The Statesman | Ninglun Hanghal | 03 Feb 2014 :
Phaitong village in Manipur’s Churachandpur district saw the light of the Gospel for the first time when Thangvang Guite returned home after completing his study in a missionary school in the Lushai Hills (now Mizoram) in 1913. Guite was one of the first converts after Welsh Calvinistic missionary Watkin Roberts set foot in Manipur in 1910 with his medical team.
Thangvang was one of the greatgrandsons of Pu Mangsum Guite, who established Phaitong village in 1824, and one of the grandsons of Raja Goukhothang, a powerful Guite chief whose dominion and prowess so shook the then Meitei maharajas in the erstwhile Manipur kingdom, that he was conferred the “Raja” title by the rulers of Manipur valley. Raja Goukhothang was held captive by Maharaja Chandrakriti and died in prison in 1873. Later his son Sumkam Guite made peace with Maharaja Chandrakriti under the Treaty of Sanjenthong.
