Describe the administrative of gonds & ahoms.

Dear Student,

Administration of  the Ahoms:

  • They migrated to the Brahmaputra valley from present-day Myanmar in the thirteenth century. 
  • They created a new state by suppressing the older political system of the bhuiyans (landlords). 
  • During the sixteenth century, they annexed the kingdoms of the Chhutiyas (1523) and of Koch-Hajo (1581) and subjugated many other tribes. 
  • The Ahoms built a large state, and for this they used firearms as early as the 1530s. By the 1660s they could even make high- quality gunpowder and cannons.
  • Those forced to work for the state were called paiks.Each village had to send a number of paiks by rotation.
  • Almost all adult males served in the army during war.
  • Ahom society was divided into clans or khels.
  • They worshipped their own tribal gods.

 The Ahoms, who ruled Assam for six centuries are the descendants of ethnic Tai people who accompanied the Tai prince Sukaphaa into Assam. And for this reason people of this community call themselves the Tai-Ahom. Sukaphaa established the Ahom kingdom (1228-1826) and the Ahom dynasty ruled and expanded the kingdom for about 600 years. Many of those who accompanied Sukaphaa were unaccompanied males who married into the local communities. Some ethnic communities, like the Tibeto-Burman speaking Borahi people, were completely subsumed into the Ahom community. Members of other communities, based on their allegiance to the Ahom kingdom and their talents, were accepted as Ahoms. The kingdom the Ahom people established gave Assam its name.The Gondi, Goindi (Gōndi) or 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[2], while the rest speak Indo-Aryan languages including Hindi.
