From the preface: "Manipur has a long and glorious history since the beginning of the Christian era. The recorded history of Kingship started from 33 AD, which marked the coronation of Pakhangba. After Pakhangba a series of kings ruled over the kingdom of Manipur. The Independence and sovereignty of Manipur remained uninterrupted until the Burmese invaded and occupied it for approximately seven years in the first quarter of 19th century 1819-1826. Then came the British paramount in 1891. Manipur regained Independence along with the rest of India in 1947. When the Constitution of India came into force on 26th January 1950, Manipur became a Part C State under a Chief Commissioner in 1950-51, a Council of Advisors was introduced in 1957, which was replaced by a territorial Council of 30 elected and 2 nominated members. Later in 1963 a Territorial Assembly of 30 elected and 3 nominated members was established under the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963."
