The Ahoms
liquidated all petty principali- ties, both within Assam and on the tribal frontier; and
this led to the emergence of one closely-knit geographical unit named Assam. The most
notable achievement of the Ahom rule was this political unification of the country, which
in course of years led to social, cultural and linguistic unity. It also awakened the
spirit of oneness among the Assamese people.
The Ahom kings were great builders. They set apart a good portion of revenue of the State
for the construction of the temples and tanks. Most of these buildings that stand to this
day, though in a ruined state, speak greatly of the artistic taste of the Ahom monarchs. |
