Changes & Chat with Jayadhwaj Singha

28th January 1657

Upon hearing the news about the Empire's establishment, people throughout the empire spontaneously started celebrating the next day as the new Diwali of the empire. The old Diwali celebrated the arrival of light and marked the end of an evil demon, while the new Diwali commemorated the expulsion of the invaders from their Ahomland.

The excitement was not only among the poor people of the empire but also among the rich. With the end of the war, the chokehold of the military-economic system was being released little by little, and state-owned enterprises, starting with the smallest ones like factories responsible for assembling parts or manufacturing small items, were being privatized by the dozens every day.
