The ruins of a palace, in Dimapur, are proofs of their achievements. Dimasa and Kachari people of the Bodo-Kachari tribe once ruled a large section of the North Eastern states from Koch Bihar, Tripura to Upper districts of Assam. Over thousands of years, various groups of people immigrated to Assam, from all directions and contributed to Assamese culture and society. This is evident from the mention of Assam in the Mahabharata and in the writings of the famous Chinese monk and traveller Hiuen Tsang that provides valuable account of the then kingdom of Bhaskar Barman. Although the word Assamese is often used to mean different groups, the history of Assam dates back to periods before 200 BC. Assam is known to many as a valley of lush green forest, blue mountains and the melting pot of many ethnic groups and tribes assimilating to the Assamese culture.
