Dipankar Mohan

Abstract :

Quest for own identity has been a universal phenomenon among all ethnic groups in all over the world.  Today each and every community is trying hard to maintain their traditional heritage. In the post–colonial period expression of own identity based on religion, tradition, language, common origin and other cultural elements has been found among several ethnic groups in the north east India. The Ahoms were not different from this. They also started campaign to preserve their tradition and cultural heritage which resulted in the formation of several organizations which fought for the cause of Ahom Revivalism. This paper tries to trace the importance of Ahom Priestly clans in Ahom Revival Movement.
