The Ahom people

The Ahoms established their kingdom in Assam under King Sukaphaa in 1228. They ruled till 1826. Sukaphaa was very humble and he befriended with the local tribes Moranis and the Borahis. The Ahoms were a TaiMongoloid people who migrated to Assam from Yunan province of China. His followers originally later married into the Morani and Borahi peoples. King Suhungmung adopted the Hindu name 'Swarga Narayan' and later all the Ahom kings were called Swargadeo (lord of the heavens) in the Assamese language. The Ahom kings were called Chao-pha in the Tai language. The Ahoms prevented Mughal expansion in Assam. The Ahom power came nearly to an end because of the civil wars led their resources to an end. The Burmese then invaded Assam and forced the King to leave the Kingdom and set up a Puppet King. The Burmese were then defeated by the British in the first Anglo-Burmese war. And this is how Assam came under the British Domination. The Ahom people are now in the Assamese society. The Gond people Akbarnama, the official chronicle of Mughal emperor Akbar's reign, refers to the Gond Kingdom as Garh Katanga and having 70,000 villages in India. The Gond people are people in central India, spread over the states of Madhya Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra (Vidarbha), Chhattisgarh, northern Andhra Pradesh, and Western Orissa. With over four million people, they are the largest tribe in Central India. The Gondi language is related to Telugu and other Dravidian languages. About half of Gonds speak Gondi languages, while the rest speak Indo-Aryan languages including Hindi. The Gonds have scheduled tribe status in most of the Indian states. The Gond are also found in Uttar Pradesh (UP). The UP Gond are divided into seven sub-groups, the Dev Gond, Dholi, Kolan, Kailabhut, Mudipal, Padal and Raj Gond. Traditionally, the Raj Gond had a higher status, and were rulers of a number of states in the region.s
