A History of Assam c16.5

c16.5

Dearth of trustworthy information. There are no written records of Kachāri rule, and the traditions current amongst the people consist of little more than long lists of kings, on the accuracy of which it is impossible to rely. According to Fisher the Kachāris of North Cachar believe that they once ruled in Kāmarupa, and their royal family traced its descent from Rajas of that country, of the line of Hā-tsung-tsā. The only trustworthy information regarding their past history is contained in the Buranjis which deal primarily with the history of the Ahoms. The details which they contain are, however, almost entirely confined to a narrative of the wars which were waged between the two nations. These have already been described in the chapters on Ahom rule, and will be referred to only briefly here.
