Koch dynastyThe Koch dynasty (Pron: kɒʧ; 1515–1949) ruled parts of eastern Indian subcontinent in present-day Assam and Bengal. Biswa Singha established power in the erstwhile Kamata Kingdom which had emerged from the decaying Kamarupa Kingdom. The dynasty came to power by removing the Baro-Bhuyans, who had earlier removed the short-lived rule established by Alauddin Hussain Shah. The dynasty split into three among the descendants of Biswa Singha's three sons; two antagonistic branches Koch Bihar and Koch Hajo and a third branch at Khaspur.
Chutia peopleThe Chutia people (Pron: ˈsʊðiːjaː or Sutia) are an ethnic group that are native to Assam and historically associated with the Chutia kingdom. However, after the kingdom was absorbed into the Ahom kingdom in 1523–24, the Chutia population was widely displaced and dispersed in other parts of Upper Assam as well as Central Assam. They constitute one of the core groups that form the Assamese people. Recent genetic studies have found that in the "tribal" and "caste" continuum, the Chutia people occupy an ambiguous position in the middle, along with the Ahoms and the Rajbanshis.

Mising (peuple)Les Mising ou Mishing, parfois appelés Miri, sont une communauté indigène qui habite certaines parties des États indiens de l'Assam et de l'Arunachal Pradesh. Ils étaient, par le passé, également connus sous le nom de Miris et sont toujours reconnus en tant que Miris dans la Constitution de l'Inde.
