Description
This scholarly work presents a detailed history of Assam during one of its most turbulent periods, focusing on the reign of Atan Buragohain and the region’s conflicts with Mogul forces. Compiled primarily from indigenous Assamese sources by historian Suryya Kumar Bhuyan, the book provides invaluable insights into the military, political, and cultural dynamics of 17th-century Assam.
The narrative spans from the invasion of Nawab Mir Jumla II in 1662-63, which marked a significant turning point in Assamese history, to 1682 when the prolonged Assam-Mogul conflicts finally concluded. Through meticulous research and reliance on primary Assamese documentation, Bhuyan illuminates the strategies, key figures, and pivotal events that shaped this critical era. Essential reading for those interested in medieval Indian history, Assamese heritage, and the region’s struggle for autonomy.
