Question

why did the power of ahoms decline in the latter half of the 18 Th century ? in about 60 words

Answer 1

Basically it started with the Moamoria rebellion, an event that precipitated the decline of the Ahom kingdom. One of the factors was the failure of the traditional Paik system to adapt to the rapidly changing economic and social aspirations. For the Ahom rulers, the Paik system was the foundation on which they based their administration, their kingdom, their society.
