Answer:
The emergences of large states changed the nature of tribal societies. This could be explained with the help of two examples - the Gond society and the Ahom society.

In the reign of Sib Singh, Hinduism became the predominant religion. But the Ahom kings did not completely give up their traditional beliefs after adopting Hinduism.
