Answer 1

Answer:

The Baro-Bhuyans (or Baro-Bhuyan Raj; also Baro-Bhuians and Baro-Bhuiyans) refers to the confederacies of soldier-landowners in Assam and Bengal in late middle age and early modern period. The confederacies consisted of loosely independent entities, each led by a warrior chief or a landlord (zamindars). The tradition of Baro-Bhuyan is peculiar to both Assam and Bengal[1] and differ from the tradition of Bhuihar of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar[2]—in Assam this phenomenon came into prominence in the 13th century when they resisted the invasion of Ghiyasuddin Iwaj Shah[3] and in Bengal when they resisted Mughal rule in the 16th century.[4]
