The Ahoms, the descendants of the Shan dynasty (of China), inhabited the Assam valley during medieval times. The Ahoms, together with the Shans of Burma and Eastern China and the Siamese, were members of the Tai race. The state of Assam is believed to derive its name from this dynasty. King Sukapha of this dynasty invaded Assam from the east in 1228. The successors of Sukapha ruled the region for a century and a half. They gradually extended their power westward, down the valley of the Brahmaputra. <b>During the reign of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, the Ahom kings ruled the entire Brahmaputra valley</b>. The dynasty attained the height of its power under King <b>Rudra Singh</b>, who is said to have ascended the throne in 1695.

Hello PC,
Ahom kings used the last name Singh: such as King Rudra Singh and so on.
Also there was a buddhist named Rinchin in medieveal Kashmir who was ruling Kashmir. He wanted to become Hindu as most of the population at that time was Hindu in Kashmir. The Hindu monks told him (who is a king of entire Kashmir) that they cannot make him a Hindu as they cannot decide what his "Jaati" would be.
As a consequence Rinchin converted to Islam (by Bulbul Shah) which had no such pre condition and became known to the world as Sultan Sadruddin. This happened in 1320 A.D.
So are there any theories on how Ahom became Hindu? Or have we exhausted all research in finding that perhaps people like Lachit were really Bhartiya?
