Battle of Samdhara
Battle of Samdhara was the first naval battle fought between Mughals and the Ahoms in 1616. == Background == The first direct clash of arms between the Ahoms and Mughals was occasioned by an illegal trade-affair carried by a merchant, Ranta or Ratan Shah by name, who was procuring aloes-wood for Jahangir, at Singri, that lay to the east of the Barnadi and within the Ahom kingdom.
