AKA HILLS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 454 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
AKA HILLS , a
tract
  of country on the north-
east
  frontier of India, occupied by an independent tribe called the Akas. It lies north of the
Darrang
 
district
  of Eastern Bengal and Assam, and is bounded on the
east
  by the
Daphla
  Hills and on the west by independent Bhutia tribes. The Aka country is very difficult of access, the direct road from the plains leading along the precipitous channel of the Bhareli river, which divides the Aka from the
Daphla
  country. The Akas are a brave
people
 , and the men are strong and well-made. Their reputation as raiders is sufficiently shown in the division of the tribe into two clans, the Hazari-khoas or " eaters of a thousand hearths," and the Kapah-chors or " thieves that lurk in the
cotton
  fields." In the early years of British occupation, about 1829, they gave much trouble; and in 1883 they broke out once more into their old habits. They raided into the British
district
  of
Darrang
  and carried off several native forest
officers
  as hostages. An expedition was sent against them under General Sale Hill with 86o troops, which was completely successful. All its objects were satisfactorily accomplished, namely, the recovery of the captives, the surrender of all firearms, the payment of the fine inflicted by government, the complete submission of the tribe and the survey of the country.
