Mongolians came to old Assam. They migrated from Hoang-Ho and Yangtze River banks across the north east corner of old Assam and scattered and dwelt in different river banks of the state. “The upper course of the Yangtze and the Hoang-Ho in North West China were the original home of the Tibeto-Burman races.” (Grierson’sThe Linguistic Survey of India).According to Bhaben Narzy, before 2000 BC, the Mongolian people were found wandering in Siberia and Mongolia. With the change in time they scattered towards three different angles. One of them proceeded towards south and took to reside in the bank of Hoang-Ho River and Tibet Malbhumi in the south west of China. They established a high civilization there. According to Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, they came to Assam in 2000 BC. “The area of characterization for the primitive Sino-Tibetan speech appears to have been North-Western China between the headwaters of the Huang-Ho and theYangtze Kiang Rivers.” (Suniti Kumar Chatterjee).

They were the primitive people of the area north to the Himalayas and west China. That area was known as Bod. The meaning ofBodasa Tibetan word is ‘the first dwelling place or homeland.
