The Ahom kingdom was established in 1228 CE, by Chao Lung Siu-Ka-Pha. #VeerLachitDivas @PrathibhaP @Prakash12Joshi @Prakash12Joshi @snehasneha173 @SnehaPrakaash @KumariSneha13 @Ragini_bhartiya @RupakalaKamath @ManishKBJP @TDasKumar @monikadas00 @GayatriBGohain @neerangautampic.twitter.com/gxt9vTAI7z

Both the dynasty’s name ‘Ahom’ as well as the region’s name ‘Assam’ comesfrom the word ‘Asama’ or invincible, a local name for this mighty tribe which ruled here for almost 600 years. #VeerLachitDivas @A_D_G13 @TDasKumar @Dushman87833157 @iamArushiGupta @IamDharmenderN @dhwajmpic.twitter.com/pSO6j2M0T3

The Ahoms ruled a rich land. The Brahmaputra valley was rich in timber and elephants and so under constant attack. #VeerLachitDivas @hindustanse @SumanSh58123278 @geeta5579 @Gravim71 @AkramShahBJP @NazlinShaikh @drmonika_langeh @rockhushboo @iNehaBhatt @PidiBuster @56perumalpic.twitter.com/CPbqmo9Odl

Assam was invaded several times by the armies of the Delhi Sultanate in the 16th century with no success. #VeerLachitDivas @rickyjha33 @iamArushiGupta @Amardeepbasu @YaminiChopra @ushachoudhry @KajalSinghChau4 @madhavi_agarwal @vinita_im @kalpna02891469 @KomalKalbhor1 @Reema_bjppic.twitter.com/VuX3O9A4Gg

The only invader, who managed to conquer some parts of Assam was the Mughal Governor of Bengal Mir Jumla who had occupied large parts of the Ahom kingdom including Guwahati and the capital, Garhgaon. #VeerLachitDivas @GayatriBGohain @Gayatri_omm @SuwalkaOm @riyaOmm @iamAnkita_ypic.twitter.com/aDgVWbC7tC

Yet, within five years, the Ahoms took back control of most of the lost territories. #VeerLachitDivas @niravkghelani @KirenRijiju @RijijuOffice @PillaiKinnary @Yashkin5 @NatwarKedia @Keertysharma @kirticharming @RanchiVizag @kushwahPooja19 @impooja23 @pinkyp_actor @VakilBharatipic.twitter.com/2xDNAoTz7m

In August 1667, the Ahom general Lachit Borphukan had recaptured Guwahati. This outraged Mughal emperor Aurangzeb & he sent the Mughal commander Ram Singh of Amer (Jaipur) with a large force in what would be the last Mughal attempt to conquer Assam. #VeerLachitDivas @VoiceOfAxompic.twitter.com/pROXqnV60j
