Which of the following medieval texts or chronicles provides detailed accounts of the diplomatic relations, military conflicts, and economic exchanges between the Ahom kingdom and the hill tribes inhabiting modern Arunachal Pradesh?

A. Akbarnama
B. Ahom Buranjis✓ Correct Answer
C. Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri
D. Padshahnama

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Ahom Buranjis, written in the Ahom and Assamese languages, serve as comprehensive historical chronicles detailing the political, military, and diplomatic history of the Brahmaputra valley, including exhaustive accounts of interactions with the hill tribes of Arunachal Pradesh. Mughal chronicles like the Akbarnama and Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri focus primarily on imperial affairs and imperial campaigns in northern and central India, touching only briefly on Assam during Mir Jumla's invasion. The Buranjis represent an indigenous historiographical tradition unparalleled in medieval India.
