Item Details
- Title
- Ankar Puthi
- Description
- The manuscript provides valuable insights into the social conditions of medieval Assam. It discusses the house or premises rent during the Koch period. It includes sums associated with a particular type of non-taxable land known as Nānkār Jami. Also, the manuscript sheds light on the participation of women in trade and provides information about their social status. Notably, the manuscript suggests a gendered distinction in the social significance of bodily and calendrical markers: for women, menstrual dates were considered important, whereas for men, greater importance was attached to the date of birth, as it was used to prepare a horoscope and determine an individual’s fortune.
