    <h1> <b> HISTORY OF MANIPUR </b> </h1>
    <P> Manipur, full of natural beauty, has an ancient and rich history of its own.
    Its history is obtained from archaeological research, myths and written history.
    Its ancient name is Kanlaipak . In the context of naming of Manipur, where it is
    linked to mythological stories, the facts obtained prove that in ancient times,
    Manipur was called by different names by the neighboring states, like 'Katha' by
    the Burmese, 'Katha' by the Assamese . Mowgli', 'Mikli' etc. History also shows
    that Manipur was also known by the names Maitrabak, Kanlaipun or Ponthokalam
    etc.</p>
    <P> Manipur has a long and illustrious history even before the beginning of the
    Christian era. The written history of the dynasties here begins with the coronation
    of Pakhangba in 33 AD . He ruled this land as the first ruler for 120 years (33-154
    AD). After that many kings ruled Manipur. Going forward, Maharaj Kiyamba of Manipur
    ruled in 1467, Khagemba in 1597, Charairomba in 1698, Garibniwaz in 1714,
    Bhagyachandra (Jaisingh) in 1763, Gambhir Singh in 1825. Mahavir Maharajas like him
    ruled and protected the borders of Manipur.</p>
    <P> Manipur's independence and sovereignty lasted until the early 19th century.
    After that, the Burmese people occupied and ruled here for seven years (from 1819
    to 1825). The Battle of Khongjom ( British-Manipuri War ) took place on April 24,
    1891 in which Manipur's brave fighter Pauna Brajbasi attained martyrdom while
    defending his motherland from the hands of the British. Thus, Manipur came under
    British rule in 1891 and became independent along with the rest of the country in
    1947.</p>

    <P> When the British left Manipur in 1947, the rule of Manipur fell on the
    shoulders of Maharaja Bodhchandra . After the merger treaty signed on 21 September
    1949, Manipur became a part of India from 15 October 1949. It joined the Indian
    Union as a Part 'C' state under a Chief Commissioner when the Indian Constitution
    came into force on 26 January 1950 . Later, in its place a Regional Council was
    formed which had 30 elected and two nominated members.</p>

    <P> After this, in 1962, under the Union Territories Act, an assembly of 30 elected
    and three nominated members was established. With effect from December 19, 1969,
    the status of the administrator was increased from Chief Commissioner to Lieutenant
    Governor. On January 21, 1972, Manipur gained full statehood and an assembly
    consisting of 60 elected members was constituted. Of these, 19 are reserved for
    Scheduled Tribes and 1 for Scheduled Castes. The state has two representatives in
    the Lok Sabha and one in the RajyaSabha.</p>
