Chandrakanta Singha

₹225.00 -10% Off ₹250.00

In the final days of the Ahom Kingdom, the 37th ruler — Chandrakanta Singha emerged as the last bastion of Ahom Glory against the Burmese invaders that ravaged Assam in the early 19th century. This groundbreaking historical account re- examines the cataclysmic Burmese Invasions, spotlighting the heroic resistance of diverse tribes and communities: Karbis, Mishings, Muslims, Sikhs, and more. For the first time, it unveils the Tiwa warriors' decisive victories over the invaders and celebrates the vital role of Assam's women in the fight. The invasions culminated in British intervention, which led to the Treaty of Yandabo on February 24, 1826, ceding Assam to Company rule. Ahom leaders like Gomdhar Konwar, Piyali Phukan and Jiuram Baruah ignited fierce rebellions against the Company for independence. Early British reforms in the Assamese society are also discussed — like the spread of Christianity across the land, educational upliftment, and the Assam tea industry's beginning. The work dismantles the long- held myths of Burmese invincibility and the singular blame assigned to Badan Borphukan for the downfall of the Ahom Kingdom. It is a stirring narrative of Assam's valor, collective resilience, and the profound transformations that defined a new era.
