 The Buranjis mention classes("khel") like the "Naoboicha" and "Hiloidari" as being originally Chutias and included in the Borahi fold.Moreover, the Tai word used for the Borahis was "Kha-lang" meaning "slaves that lived below the Chang(platform)" (the way pigs are reared in rural Assam) indicating that the term "Borahi" was a derogatory term originally used to refer to the subjugated Chutias during the early years of Ahom rule.Although most of them were absorbed into the Ahom group, some of the Chutias living in Dhemaji, Golaghat and Sibsagar districts still identify themselves as Borahi-Chutias.
