Abstract:
To evaluate the economic condition of Ahom people during 1526-1707, various aspects related to Assam have to be observed which include climate of Assam, area expansion of Assam, production, people of Assam, economic system of Assam, currency system, agricultural system, urbanization etc. aspects have to be evaluated. During the period 1526-1707, many Mughal attacks were made on Assam due to which the situation of ups and downs continued and ultimately the Ahom people got victory in 1681 AD. The Mughal-Assamese contact that was established during the Mughal period brought out many new facts in which Assamese administration, military power, weapons, various situations of war which arose due to the geographical structure and natural climate of Assam were observed. To clarify the facts related to Assam-Mughal relations during the Mughal period, it is important to review all the facts related to Assam during the period 1526-1707.
