- 88 p.
This book tries to critically examine almost all the major aspects of the Ahom culture, on the basis of the empirical data supplemented by secondary sources of information. Providing a historical perspective, it analyses the process of change which the Ahom had to undergo to become what they are today. It also makes an in depth study of their social organisation, with special emphasis on their commensal relations, beliefs and practices, rites and rituals, kinship and community life. The book will be of great interest to the scholars and students of culture studies.
