crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

The merger agreement of Manipur with the Indian Union was signed between the Maharaja of Manipur Shri (L) Bodha Chandra Singh and Shri V.P. Menon, Advisor to the Government of India, Ministry of States, on behalf of the Dominion of India on 21st September, 1949 at Shillong, in which the Maharaja of Manipur surrendered his territory, titles, authority, rights and privileges, except his personal properties and religious rites, and received a sum of Rs. 3 lakhs per year.

Thus, the sovereignty and independence of Manipur as a Country came to and end on the date the Maharaja appended his signature on the historic merger agreement

(Annexure - x).

The Total area of Manipur merger agreement covered was the territory of 700 sq. miles or 26, 500 paris/hectares.

NO MERGER OF THE TRIBAL CHIEFS AND THEIR

TERRITORIES

The power and authorities of the tribe chiefs are supreme in the land of the tribes in Manipur.

They are the lords of the soil within the territory they occupied, ruled and governed. They collected taxes and levies from their subjects independently.

SO, THE MERGER AGREEMENT SIGNED BY THE MANIPURI MAHARAJA DID NOT COVER THE TERRITORY OCCUPIED BY THE TRIBAL CHIEFS AND THEIR SUBJECTS, BECAUSE THE MAHARAJA OF MANIPUR WAS NOT A TRIBAL REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAD AUTHORITY TO ACT ON THEIR BEHALF AND THE TRIBALS WERE NOT HIS SUBJECTS.

At the same time the accession instrument signed on 21st September, 1949 did not cover the hill areas which has been a separate entity (Annexure -y).

The merger of Manipur to India in 1949 testified that all the ruling Chiefs and notable native states of British India except the ruling Chiefs of the tribals in outer Manipur are merged with India.

KUKI HILLS : KUKI TERRITORY

Kukis’ Full and Undeniable Claim Over the Kuki Hills: A Historical Assertion from 641 CE to the Present Throughout the rugged terrain of the Indo-Burma frontier, a resilient people have long made their home in what is today commonly referred to as the Kuki Hills—a region encompassing parts of present-day northeast India, northwest Myanmar, and southeastern Bangladesh. The Kukis, comprising over fifty distinct tribes such as the Thadou, Zou, Hmar, Paite, Simte, Kom, Gangte, and others, have lived for centuries in these hills, defending their culture, territory, and way of life. Despite modern political boundaries and frequent attempts to diminish their historical claims, the Kuki people maintain a legitimate, ancestral, and uninterrupted connection to their land. This claim is not founded merely on sentiment but is deeply rooted in history, stretching as far back as the 7th century. The First Historical Mention: 641 CE in Tripura The earliest recorded mention of the Kukis appears ...

MOONLIGHT IN ZALENGAM : A KUKI BEAUTIFUL LADY

Chapter 1 - A Girl Named Ahsi Kim Writer- GaryThangboi Haokip The first rays of dawn stretched over the misty hills and spilled through the windows of Ahsi Kim's small home. She awoke as the morning cockerels crowed their greeting to the new day. Though exhausted from another restless night, Ahsi rose without complaint and set about her morning chores. Outside, dewdrops dotted blades of grass like miniature jewels. Ahsi breathed in the fresh scent of the earth, allowing nature's quiet beauty to soothe her tired mind, if only for a moment. Her eyes drifted to the neighbouring homes nestled together up the sloping village road, smoke already rising from kitchen fires. In the distance, fuzzy outlines of the tallest hills blurred into the pale sky. This tranquil landscape had been Ahsi's whole world for as long as she could remember. Nestled deep in the rugged Kuki hills, the tight-knit community of Zalengam carried on as it always had, undisturbed by the changes sweepin...
