The history of Manipur is reflected by archaeological research, mythology and written history. Historically, Manipur was an independent sovereign kingdom ruled by Meitei dynasty but at different point of time it was invaded and rule over by other state and authority.[1][2][3][4] The Kangleipak State developed under King Loiyumba with its first written constitution in the early 12th century.[5] Manipur under the 18th-century king Pamheiba saw the legendary burning of sacred scripture.
Manipur became a princely state under British rule in 1891 after the Anglo-Manipur war, the last of the independent states to be incorporated into British India. During the Second World War, Manipur was the scene of battles between Japanese and Allied forces. After the war, Maharaja Bodhachandra signed a Treaty of Accession merging the kingdom into India.[6] It was made a union territory in 1956[7] and a full-fledged state in 21 January 1972.[8]
