Treaty of Ghilajharighat

Treaty of Ghilajharighat

The Treaty of Ghilajharighat, Tipam, was signed between the Ahoms and the Mughal forces led by Mir Jumla on January 23, 1663. The treaty brought Mir Jumla's occupation of the Ahom capital, Garhgaon, to an end.

Terms

The conditions of the treaty were as follows:

# Jayadhwaj Singha was to send a daughter to the Imperial harem. [The princess was six-year old Romoni (Nangsen) Gabhoru, daughter of Jayadhwaj Singha and Pakhori Gabhoru. She was married as Rahmat Begum to Muhammad A'zam, the son of Aurangzeb in 1668. Nothing is known about her fate after A'zam was killed in the succession war after Aurangzeb's death.]
# Twenty thousand "tolas" of gold, six times this quantity of silver and forty elephants to be made over at once.
# Three hundred thousand "tolas" of silver and ninety elephants to be supplied within twelve months.
# Six sons of the chief nobles to be made over as hostages pending compliance with the last mentioned condition.

# The country west of the Bharali river on the north bank of the Brahmaputra and of the Kolong on the south to be ceded to the Empreror of Delhi.
# All prisoners and the family of the Baduli Phukan to be given up. [Baduli Phukan, who was the Neog Phukan and commander-in-chief of the Ahom forces had defected to the Mughal side in September, 1662 along with many followers. He was Momai Tamuli Borbarua's (and Pakhori Gabhoru's) brother. He was made Subedar of the region between Gargaon and Namrup. He went to Dhaka with Mir Jhumla and played a role when Laluk-sola Borphukan deserted Guwahati in 1679.]
