The Ahom Sabha was formed in 1893 at Sivasagar by Padmanath Gohain Baruah. It later came to be known as the Ahom Association. The Sabha tried to unite the Ahom community and raise their social and political demands.
The main political demands of the Ahom Sabha were:
i. Recognition of the Ahoms as a minority community.
ii. Reservation of seats for Ahoms in the State Assembly.
iii. Separate electorate for the Ahom community.
During the 1930s and 1940s, the Sabha worked actively to achieve these demands. However, in 1941, the organisation faced internal divisions as some members formed the Nationalist Ahoms Association, which later became weak by 1950.
