Manipur’s Engagement with the Indian National Army: Historical Insights into the Freedom Struggle

Author(s) Dr. Samom Tejbanta Singh, Dr. Kabirdash Mayengbam
Country India
Abstract From the Treaty of Yandaboo of 1826 onwards, the administration system of Manipur was virtually controlled by British India. Further, the Anglo-Manipur War, of 1891 led to the annexation of Manipur which became a part of British India later. From the regional involvement of the struggle, the local population of Manipur was seen actively supporting the Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) for the independence of Manipur and India as a whole. On the 14th of April 1944, the tricolor Indian flag was hoisted and established at the headquarters of INA at Moirang Kangla, Moirang, Bishnupur District, Manipur. Though the government of Manipur gave support to the British, the local population of the state showed mental and physical support to the INA as a part of the freedom movement. The methodology of the paper will be based on a historical perspective. It is based on both primary and secondary sources which will be collected from various libraries. This paper finds out the main contributions of the volunteers from different religions and regions giving active support to the organization of the army. Over and above, it will produce the role of the local people in the three months of Provisional INA Government in Manipur as well as the Battle of Imphal during the Second World War period. The objective of this paper is to analyze the historical framework of the contributions of the Manipuris in the INA movement for their independence. Nowadays the central government is giving more efforts to recognize the untold historical contributions of North-East India in the freedom movement of India. This paper will contribute a vital role in the inclusion of Manipur to point out the responsibilities in the freedom movement of India.
