Answer:
Chaolung Sukaphaa (r. 1228–1268), also Siu-Ka-Pha, the first Ahom king in medieval Assam, was the founder of the Ahom kingdom. A Tai prince[1] originally from Mong Mao, the kingdom he established in 1228[citation needed] existed for nearly six hundred years and in the process unified the various indigenous ethnic groups of the region that left a deep impact on the region. In reverence to his position in Assam's history the honorific Chaolung is generally associated with his name (Chao: lord; Lung: great).

The kingdom of Ahom was founded by the first king Sukaphaa of Ahom who came from Mong Mao and invaded the valley of Brahmaputra via the rugged mountaintop of Patkai.
Explanation:
- Sukapha was a ruler of the 13th century, who established six centuries of Ahom reign over Assam. The chief of the Ahoms was Sukapha. With around 9 000 followers in the 13th century, Sukapha entered the "Brahmaputra valley" in Assam from "Upper Burma". In Charaideo, Sukapha set up his first small kingdom and planted the seeds for the future expansion of the kingdom of Ahom.
- Many of the Sukapha people were men. The men later married women from communities living in Assam.Sukapha had very good relations with the tribal groups living in this area – in particular with the Morans, Kacharis, & Sutias. Intermarriage also increased the process of assimilation. The importance of Sukapah — notably in today's Assam — has been his productive endeavors to assimilate numerous cultures and tribes. He's commonly regarded as the "Bor Asom" or "Great Assam" architect.
- Sukapha "conquered the "entire upper Assam region", to the "south west" & to the east at the border of "Upper Burma" to the Patkai Area, & established "Charaideo", his capital, in the "modern Sibsagar" district. He also had invaded all the nations that had been on the way from ""Upper Burma to the "east edge" of Upper Assam. In his ancient home in Upper Burma, he had fellowship with his brother rulers & he gave the gold & silver gifts.
- He took conciliatory steps against the rival kings in order to make the Ahom kingdom lasting and powerful, in terms of respect. In the vassal state, he called Katakis for a strong friendship that was crucial for the establishment, development and success of his new regime. Sukapha named his assistants as two secretaries, Buragohain and Borgohain who exerted considerable influence with the King in all the affairs of the kingdom.
- In keeping with their thoughts and tradition, Sukapa had taken "facilitatory measures" for the native people of Assam. With all men, he was fair. He didn't compete with others who accepted his dominance. Just like many other Indian invaders, Sukapha was not a raider. His military expedition was unknown to pillage & loot. He was a bold builder of a nation from the expedition. He placed the administration of each of the nation that he had conquered on his way to Assam in the hands of his nobles.
