This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of a region often overlooked in traditional accounts of India. Focusing on a territory known as Kamarupa, encompassing modern-day Assam and parts of Bengal, the author unravels a rich tapestry of civilizations and dynasties that existed for centuries. The book explores the complex interplay of language, culture, and race that shaped the people of this region. The author analyzes evidence from ancient inscriptions, religious texts, and the accounts of foreign travellers to trace the arrival of various tribal groups, including the Dravidians, the Indo-Chinese, and the Aryans. The book examines how these groups interacted, assimilated, and ultimately shaped the cultural landscape of Kamarupa. The author also recounts fascinating tales of legendary kings and rulers, delving into myths and folklore. The book examines the rise and fall of powerful dynasties, including those of Narak, Bhagdatta, and Arimatta, shedding light on their cultural practices, political strategies, and eventual decline. The book also explores the gradual influence of Hinduism on the indigenous communities, and the development of the unique Tantric traditions in the region. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this book offers an invaluable insight into the often-overlooked history of Assam, revealing the region's unique cultural heritage and its significant role in the broader narrative of India's past.
