Nineteenth Century Colonial Conjuncture: Small Wars in North-East Frontier Tract

Author(s) Mr. Geri Koyu
Country India
Abstract The plains of Assam were annexed to the territories of the East India Company after the Treaty of Yandabo (February 1826), but for a long time, no attempts were made by the Company to bring the hills and forests of the North-East Frontier Tract surrounding the plains under its direct subjection. Besides, these areas were terra incognita, and the Company’s authorities were unsure whether the sparsely populated hills had sufficient economic value or surplus revenue-generating potential. Notwithstanding the fact that these areas were important from the point of view of the defence of the North East Frontier, the tribes proved to be hostile, and their country so impenetrable that the British were content to leave them and their country alone, except for an occasional expedition to punish a particular tribe for committing crimes like raiding or massacring British subjects. These expeditions to punish the tribes were military operations. These military operations in the North-East Frontier Tract can be further classified as “small wars”. The present paper delves into these more minor conflicts, which often receive less attention in historical narratives but can still have important implications for the regions and people involved. By probing these additional aspects of the North-East Frontier Tract, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities and significance of military history in shaping historical trajectories and contemporary realities.
Keywords North-East Frontier Tract, Small Wars, Colonialism, British, Frontier Tribes, Military Expeditions, Nineteenth Century.
