1) Ahoms established themselves as rulers of Assam in 1228 AD after fighting numerous wars with local rulers of Assam composed of Indoaryan people as well as tribes like kacharis who are mongoloids.

2) First foreign invasion to Assam was led by Bakhtiyar Khilji who was a slave of Qutubuddin Aibak(Ghori’s general) and was routed by kamrupa ruler Prithu(Visvasundaradeva was his real name) and he was not ahom.

3) So, the Afghan, Turk & Mughal invaders were defeated by local Hindu Assamese warriors and later Ahoms fought and defeated them. Thus 17 times they were defeated not only by Ahoms but you should say Assamese( both ahoms and other Assamese groups which were both Indo-Aryan e.g, Kayastha etc and mongoloids eg Kacharis etc.

Dear webpage admins,

Get your facts right. Ahoms were not Hindu as you have mentioned. Ahoms adopted Hinduism later on. But it was never the way you have tried to portray. The war was all about protecting one’s own country rather than a Hindu fighting against the Muslim invaders. By the way the right hand man of Lachit Barphukan was a Muslim man, Ismail Siddiqui aka Bagh Hazarika. Moreover, people of Assam are not concerned with your idea of Hinduism. If you look back in time you will find India was never a Hindu nation per definition. It was a later construct. Assam was never a part of India. Only in 1826 the British made it a part of India. So do not try to portray us in your Hindu chauvinistic way.
