SHORT HISTORY OF MANIPUR

Since ancient times, the Meitei people have lived in the valleys of Manipur alongside the highlanders in the hills and valley in peace. Meitei Pangal (Muslims) people settled in the valleys during the reign of Meidingu Khagemba in the year 1606. Since then, they also lived along with the Meitei.

Mythological origins begin with the reign of the "Konchin Tukthapa Ipu Athoupa Pakhangpa" (Pakhangpa was the name given to him meaning "The one who knows his father"), who gave birth the seven clans of Meitei society. The pre-Hindu era is set forth in the sacred writing puya "Wakoklon Heelel Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok". Introduction of the Vaishnavism school of Hinduism brought about changes in the history of the state. Manipur's early history is set forth in the Cheitharon Kumbaba, a chronicle of royal events which is believed to record events from the foundation of the ruling dynasty.

Manipur became a princely state under British rule in 1891, 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. The Japanese were beaten back before the Allies could enter Imphal. This proved to be one of the turning points of the war.

Constitution : The basis of any system of government, democratic or otherwise, is its Constitution. A Constitution is the vehicle of a Nation's progress. It is a legal and social document. In democracy, however, Constitution has a special significance. Modern writers view the Constitution as a scheme for the arrangement of power-relationship inside a community. The basis of a Constitution lies in a belief in limited government. In a democracy, however, Constitution has a special significance. Still, writers differ as to the precise meaning of the term Constitution. Its general nature may be understood by examining some of the authoritative statements of eminent writers. For instance, Lord Bryce defined a Constitution as "a frame of political society organised through and by law, that is to say, one in which law has established permanent institutions with recognised functions and definite rights." According to Dicey, ''it includes (among other thing...
