Question

why were Henry veralst and his troop unable to reach manipur​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Manipur was never under British rule though defeated by the British in the only 1st and last Anglo-Manipuri war.

Time to ignore pseudo-historians and ill-informed historians' false write-ups and come to true historical perspectives

It is time that Manipuri intellectuals and youths try to find out what is Manipur's real history. To understand this, one has to have a fair background of Anglo-Manipuri relationship. It all started with incompetent Chit Sai (Ajit Sai), who gifted Kabaw Valley to Burma earlier and flew to Tripura, and asking the British to restore his kingdom. King Bhagyachandra, the son of Shyamjai Khurailakpa and who was in his rightful Throne, sent one Bangali speaking Haridas Gosain to Chitagong to counter Chit Sai and briefed the real scenario.

Haridas met Mr. Verelst, rejected Chit Sai's plea and agreed to what Haridas said. Not only this, Haridas also told Mr. Verelst the need of British help for the frequent Manipur-Burma war and the advantages the British will have in trading with China through Manipur and Burma. This would be possible if there is peace in the region. Hence, Mr. Verelist agreed to the proposal and sent to Mr. Vansittart, the Governor General of Bengal and President of the Board of Directors of the British East-India Company, for final acceptance.

good luck dude...
