) Keep up the good work
Wow.. as an Assamese...i'm satisfied that it was most accurate video about Assamese history yet
The bravery of Assamese people are often overshadowed by great power like Marathas and rajput
Kind reminder Turkish invaded Assam 3 times they failed then mughals did it numerous times they failed, even arab/ Turkish historian/author and have written about the fighting skills and spirit of Assamese People , Ram Singh himself praised the people
"Each Assamese is an expert in handling cannons, swordsmenship, rowing. Nowhere else in India have I seen such discipline."
- Ram Singh, writing to Aurangzeb after their defeat.
You wouldn't have to write such comments if Siba Singha followed the plans of Rudra Singha.
@@ghs89 unlike rudra singha siva singha along with his wife fuleswari were kattar shakta followers.
@@stynershiner1854t’s makes sense because of the rotatory labour system. Everyone was fairly competent in all basic skills rather than focusing on a single skill for generations like the rest of India due to the caste system . This is why when kingdoms lost their warriors in other kingdoms from the Kshatriya classes , no one else knew how to fight
@@porothashawarma2339all Tai groups know how to fight.
Thank you for creating such an awesome video of the Ahom Kingdom. Hatsoff for your research and presenting it concisely. Love the graphics you have used 👍👍👍
I had no idea that North East India had a kingdom of people who were related to my people the Thai. I find this fascinating.
Lot of Tai people in SEA
China to NE India, Thailand,Vietnam.
Yes, we are here in North East India with Tai/Thai/Dai/Lao legacy!
There are seven Tai groups here in NE
1/ Tai-Ahom
2/ Tai-Khamti
3/ Tai Khamyang
4/ Tai Phake
5/ Tai Aiton
6/ Tai Turing
7/ Tai Lai

Entire India was built by migrations from Outsiders from Greece, Persia, Central Asia, China, Tibet, Southeast Asia, Africa except South India maybe
Really fascinating history
@@Roachh2877 yes when a species call ''Human'' created in earth (a planet), south indian people directly droped from sky to earth 👍

Very cool. love how good the production quality is. Plus the amount of research you have done is impressive. 💯 Do you plan on covering the tribes of NE India?
Proud to be an ahom.. Feels good to get recognition after such a long time.. Finally our great kingdom is getting acknowledgement. ❤
The kings after Rudra Singha were all incompetent
I am so impressed by this video... Thank you so much for making video of our for father's and our golden history 💘💘❤
Lachit Barphukan ~ Mother's brother isn't bigger than country .
Jai Aai Axom❤
Ahom/ Gajapati/ Vijayanagar are the unsung heroes of our past who stemmed the Tsunami of Islamisation.
I agree and don't forget about the Marathas they ended the tyranny of the Chughals.
@@debasishgoswami9896 At the cost of massive raiding and pillaging, becoming the very mlecch they sought to crush
@@Tenisinspector8341 but compared to what Mughals did that was a way less and The difference is That happened when Marathas Epicenter didn't have all the control while the epicenter of Mughals itself was corrupt
@@tempest3927 True.
@@tempest3927 Except Mughals had a stable government primarily due to their location of administrative capitals of Shahjahanabad(Delhi) and Agra, surrounded by defensive forts built on rivers, fertile agricultural lands, improved trade networks and increased the overall wealth of the state( not the average ryot).
Marathas were constantly blitzkrieging throughput the Indian subcontinent, engaging in battle after battle and extra tiny Chuath, sacking rich cities like Surat, Bengal etc, amidst turmoil from rebel nawabs of Bengal, Nizam of Hyderabad (who initially was a governor hand picked by Shah Alam 2, later rebelled).
The Marathas didn’t have much time and not nearly a vast bureaucracy of jagirdars(something which Shivaji had abolished). Their ashtapradhan couldn’t manage everything by their own, especially when the majority of funds were being directed for the war effort. Notably Ahilyabai Holkar engaged in a lot of mandir rebuilding efforts, which were certainly appreciated by the Brahmans, further boosting Maratha legitimacy in Mughal controlled lands of Malwa, Rajputana and Gujarat.
However it all comes back to the point t that an empire without sufficient revenue and resources, being constantly engaged in a state of war, cannot possibly expend enough or adequate resources for bureaucracy, record maintenance and building of infrastructure and society.
Had Marathas actually routed Durrani from Panipat(inspire of them being led by an absolute dumbfuck of a commander and diplomat aka Sadashivrao Bhau), possibly withy he help of Raghunathrao consolidated the northwestern areas of KPK, Punjab and Sindh, then, they would still have to contend with the legitimacy of the Mughal throne, since every rebel state that broke off from Mughals ultimately used their name to engage their legitimacy(Nizaam, Nawabs and even Marathas who minted coins in the name of the Mughal puppet in Delhi).
Assuming this was also done, they would’ve had a hard time incorporating the old bureaucracy which had a ton of jagirdars with the Maratha system which outlawed jagirdars. A jagir from UP won’t give two fucks as to why he should give up his position of authority for “Hindavi Swaraj”, instead they would either have to be removed forcefully or simply instigate the peasants and zamindars enough to rebel against them.
Regardless the Marathas were on the high tide of expansionism during the 1750-1780, reaching the point of saturation, only to get embroiled in more wars against Bri’ish(🤢), Nizam etc, thus never getting the “peace time” to invest in empire building.
