District de Cachar
Résumé
Cachar district is an administrative district in the state of Assam in India. After independence, the undivided Cachar district was split into four districts in Assam: Dima Hasao district (formerly North Cachar Hills), and Cachar district alongside Hailakandi and Karimganj.
The Kacharis (Kachari kingdom) have given their name to the modern district of Cachar. The Kacharis call themselves Barman in Barak valley and Dimasa in the Dima Hasao district. They were known to the Ahoms as Timisa, a corruption of the word "Dimasa". The Kacharis are allied to the Boro, Koches, Chutias, Lalungs (aka Tiwa), and Morans of the Brahmaputra valley and to the Garos and Tripuras of the southern hills. The Kacharis were perhaps the earliest inhabitants of the Brahmaputra valley and Barak valley. They are identical to the people called ‘Mech’ in Goalpara and North Bengal.
At Dimapur, Dimasa Kachari elder prince Drikpati and younger prince Dakhin had a conflict and the younger prince along with his followers left and built their capital at Barak valley. Dakhin and his followers declared themselves as Dibrasa where Di means "River", Brasa means "Barak" translating to the Children Of The Barak River. Dibrasa later came to be known as Twiprasa who formed the Twipra kingdom in Barak Valley. In 1562, Koch king Chilarai invades and captures Barak valkey from Twipra kingdom. Chilarai gave the charge of the region to his brother Kamalnarayan. The descendants of Kamalnarayan ruled the region until the 18th century. After the fall of the Koch kingdom (due to no heir) the Dimasa Kingdom took charge over of the region and ruled most of the undivided Cachar district. The most powerful King of the Kachari kingdom at Khaspur capital was Raja Shri Krishna Chandra Dwaja Narayan Hasnu Kachari. It is said that during his rule, Manipuri King sought his help against the Burmese Army. Kachari King Krishna Chandra defeated Burmese in the war and in lieu was offered Manipuri Princess Induprabha.
