Abstract

Manipur was an independent princely state ruled by the Maharajas before the arrival of the British. Despite the fact that the relationship between the Meiteis and the hill tribes was complex, there was no strong division between the Meiteis and the hill tribes. However, with the British control of the state through the Manipur State Durbar and the Political Agent, there had been a sharp division between the Meiteis and the hill tribes in the political and territorial imaginings.

Keywords
