    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 .

      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.

      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 :)

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).

    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.

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.

    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.

      @@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.

    Our village," Norakonwar", derives its name from 'Nora' meaning straw and 'Konwar' meaning prince. The village is said to have earned this name after an Ahom prince and his entourage built straw shelters during their expansion of territory to the south of Brahmaputra. specially the dhansiri region, which was hotspot for ahom-dimasa/kachari conflicts.

Nora is just the the neighbouring region of modern day Nagaland on the other side of the Patkai range. Ahoms came through that region. Even during Ahom reign there was trade relations between the Noras and Ahoms. Nora dhari, Nora Bogori are the products of Nora kingdom. So, not sure about your explanation as many thing in Assam related to Nora referred to product of Nora Kingdom

      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.
