(a) Why was Khagemba going to Delhi?
Answers
Answer:
The history of Manipur (Kangleipak in ancient times) is reflected by archaeological research, mythology and written history. However, with the finding of old lost Puya (written documents) called Wakoklon Heelel Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok Puya which was written around 1398 BCE (verified by National Archives of India, New Delhi on 29/11/1989) at the time of King Mongyamba, the kings of Kangleipak need to be updated.
Since ancient times, the Meitei people have lived in the valleys of Manipur alongside the highlanders in the hills and valley in peace. Pangal (Muslims) people settled in the valleys during the reign of Meidingu Khagemba in the year 1606. Since then, they also lived along with the Meitei.
Mythological origins begin with the reign of the "Konchin Tukthapa Ipu Athoupa Pakhangpa" (Pakhangpa was the name given to him meaning "The one who knows his father"), who gave birth the seven clans of Meitei society.
The pre-Hindu era is set forth in the sacred writing puya "Wakoklon Heelel Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok Puya". Introduction of the Vaishnavism school of Hinduism brought about changes in the history of the state. Manipur's early history is set forth in the Cheitharon Kumbaba, a chronicle of royal events which is believed to record events from the foundation of the ruling dynasty.
