[Assam] [asom] Re: Assam or Asom Mailing List

[Dilip/Dil Deka]

Those who fight over retention of ethnic names should read the contents of http://indoeuro.bizland.com/project/chron/chronn.html#3.
   
  It'll numb the clamor when one realizes that we are forever evolving. Since we call ourselves OXOMIYA from OXOM today, so be it. What the dutch soldiiers called OXOM has no relevance today.
   
  I havn't heard a good explanation till today how AHOM and OXOM connect to each other. Since Ahoms are famous for their practice of history writing, isn't there a history book hidden somewhere in XibaXagor that clears this mystery?

  The diary of Dutch soldiers who fought with Mirjumala's army and 
documents from the Mughal period show that the name "Assam" was in 
use before the British came to India. Then why change the name from 
Assam to Asom. What is the reason?
