how did haradutta choudhury revolted against the ahoms
Answers
Answer:
Haradatta Choudhury was revolutionary from Kamrup, now in Assam, India, who fought against oppressive occupation of Kamrup by Ahoms, along with his brother Birdatta Choudhury.
Answer:
In late seventeenth century, Ahoms occupied Kamrup. Their presence was usually marked by cruelty and tyranny. These events led to general discontent, among common people of Kamrup.[2] Ultimately, as a last resort people decided to expel the Ahoms from their lands.[3] The revolt, was born with the leadership of the two brothers Hardatta and Birdatta Choudhury. In about 1798, the brothers raised a small mercenary of Hindustanis and Punjabis, and declared war against the tyrannical occupants.[4]
In spite of a lack of resources, they fought with such a zeal that within a short period they were able to regain all of northern Kamrup. They held Kamrup for some time, then eventually laid down their lives for the cause, against an organised army, but this marked the commencement of the end of interference by Ahoms in Kamrup.
