About the tribe: The Ahom or Tai-Ahom is an ethnic group from the Indian states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Even though the already admixed group Ahom made up a relatively small portion of the kingdom's population, they maintained their original Ahom language and practised their traditional religion till the 17th-century.
