Haats: Connecting the Boderlanders of Assam-nagaland
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Haats or the market places from a long time in history have been occupying an important place in interlinking various communities together. They not only connect different communities together but also reflect the social and economic life of the peoples. In regards to the Haats in the foothills they imitate a different picture of ambiguity. Turning back to the pages of history from the pre-colonial times, the Ahoms and the Nagas had a long trading history. The borderlanders in the foothills of Assam-Nagaland had their own stories of trading in the Haats. They carry along with them their own experiences of trading. Therefore this paper is an attempt to understand the Haats and its role in connecting the borderlanders of AssamNagaland.
