What is different between ahom and gonds
Ahoms:
1) The Ahom state used forced labour. Those forced to work for the state were called paiks. A census of the population was taken. Each village had to send a number of paiks by rotation.
2) Ahom society was divided into clans or khels. There were very few castes of artisans, so artisans in the Ahom areas came from the adjoining kingdoms. Originally, the Ahoms worshipped their own tribal gods.
Gonds:
1) The Gonds practised shifting cultivation. The large Gond tribe was further divided into many smaller clans.
2) The kingdom was divided into garhs. Each garh was controlled by a particular Gond clan. This was further divided into units of 84 villages called chaurasi.
3) With wars with Marathas, and the Mughals their equal society became unequal.
