Love my Heritage! Manipur was a Sovereign Monarch.
Manipur was a sovereign monarch, expanding upto a vast land including several hills and valleys. Captain Pemberton says, in 1738, the Meetei conquered Burma and took its capital, Saigang.
At the height of his power in 1740, Pamheiba was the lord paramount of a wide area of South East Asia from Yunan to Bengal, from China to Aracan. The British Empire divided this vast Kingdom into pieces like they divided India into three nations – India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Meetei King controlled the hills of entire modern day Manipur. The administration was federal structure where the village chiefs were granted freedom, in return for small tributes annually. The rebel village chiefs were crushed from time to time.
But, this does not mean the hill tribes were independent. They were subject of the Meetei King. The Meetei king used the tribes whenever he need them. For example, when the Angamis revolted against the British in Naga Hills, the Meetei King Chandrakirti sent a huge contingent of 1000 sepoys from Meetei Leibak, along with 2000 irregular khongjai troops to save the British from the terror of Angamis.
Modern day historian and scholars sidelined the contribution of Hao Macha Loishang, popularly known as the Department of Hill Tribes which was installed during the reign of Meetei King Irengba (984- 1074 AD). This loishang was reorganized further by Meetei king Pamheiba (1698 – 1709 AD). This Hao Macha Loishang looks after the affairs of hills.
The Meetei never sidelined the hill people in the long history of Manipur. The Meeteis helped the Angamis in the Naga Hills in revolting against the British in 1879.
During the revolt against the Deputy Commissioner of Naga Hills by Angamis, it was recorded that Meeteis supported the Angamis with weapons and they even participated physically. Even when Manipur was occupied by British Empire in 1891, the defeated Meetei were asked to disarmed.

This was done by British and not me. Why did they never mention meiteis? Because they were never there..that's why they burnt the library,and that's why they are not like any other tribes.

TEARS OF THE SUN 😢
Whether it's day or night, when hope is gone, all is gone with it. Another day, another sunrise, another weeping, another killing, another raped and another property destruction.

Dr.Sitlhou in her article 'How Fake News Created Pretexts to Lynch Kuki-Zo Women in Manipur' emphasizes how disinformation and rumors have led to brutality against women and left Manipur more divided.
