Question

______ were historical works written by the Ahoms.

Answer 1

Hint: Ahoms were foreign settlers in the state of Assam. They made a deep imprint on the people and culture of Assam. The historical work which is being referred to is also an example of historical literature which is rare in India.

Complete answer:
Buranjis were the historical works written by Ahoms. The Ahom kingdom ruled the area of Assam and its land around its border from the year 1228 to 1826.

The Buranjis, which was considered as their classical historical works or a chronicle in the Assamese language, was written by the Ahoms and later was carried out by their successors. They are known to be the mixed descendants of Tai people who reached and settled in Assam through the Brahmaputra Valley in 1228 and the local indigenous people who joined them over the course of years that came.

Sukaphaa, was known as the leader of the Tai group and he and his 9,000 followers established a huge dynasty known as the Ahom kingdom; it controlled most of the Brahmaputra Valley in modern Assam until the year 1826.

Thus Buranjis were the historical works written by Ahoms.

Note: The modern Ahom people and their culture is considered as a continuation of the original Tai culture and people. local Tibeto-Burman people and the other people who joined them are absorbed in the culture of Assam. The local people of Assam started to adopt the Tai way of life and polity which led them into their fold and came to be known as Ahom. This whole process of adopting Tai principles and culture came to be known as Atomisation.
