The Celebrating Ahom:
We established the Ahom kingdom in what is believed to be present-day Assam and ruled it for nearly 600 years. According to historians, our kingdom was called 'Asam' and not 'Ahom'. We are responsible for bringing under one roof the dispersed tribal groups in this region. After the British rule, 'Ahom' as a term appeared to denote a community comprising mainly civil and military officers. We are considered the architects of modern Assam and speak Assamese.
