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 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.
@@RahulMehta-eu9yb well technically he is an American citizen of Indian descent from what I have understood from the comments. So he is a westerner in that sense.
Not a single Assamese converted to Islam...... Those who declare themselves as Assamese Muslims are actually Bangladeshi infiltrators..... Trying to mingle in to Assamese society....
@Zahir Hussain - especially when Ahom Kingdom is the longest reigning Empire in all of India.. 600 yrs is no joke
@@phiaklangtangjang5250 indeed!
@Rahul Mehta yeah 6:38
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).

mughaLEMPIRES X Agraaaaaaaaaaaaaa
the fact ahom dynasty ruled for more than 6 centuries and didnt got captured by mughals!! that was one hell of a dynasty and one that doesn't get talked about a lot thankuuu for reall
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,
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.

What is a khar - khua Assamese?
@@chaorajdeepduarah.6969 khar is basically dry banana peels , and i guess she is not Ahom but just an Assamese basically bamuni (aryans) as we can see from her face.
@@chaorajdeepduarah.6969khar is basically burnt dried banana peel used as an alternative to salt made famous by Lachit Borfhukan to mark a stop sign of buying salt from Mughals(ram singh) who were extracting salt from our land and selling us in 2* price. And with that money Mughals were maintaining their arm forces to attack us. Thus lachit Borfhukan used Khar as an alternative of salt to flop their business.
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!

@@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 :)

No offense but Bengalis have done greatly to destroy Northeastern culture. Just look at Tripura or the Manipuri society or whatever remains of the Cachar Kingdom.
Ahom were not Hindus they were follower of tengrism, they used to buried the dead body of the king and queen. They were not even native Indians, no wonder why Indian feel proud about that kingdom
@@notofyourneed5728 Ancient kamrupa kingdom was hindu and they even did ashwamedhā yajña to proclaim there sovereignty from gupta
@@notofyourneed5728 Indians feel proud of them because they came here to not only rule but to integrate with the locals and also to save them from Muslim invasion. So yes, we Indians are proud of them.

As an Ahom, I'm glad to know that our stories and cultures are being said and broadcasted. Joi Aai Axom!!!!!

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.

As an Assamese I am delighted to watch this well researched and wonderfully designed presentation of our history. Many thanks 🙏👍
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. kzhead.info/sun/l5euZZeHe6SpoX0/bejne.html

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).

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 KZhead 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.
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

@@adityachandrasekhar740 Ahoms are more South east Asian than Indo-European.

Actually many Northeast Indians do look like Southeast Asians.
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.
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 girl from the state of Assam in Northeast India, I am extremely impressed by your research and insightful portrayal about the history of our people. Great video 👍

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

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

@@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.
Thanks a lot for covering this topic, It is an important topic but fails to find a little place in our syllabus, even other Indian dynasties like Chola, Chera, Pallava, Pandya, Satavahana, Chalukya, Rashtrakuta, Vijayanagaram has little mention in our history books.

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
@@ramsengar1761 yeah right, i don't know why our own history is taught by invader's perspective Because of these me being a Ahom is very unfortunate to know little to nothing about my own history .
@@deepsikhagogoi5192 but I can see that history of various dynasties is now coming in front of people thanks to social media and internet. Knowing our roots is very important for self confidence
Please bro students will do suicides if they enter it to the syllabus it will get so vast in syllabus 😂
@@mjitkirit6082 Hindus should learn Hindu history like every Muslim learns Islamic story in madarsa
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.
Proud to be an tai ahom ❤️ thanks for making the video 🙏🏻
I am from assam ( northeast india) and I have never expected that some international channel will cover this Thanks
I had the pleasure of visiting Assam and reading the book 'The Ahoms'. I am a big history buff and have come studied extensively about the kingdoms across the world across times. Ahoms occupy a unique place in history. Effing goosebumps learning about their story. Thanks for covering this, big fan of this channel !
Woww! Amazing history of ours delightfully explained❤
You're probably the first youtuber outside of India who made a video on Assams history. Appreciate the effort and the shoutout. Love from Assam. ❤
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 ❤
Wow, you did a better job than any education board in India could have ever. Most mainland Indians are oblivious and intentionally ignorant towards the history of the North-Eastern states. Thanks for taking this up with such great animations & graphics! Kudos to you, my good sir! Joi Aai Axom!
This is indeed a proud moment. Being an Ahom, it gives me immense happiness. Ahom Kingdom was not very well known in India and even now so many people don't even know. We all know about Rajputs, Mughals etc. But Ahom history is not well taught even in schools. There will be chapters about Rajputs and Mughals but even in my school and board there was not a seperate chapter for Ahom history and that too being in Assam.
Long live Assam and Ahoms 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Long live the motherland 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Jai Hind 🇮🇳 Vande matram 🇮🇳

a big thank you! I hail from Assam and have read about Assam's history as an interest (as mainstream educational courses don't have this topic), but apart from what I've read, you've enlarged my knowledge. so thank you.
Greatly impressed by your research and conscise narration.
This was really informative. This make one to read more about their own land. As a State Board student, we didn't have in-depth Assam History up till Class 8. Just like touch-up study of the Indian History through the ages, Ahom Kingdom was also just a chapter. Might be the history students had more to study.
Ahom kingdom defeated aurangzeb 👍🏻👍🏻
We cbse, central board students didn't even get a single chapter on them, instead just hardly a paragraph or so, that too in the chapter on arurangzeb
Are you serious? Because I studied Ahoms in 11th and 12th history. State board.
@@stynershiner1854 Moi Science student asilu and way back in 2001. 😂😂 A little memory also possible 🤪
@@junaid42465 damn your antique piece dude 👀
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.
YOU HAVE MASTERED STORY TELLING USING AFTER EFFECTS!
Great video ,as myself an ahom i really like the way this video covered all the aspects of the ahom history ❤❤
Absolute Gem. Well researched and concise. Covered a lot of important events. The vastness and the greatness of Ahom dynasty should definitely be propagated more and taught in history classes
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 animation is like so good and like everything you say is like so detailed!! As an assamese person it feels really good to see people make these types of videos as it is not very common to see videos of our culture. You seem to put a lot of effort, this video is reslly informative thanks !!
Awesome narrative of rich history of ahom kingdom 😘 Keep up the good work 😇
Thanks for showing the Ahom kingdom in your channel. Indian textbooks barely cover ahom kingdom and other NE kingdoms. But you showed the proper ahom history in a lucid, animated manner. Loved it👍🏻👍🏻
Yes! I see and Odd Compass video, I click. Excited to learn more about the Ahoms from your perspective.
Informative and precise.Glad to come across this channel today
Great video! As an Assamese it's great to re learn our history again after school.
The important points are explained pretty well and even mentioned the Battle of Itakhuli, great!
Besides the story , I love the animation and background audio effect ❤️
Great piece of information laid out by the channel! Proud to be an ahom
Best video yet, the production quality is hitting new heights!
Woah, once again a beautiful (& non-mainstream) topic. Thank You for broadening our knowledge base. Currently, our Indian history textbooks find absolutely zero mention of Ahoms, which is sad. Anyway, keep bringing this noble work. P.S. The Graphics this time was fabulous.
Thanks for this video. It was quite interesting to know about our rich Indian heritage and this topic is something which not many are known about.
Beautiful artwork! Fun, informative, and just plain cool! Please keep up the good work you do on these wonderful videos!
As an Assamese I am amazed/impressed by your video depicting/describing our Ahom Kingdom so concisely and precisely as well as deeper and clear,even our school books and tv channels faill to deliver ,thank you, hats off to you sir, Glory to mother Asaam(জয় আই অসম) JAI AAI ASAM).
This was very informative. The origin of ahoms were always confusing to me. This video makes it much clear.
Thank you for making this video!! Love from assam
Loved the video as always. Another overlooked part of Indian History. I hope you make one on Gurjar Pratihar dynasty soon and also on Shershah Soori.❤❤
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.
Lol pahadi jangli assamee !
Moamoria rebellion wasn't quelled by the British, they helped significantly, but credits must be given to Purnananda Burhagohain.
