Muslim Invasions of Assam were military invasions by Turko-Afghan, Bengal Sultanate, and Mughal Empire to assert political control over Assam that began in 1206, when the Ghurid Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji invaded a fringe of Kamarupa with the last in 1671 when the Mughal commander Ram Singh I tried unsuccessfully to take Assam at the Battle of Saraighat. The Ahom kingdom removed the vestigial Muslim power from Western Assam up to the Manas river in 1682 after the Battle of Itakhuli.
