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 modernday 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!
