Delving into the 13th to 18th centuries, this book unveils the socio-political and economic ties forged between the Ahom kingdom and Naga hill tribes. Discover how the Ahom monarchy established a policy of conciliation and appeasement, utilizing trade routes and ‘duar markets’ facilitated by Ahom officials.

This work reconstructs centuries of fluctuating friendship, hostility, and enculturation, culminating in the emergence of the Nagamese pidgin language.
