Mir Jumla invaded the Ahom kingdom and occupied the Ahom capital, Garhgaon. A treaty was signed between him and the Ahom kingdom in 1663. When did Ahoms forced the Mughals to given up Koch Hajo and accept the river Manas as the boundary? Correct Answer 1681

  • Mir Jumla II invaded the Ahom kingdom in January 1662 and left it in January–February 1663.
  • He was able to occupy Garhgaon, the Ahom capital, before the beginning of the rainy season, but he and his army were confined mostly to Garhgaon and Madhupur during that period.
  • The Ahom king Sutamla had to take flight and hide in Namrup during Mir Jumla's occupation of the capital. The defection of Baduli Phukan, a high ranking Ahom commander, precipitated the Treaty of Ghilajharighat in January 1663, with the Ahom king accepting tributary status. Mir Jumla died on his way back before he could reach Dhaka, his capital.
  • Ahoms forced the Mughals in 1681 to give up Koch Hajo and accept the river Manas as the boundary.
  • Ahom–Mughal conflicts refer to the period between the first Mughal attack on the Ahom kingdom in 1615 and the final Battle of Itakhuli in 1682.
  • The intervening period saw the fluctuating fortunes of both powers and the end of the rule of Koch Hajo. 
  • It ended with the Ahom influence extended to the Manas river which remained the western boundary of the kingdom till the advent of the British in 1681.
