A History of Assam c3.6

c3.6

The researches of Blochmann have thrown much light on the Muhammadan invasions of Assam, and the late Sir James Johnstone compiled from records in the Foreign Department of the Government of India a detailed narrative of the expedition of Captain Welsh to Assam in 1793 A.D., and of the causes which led up to it. When I was Sub-Divisional Officer of Mangaldai, in the Darrang District, I caused a translation to be prepared of the Bansābali, or family history, of the Darrang Rajas, which contains a great deal of information regarding the Koch dynasty, and gave an analysis of it in a paper contributed to the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.
