Video Description

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!
