The Ahoms migrated to the Brahmaputra Valley in the thirteenth century from the present-day ___________ .

  • A.Myanmar
  • B.Nepal
  • C.Bangladesh
  • D.Bhutan

Answer: A

The Ahoms came from present-day Myanmar.

The Ahoms were a Tai people who migrated into the Brahmaputra valley from what is now Myanmar in the thirteenth century. They created a new state by suppressing the older political system of the bhuiyans (landlords), and ruled Assam for about six centuries, with a strong army and a system of forced labour (paiks).

Their origin lies to the east of Assam, which rules out Nepal and Bhutan in the Himalaya to the north-west and Bangladesh to the south-west.
