Phil Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin December, 2015 A Region in a Mobile World: Integration of Southeastern sub-Himalayan Region into the Global Capitalist Economy (1820-1900) By Abikal Borah, M.A. University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Mark Metzler Abstract: This essay considers the history of two commodities, tea in Georgian England and opium in imperial China, with the objective of explaining the connected histories in the Eurasian landmass. It suggests that an exploration of connected histories in the Eurasian landmass can adequately explain the process of integration of southeastern sub-Himalayan region into the global capitalist economy. In doing so, it also brings the historiography of so called “South Asia” and “East Asia” into a dialogue and opens a way to interrogate the narrow historiographical visions produced from area studies lenses. Furthermore, the essay revisits a debate in South Asian historiography that was primarily intended to reject Immanuel Wallerstein’s world system theory. While explaining the historical differences of southeastern sub-Himalayan region with peninsular India, Bengal, and northern India, this essay problematizes the South Asianists’ critiques of Wallerstein’s conceptual model.

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.

CHAPTERV THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF ASSAM AND DISINTEGRATION OF THE OLD ORDER The Treaty of Yandabu (24th February, 1826) which marked the conclusion of the first Anglo-Burmese war also forms a dividing line between end of one age and the beginning of another in the history of Assam. Assam now entered into what can be termed as the modem age. Historically, political modernization is referred to the totality of changes in the political structure, 1 affected by major transformations in all aspects of administration. The advent of the British to ushered in radical changes in the entire pre-British political structure. This chapter is devoted to an analysis of the British system vis-a-vis that of the Ahom. It is, therefore, most relevant to recount Article 2 of the Treaty, which runs thus: "His Majesty, the King of Ava renounces all claims upon, and will abstain from all future interference with, the principalities of Assam and its dependencies, and also with the contiguous petty states of Cachar and Jyntea. With regard to Manipur it is stipulated that, should Gambhir Singh desire to return to that country, he shall be recognised by the King of Ava as Raja thereof'.2 The above Article does not bear any indirect or oblique recognition of the East India Company's right to establish its political control over the principalities of Assam, and Manipur. What in fact occured was that the East India Company 145 stepped in to fill the political vacuum created by the Burmese withdrawal. The British first settled the question of Manipur as the security in the North-East lay to a great extent on the establishment of a strong ruler in Manipur to serve as a buffer between the British Indian empire and Burma.

International Journal of History & Scientific Approach
International Journal of History & Scientific Approach History and Culture: A Study on the Importance of the Place Names of Chandrapur Rosie Patangia Assistant Professor and Head, Deptt of English, Narangi Anchalik Mahavidyalaya, Narengi, Guwahati-171, Dist: Kamrup (Metro), Assam, India & Ph.D Research Scholar, Folklore Department, Gauhati University, Guwahati- 781014, Assam, India Abstract: History has its culture. Every place is denoted by a name. Each place name carries its own culture and tradition. The memory of a place is deeply embedded in its history, historical characters, legendary heroes, historical events etc. Assam in general and Kamrup in particular is rich in its culture and history. The place names speak of the past history of that place and helps in building identity. In Assam, we find innumerable places connected with oral narratives, folk beliefs, culture, history, myths, and legends. The present paper is an attempt to study the place names of Chandrapur and its cultural and historical significance. Key words: History, Culture, Place, Names, Chandrapur, historical significant. Introduction Every place from the macrocosm to the microcosm embodies its community, history and culture. Robert Murphy (1986) highlights that “Culture means the total body of tradition borne by a society and transmitted from generation to generation.” The Oxford English Dictionary (2007) defines a ‘place’ as a ‘particular position or area or a portion of space occupied by or set aside for someone or something’. It defines a ‘name’ as ‘a word or words by which someone or something is known.”Each place has its own cultural and historical background. While the term ‘cultural’ refers to the ideas, customs and social behavior of a society, the word ‘historical’ relates to past events or history.

Tai Ahom Tradition and Culture Vis- a -Vis Thai Culture: an In-Depth Analysis
13TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THAI STUDIES GLOBALIZED THAILAND? CONNECTIVITY, CONFLICT AND CONUNDRUMS OF THAI STUDIES 15-18 JULY 2017, CHIANG MAI, THAILAND Tai Ahom Tradition and Culture vis- a -vis Thai Culture: an In-depth Analysis Gogoi, Hironmoni Borgohain Namrup College, Dibrugarh University Assam India -------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract The Study is an attempt to understand some of the basic Tai traits and traditions interweaved in the lives of the Tai Ahom people in Assam, India and trying to relate them to the Thai culture which forms the essence of life in Thailand. The Tai Ahoms living in India and the Thais living in Thailand and all other Tai communities are the inheritors of the ancient Tai Culture and Civilization which could make an impress on world civilization almost five thousand years ago and persists till date. Because of migration to different parts of the world, occasioned by varied factors, they have been influenced by various social, cultural and religious factors in their new places of habitation - wherein they had adapted and assimilated themselves. Though they still carry with them their Tai cultural legacies, which are deeply embedded in their psyche and their way of life, they are not very aware of the underlying cultural and philosophical significances. Therefore, studies which attempt to identify and probe into these basic traits appear to be an urgent necessity for Tai/ Thai culture to be rediscovered, interpreted, understood, and analyzed to keep them alive, vibrant, and universal for contribution to the world of knowledge. The Methodology will be the Qualitative Approach and focus basically on the Primary Sources like religious rituals of birth, death, marriage, work culture, monuments, music and dance, manuscripts, interviews etc.
