Question
Ahom society
✓
Answer
Ahom society was divided into clans. Each of their clans was called Khel.
Many villages were controlled by Khel. The land given to the farmers by village community could not
be taken back even by the king without consent of village community.
Initially, the Ahoms worshipped tribal deitics (Gods of nature). Ahom king donated land to temples, brahmins, poets and scholars.
Hinduism became the main religion during the reign of Sibsinh $(1714\ AD$ to $1744\ AD)$. Despite adopting Hinduism, the Ahom kings did not entirely leave their own traditional beliefs.
They promoted the dramatics. At that time, important literary works of Sanskrit were translated into the local language. The historical work 'Buranji' was written first in Ahom language and then in Assamese language.
