The Meitei kingdom whose Manipur rulers maintained an unbroken royal dynasty for over eight centuries — inventors of polo, masters of classical dance, keepers of the Puya manuscript tradition — before the 1949 merger with India.
Kingdom of Manipur (1110-1949) — the Meitei royal state of the Imphal Valley whose Ningthouja dynasty preserved a distinct civilization of classical Manipuri dance, the Puya manuscript tradition, and polo — a sport the Meitei invented centuries before the British adopted it — through eight centuries of conflict with Burmese kingdoms and colonial pressure. The 1949 Merger Agreement, signed by Maharaja Budhachandra under disputed circumstances, remains a defining grievance in Manipuri political consciousness, fueling decades of insurgency from a people who carry one of Northeast India's most ancient sovereign traditions. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that Imphal Valley royal legacy and Manipur Indian heritage with a QR code linking to the full story.
