Solution
The Ahom kingdom was established by the Ahoms in the 13th century in the present state of Assam. They were powerful rulers and were known for their military tactics and organisational skills. They administered the people under them in the following ways:
(1) Through military services: There were no caste or ethnic barriers in the Ahom kingdom. Almost all the adult males were picked for military services or forced to labour during campaigns; hence the kingdom had a huge army at its disposal.
(2) Through taxation: The Ahom state taxed and organised people by labour levies and produce.
(3) Through land administration: The village community gave lands to the peasants. The king had to take consent of the village community if he required the land for any specific purpose.
Because of these reasons, the regions administered by the Ahoms were mostly peaceful.
