Re: Re: [Assam] Introduction Malla Baruah

Dear Dipankar:
Thanks for the information about Malla Baruahs. I have better and exciting news though. I asked you the question about Malla Baruah, and I got the authentic answer here in Houston itself from my friend Mr Rabin Mahanta (another ex-Oilindian). So now probably I know more about the (famous) Malla Baruahs in Assam then you. Anyhow the following information about the Malla Baruah family was gathered through Rabin Mahanta whose Grand Mother comes from the famous Malla Baruah family in North Kamrup, Xankusi to be exact.  The title Malla Baruah was apparently given to the family by the Ahom king Gadadhar Singha. It appears that it was the time when the famous Harakanta-Birakanta brothers of Kamrup were trying to revolt against the Ahom king.  During this time, Gadadhar Singha appointed and established the ancestor with the title of Malla Baruah and granted lots of land and properties.  The Malla Baruah family acted like a Viceroy for the Ahom King on that part of the country. In modern terms, the Malla Baruah family probably acted like a War Lord and pacified any unwanted revolution and maintained law and order and probably collected taxes on behalf of the Ahom Kings. The family used to maintain a fleet of elephants and I am sure they used to maintain an army consisted of probably Mallas (or Mals) for the purpose.  So Malla Baruah are from a warrior family like that of the Baro Bhuyans (the ancestor family of our famous Xongkordev).  You are right that all the Malla Baruahs are probably related one way or another. Now you may not know it but by default you are distant relatives of Rabin Mahanta as well as Dilip Deka of Houston. I also came to know that our National poet famous Ajit Malla Baruah hails from this family. Looks like Assam is a small world mainly controlled by the Malla Baruahs. Keep it up.
 
BTW I worked in the Mechanical Engineering discipline and left Oil India in 1979. Since then I have been living in Houston and working here in the oil & gas industry as an engineer. How is the Well Logging Department doing now. What technilogy youuse? Do you do 3-D Survey etc?
Thanks
Rajen Barua

Rajen da,

As far as I know, we Malla Baruahs are related to one another and there is only one big Malla Baruah family originally from North Kamrup. The meaning of my middle name that you have guessed is probably correct as I remember my father saying such a thing to me.

Rajen da, when did you work in OIL. Which department did you work in. What you are doing now. I will be glad to know all these.

Dipankar

Welcome to Dipankar from an ex OilIndian.
May I ask you couple of questions:
Are you related to Paresh Malla Baruah?
Do you know how you guys got the middle name Malla?
Is it a title given to your ancestor by the Ahoms?
Normally that would probably mean 'an officer who is in charge of the Malla jujarus"?
But I may be wrong.
Thanks
Rajen Barua, Houston
