    The Forgotten Saga of Rangpur's Ahoms

    High Technology Letters ISSN NO : 1006-6748 The Forgotten Saga of Rangpur’s Ahoms - An Ethnographic Approach Barnali Chetia, PhD, Assistant Professor, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara, India. Department of Linguistics Abstract- Mong Dun Shun Kham, which in Assamese means xunor-xophura (casket of gold), was the name given to the Ahom kingdom by its people, the Ahoms. The advent of the Ahoms in Assam was an event of great significance for Indian history. They were an offshoot of the great Tai (Thai) or Shan race, which spreads from the eastward borders of Assam to the extreme interiors of China. Slowly they brought the whole valley under their rule. Even the Mughals were defeated and their ambitions of eastward extensions were nipped in the bud. Rangpur, currently known as Sivasagar, was that capital of the Ahom Kingdom which witnessed the most glorious period of its regime. Rangpur or present day sivasagar has many remnants from Ahom Kingdom, which ruled the state closely for six centuries. An ethnographic approach has been attempted to trace the history of indigenous culture and traditions of Rangpur's Ahoms through its remnants in the form of language, rites and rituals, religion, archaeology, and sacred sagas. Key Words- Rangpur, Ahoms, Culture, Traditions, Ethnography, Language, Indigenous I. Introduction “Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.” -P.B Shelley Rangpur or present day Sivasagar was one of the most prominent capitals of the Ahom Kingdom.

    Foreword I am greatly pleased to introduce the inaugural issue of “rediscovering Assam- An Endeavour of DPS Guwahati” . The need for familiarizing the students with the rich historical background, unique geographical features and varied flora and fauna of Assam had long been felt both by the teaching fraternity as well as the parent community.

The book which has three parts will cater to the learning requirement of the students of classes VI, VII, VIII.

INTRODUCTION Cultural tourism has a special place in India because of its past civilisation. Among the various motivating factors governing travel in India, cultural tourism is undoubtedly the most important. For any foreigner, a visit to India must have a profound cultural impact and in its broader sense, tourism in India involves quite a large content of cultural content. It also plays a major role in increasing national as well as international good will and understanding. Thousands of archaeological and historical movements scattered throughout the country provide opportunites to learn about the ancient history and culture.

Thus, it can be very well said that there remains a lot of potential for the progress of cultural tourism in India.

It is a mini India where diverse ethnic and cultural groups of Aryans, Dravidians, Indo-Burmese, Indo Tibetan and other races have lived together since time immemorial.

Dr. Montu Chetia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bihu is a national festival of Assam celebrated by all sections of the society irrespective of caste, creed and religion. The Bihu is the identity of Assamese people in all over the country. It is also the symbol of unity among the people of the state. There are three kinds of Bihu generally observed in Assam- Bohag Bihu or Rongali Bihu, Magh Bihu or Bhogali Bihu and Kati Bihu or Kongali Bihu. Every Bihu has its own features and characteristics which have enriched the cultural prosperity of Assam as well as the whole north eastern region . On the other hand although Bihu is the national festival of Assam yet it varies in form from place to place which have developed the cultural diversity of the state. This paper is an attempt to understand the different rites and rituals of the Kati Bihu or Kongali Bihu among the various tribes of Lakhimpur district as well as whole north bank area of upper Assam and their changes and continuity. KEY WORDS: Kati Bihu, rites and rituals, changes and continuity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: Culture is the soul as well as identity of a society.
