The Tai Ahom are an ethnic group primarily found in the northeastern region of India, particularly in the state of Assam. They are descendants of the Ahom dynasty, which ruled Assam for nearly 600 years, from the 13th to the 19th century. The Tai Ahom people have a rich cultural heritage, including unique traditions, festivals, and a distinct language known as Ahom. Historically, the Tai Ahom played a significant role in the region's politics and culture. They are known for their contributions to the Brahmaputra Valley civilization and their resistance against various invasions. Today, the Tai Ahom community continues to preserve their traditions while also integrating into the broader Assamese society.
