Dimasa

Dimasa, also called Kachari, was a kingdom of the Dimasa people in Assam. In 1337 its rulers were based at Dimapur, their capital since the late thirteenth century.

King Khorapha died fighting the Ahom, who captured Dimapur in 1536. Nirbhaya Narayana founded a new capital at Maibang in 1558, but the Ahom stormed it in 1706. The court moved to Khaspur in 1745; the British annexed its plains in 1832 and hills in 1834, ending the kingdom.
