How were Mughals viewed in your history and culture? Were they seen as a gigantic threat or just another enemy?

The fact of Ahoms defeating Mughals more than once has gotten very famous nowadays, so I wonder what happens when you take a deep dive into it. The Burmese managed to damage the Ahom state more than the Mughals, so I wonder if the Mughals were seen as just another casual enemy rather than some huge achivement at beating. Same for Kangleipak, Jaintias, Tripura and many tribes which were invaded by the Mughals. How did you guys see them?
