[edit] Ahom history

This article is a very fine example of what the category Category:History of Assam seeks to collect. Thank you.

I would suggest that this article be moved to Ahom-Mughal conflicts because it deals specifically with this topic. At a later date when we do have Ahom history covering the entire history from 1228 to 1826 in a broad overview format in the style of History of Assam, we may then include Ahom-Mughal conflicts as a main article link to a subtopic of the Ahom history page. If you do agree, please indicate it, and I shall move the article.

Thanks,

The article has been moved. --Chaipau 19:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ahom capitals

It might be nice to put up a list of Ahom capitals, from Charaideo to Jorhat. Who constructed which capital and when were they capitals. Could you help with this? --Chaipau 19:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New articles

Thank you for your edits. When you create new articles, please create them properly. An example would be the way that I have improved your article Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. Please fix Assam Engineering College and the Cotton College, and any others. Hu 13:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


Done!

[edit] Atan Burhagohain

I have moved the page Atan Buragohain to Atan Burhagohain. This wiki has used the spelling Burhagohain consistently and I think it should stick to it. Also, could you supply a reference to the article please? Before it gets flagged? Thanks.

[edit] King Rajeshvara of Assam

In an article I am working on for Bhagya Chandra, it refers to a King Rajeshvara of the Ahom Kingdom who ruled around the 1760's or so. Do you know more about this person?Bakaman Bakatalk 01:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Namaskar, Bhagya Chandra is up on articlespace. Even if you just make a stub for King Rajeshvara (I would, but I dont know his Oxomiya name) it would be useful, so that I can make the Bhagya Chandra article ready for "Did you know" section on main page. Bakaman Bakatalk 01:05, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

On another note, I noticed you made a few pages on Hindu temples, to mark your stub as a Hindu temple stub use {{Hindu-temple-stub}}, also (if you have enough info) use Template:Infobox Mandir to make the info on Hindu temple pages across wiki more streamlined. Bakaman Bakatalk 01:05, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I put links to Ching-Thang Khomba and Chitsai on the Rajeshvar Singha article.Bakaman Bakatalk 15:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Help

I noticed Ching-Thang_Khomba#The_Retaking_of_Manipur and Rajeswar_Singha#Expedition_to_Manipur should ttalk about the same thing . Is there a source you have for this section (a Buranji perhaps) ? Since the Suramphaa article has the better info, I'll rewrite the section onto the Jai Singh page.Bakaman Bakatalk 19:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I rewote most of the suramphaa section on the Jai Singh page.Bakaman Bakatalk 21:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Replies

I found a downloadable copy of A History of Assam here. I dont have anything making a definite connection Srimanta Shankardeva to Jai Singh (though he was definitely an influence). Hinduism came to Manipur via Sylhet, so it is a possibility.If you look at List of Meitei kings, I think the first or second kings are during Srimanta's time.For the article, I've mostly relied on websites, because I dont have much access to books.Bakaman Bakatalk 15:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Another Source - Tungkhungia Buranji or a History of Assam, 1681-1826 A. D.: An Old Assamese Chronicle of the Tungkhungia Dynasty of Ahom Sovereigns by S. K. Bhuyan - Geographical Journal, Vol. 84, No. 6 (Dec., 1934), p. 525

I cant open it though because I dont have a JSTOR account (its free if youre at a major American university).Bakaman Bakatalk 16:02, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cremation of Rudra Singha

The cremation of Rudra Singha at North Guwahati is disputed by historians. Padmeshwar Gogoi (1968, The Tai and the Tai kingdoms, p509) writes:

On the death of Rudra Singha his eldest son, Barjana Gohain, who was at Gauhati with his father, sailed up with the dead body of the deceased king and ascended the throne at Rangpur. The body was embalmed at Chungpura for a fortnight and, according to the Changrung Phukanar Buranji, entombed in the month of Kartik and not cremated as some accounts say.

Could you please cite this as well as your source at the various places Rudra Singha's cremation is mentioned.
