Assam was ruled by the Ahom dynasty for around 500 years prior to this event. However, the Ahom kings became inefficient due to internal unrest and lack of devotion towards duty. This led to political conflicts amongst top officials like Purnananda Burhagohain who was one of the powerfull ministers of the king in upper (eastern part) Assam and Badan Borphukan, who was a general in lower (western part) Assam. Incidentaly, Badan Borphukan was a son-in-low of Purnananda Burhagohain. Later, Purnananda Burhagohain ordered for the arrest of Badan Borphukan. Knowing this, Purnananda Burhagohain's daughter, Badan's wife warned Badan. He fled to Burma to seek the Burmese king's help to take over Assam.
