(2) The Chutia or Kachari dynasty continued to hold southern Upper Asam and Sadiya and part of Naugaon (Nowgong), where they built a fortified city called Dimapur; but about the middle of the thirteenth century of the Christian era they were subjugated by hordes of Shans from the south, who, after establishing themselves in Upper Asam, pursued their career of conquest in a westerly direction, and forced the eastern portion of the Ko'cch-Hindu kingdom to submit, whilst the lower or south-west part of Kamrup fell under the sway of the muhammadan rules of Bengal. |
