How did manipur come under the rule of the british government? write at least 10 sentences?

Answer»

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.[citation needed]

After the war, the Manipur CONSTITUTION Act, 1947, established a democratic form of government with the MAHARAJA as the Executive Head and an elected legislature. In 1949, Maharaja Budhachandra was summoned to Shillong, capital of the Indian province of Meghalaya where he SIGNED a Treaty of Accession merging the kingdom into India. Thereafter the legislative assembly was dissolved and Manipur became part of the Republic of India in October, 1949.[1] It was made a union territory in 1956[2] and a full-fledged state in 1972.[3]Mairembam Koireng Singh became the first Chief Minister in 1972 of the State of Manipur.[4]
