Detailed Notes

Born in the post-Ahom era, Gomdhar Konwar led one of the earliest known resistance movements against the British in 1828, just after the Treaty of Yandabo (1826) which formally handed Assam to British control. Disturbed by the loss of sovereignty and traditional rule, Gomdhar attempted to restore Ahom authority and mobilized local forces against British administration.
