It provided the necessary resources, defenses, and transportation networks, allowing early societies to grow and flourish. States that were able to successfully harness these environmental features were often able to consolidate power and rule for a long run. The Ahoms, a migrant ethnic group, formed a powerful state in Assam from the 13th to 19th century, and their success was largely dependent on their ability to mobilize the natural resources of the region. This study will focus on the Ahom’s agendas regarding mobilization of natural resources and how they utilized these resources to build a strong and prosperous state. This article contributes to our understanding of the ways in which human societies can utilize natural resources and offers valuable insights into the ecological history of the Brahmaputra Valley.KEYWORDS: Ahom statenatural resourceresource mobilizationstate formationpre-colonial assamenvironmental history AcknowledgmentsWe are thankful to the Editor and the Reviewers for their insightful and quick comments on the earlier draft of this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

Contemporary North-east Indian literature relentlessly delineates a unique portrayal of the customary set of traditions, beliefs, customs, behaviors, responses or reactions to different situations and ways of life of the concerned tribal groups in their usual socio-cultural milieu. This article explicates the aspects of ethno-spirituality manifested in the select works of Mamang Dai and Easterine Kire as the postcolonial resistance. The purpose of this article is also to reinterpret Mamang Dai’s The Black Hill (2014) and Easterine Kire’s Sky is My Father: A Naga Village Remembered (2018) within the broad postcolonial framework of ‘ethno-spirituality’ to trace and reconstruct their ethnic identity as their cultural heritage, spiritual values, and cultural richness as a frame of reference to indigeneity and belief system.KEYWORDS: Ethno-spiritualityPostcolonialNorth-east Indian LiteratureHistoryEthnic identity AcknowledgmentsI would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the anonymous reviewers for their valuable insights and constructive suggestions.

It is situated 30 km east of the Pasighat District headquarters. According to Census 2011, there are 1547 inhabitants in the village (villageinfo.in 2021).13. ‘Mishmee’ or ‘Mishmi’, Indigenous folks mostly of Arunachal Pradesh (previously North East Frontier Agency), dwell in the North-East of India, near Assam and Tibet. They speak vernaculars of the ‘Tibeto-Burman linguistic family’ (britannica.com 2021). The natives of the Mishmee region identify themselves as ‘Kmaan, Taraon, and Idu people, and the term “Mishmee” was alien to them … Kmaan, distinct from Taraon whom Kmaan knew as Tah-wrath or Chimmu, and the Idu clans whom they called Mindow and who occupied the territories further south and northwest’ (Dai, The Black Hill, 7).14. The Ao Naga tribes are major Indigenous native groups of people who dwell in Mokokchung district of Nagaland in Northeast India. They are not homogenous, and consist of six major groups, such as Pongen, Longkumer and Jamir of Chungli group; and Imchen, Walling, and Longchar of Mongsen group.
