Swargadeo Rudra Singha: An Architect Of Ancient Assam

THE Ahom dynasty that entered into the then Assam (Pragjyotishpur) in 1228 CE is considered as the torchbearer of new evolutions on the bank of the mighty Brahmaputra through their state-of-the-art skills in ruling the subjects, in convening new social systems, in building architectural heritages, in enriching the economic and political systems and in bringing a cultural revolution. The Ahom kingdom that was first established by Swargadeo Sukapha was later expanded and enlarged by Swargadeo Pratap Singha and it was Swargadeo Rudra Singha who added the charm of a cultural influence into the state and its subjects. It was this influential king of the Ahom dynasty who had first attempted at building a cultural and social bridge with other Indian states to introduce new dimensions into the Assamese culture. There had always been an effort to invest time and efforts to bring a fruitful outcome in the Ahom rulers and carrying this tradition forward. Rudra Singha too tried to select the best of the culturally promising artisans from among his subjects and engage them in the practice and production of notable artistic and cultural outputs.

neScholar Magazine Description:

“neScholar Magazine” published by North East Brothers Entertainments Pvt Ltd is a Quarterly Multi-Colour magazine, registered under “RNI-MANENG/2014/00112” and “ISSN” No.2350-0336.

It (vol 01 issue 01 Oct Dec 2014) was successfully released on 27th September 2014 at Manipur Press Club, Imphal where Dr.R.K. Nimai, Former Commissioner Art and Culture, Govt of Manipur is the Editor in Chief.

The modest intention behind “neScholar Magazine” is to impart knowledge on North East India beyond school and college textbooks and also to inculcate a new form of reading habit among students.

“neScholar” Magazine is an effort for providing information to our students, which are felt relevant and good to know. We try to bring in a mix of articles covering various subjects and topics. 21st Century is an age of information and information is regarded as power. The School curricula just could not provide all the information required to make our students a knowledgeable person. And ours is a small endeavour to bridge a little of the gap in knowledge.

The world is becoming a global village and in the process many things which our ancestors have empirically learnt through experience and handed over from generations to generations is being substituted by newer things without understanding the implications. Values have changed but the traditional knowledge needs to be recorded and reassessed to understand the importance of such knowledge. Many of our cultural heritage are slowly being eroded aping other’s culture without realising the implications. The beauty of the world is its varied nuances and differences. If we have a single culture in our society, will the earth be as beautiful as it is now?

It features valuable information and articles in the field of Science & Technology, History & Archaeology, Heritage, Nature, Sports& Adventures and Career - for the curious mind. Our endeavor is to make reading an easy and joyful experience.

Board Of Editors / Expert Panel are a group of Experienced professors from reputed Universities of North East India namely Manipur University, North East Hill University (NEHU) Meghalaya, Gauhati University (Assam), Tripura University and Mizoram University.
