Pratap Singha, or Susenghphaa, was king of the Ahom kingdom of Assam from 1603 to 1641. He created the offices of the Borbarua and the Borphukan, reorganised the paik labour system through his official Momai Tamuli Borbarua, and fought a long war with the Mughal Empire over Kamrup that ended with the Treaty of Asurar Ali in 1639. His reign is regarded as a high point of Ahom state-building.
