The Konyak Union (KU) participated in the Jayanti Memorial Day commemorating the life and sacrifice of Ahom woman Joymoti. The programme was organised by the All Tai Ahom Students’ Union at Sonari Town Auditorium in Charaideo district, Assam, on March 28, with KU president K. Yamao Konyak attending as the chief guest.
The event highlighted the longstanding relationship between the Ahoms and the Konyak Nagas, marked by peaceful coexistence and mutual respect. Historical accounts and oral traditions point to alliances, cultural exchanges, and matrimonial ties, including the marriage of an Ahom king to Watlong Anghya of the Konyak tribe.
The occasion served as a tribute to Joymoti’s legacy while reaffirming unity among communities. Addressing the gathering, the KU president urged the younger generation to preserve this shared heritage and carry forward the legacy of friendship and harmony.
The Union also called for strengthening unity in social, political, and economic spheres, emphasising dialogue, cooperation, and peace as essential to building a harmonious and progressive future.
