CHOKLONG || THE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE SYSTEM OF TAI AHOM

#THE_ILLUSIONS #CHOKLONG Traditional Chak-long marriage ceremony Ancient India was a unique melting pot for various communities of Asia such as Scynthians, Shungas, Bactrians, Parthians, Kushanas, etc. All of them contributed to the uniqueness of India that we see today. Some stayed back, completely mixing with the Indian cultural fabric; some went away taking the vastness of Indian culture along with them. Around the early 12th century, Northeast India experienced the advent of a new group of people, the Tai Ahoms, who changed and moulded the history of the region forever. The group stayed back, mesmerized by the natural beauty of the region and its unmatched fertile alluvial soils which was enriched annually by the mighty Brahmaputra. Tai Ahoms immensely contributed to art, culture and religion of India. Brief History of AHOMS The year was 1228 A.D. when Prince Su-Ka-pha, descendent of Shans, an ethnic Tai group of Southeast Asia decided to establish a new kingdom. The wise prince with his people crossed the conical peaks, steep slopes and deep valleys of Patkai ranges, the hills on India’s northeastern border with Burma and came down to present day Assam or what they referred to as Mung-Dun-Chun-Kham, the golden land (the magnificent kingdom of Assam). By 1251 A.D. they firmly established themselves and formed their first capital in “Che-Rai-Doi” (che=city, rai=shine, doi=hill), the shining city on the hill, which is now in charaideo district of Assam state. This Ahom community was thus the ruling people in the Brahmaputra valley for six hundred years. Ahoms have made a formidable contribution in the consolidation of composite Assamese society and were virtually absorbed into the Hindu social structure. Therefore some scholars call the “Ahom” as the “Assamese Tai”. The Tai-Ahom was the earliest Tai group who migrated into Assam. This area now known as Assam, perhaps derived from the Tai word Ha-sham - the land of the Shams. Over the course of time, various Ahom groups migrated in India in successive waves. Tai Turungs are one of the last such groups who entered Assam in the early 19th century.... CHAK-LONG – THE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE SYSTEM OF TAI AHOM The traditional Ahom marriage system is known as Chak-long or Soklong and it is performed by all Ahom social custom. It has existed since the days of Nang-hun-pha (the first AhomChak-long marriage) to the present day, and is followed continuously with pomp and grandeur. The Ahom marriage in general allows the parents and guardians to select the match for their son or daughter. After marriage the girl is expected to live in her husband’s house and perform household duties among others. With the passage of time and modernization, Ahoms families are now more flexible and greater emphasis is given upon happiness of young folks. The Ahom priestly classes, viz. Deodhai, Mohan and Bailung perform the Ahom religious ceremonies including marriage and exert authority and knowledge in Chak-long system of marriage.
