Imphal, April 22 2021:
On the occasion of Khongjom Day, the Manipur Students' Association Delhi (MSAD) has paid tributes to the heroes of Khongjom War.
In a statement, MSAD recalled that Manipur which has a history of over 2000 years was once an independent kingdom before merging to the Indian union.
Our forefathers, to save the sovereignty of the State, fought many battles against invaders in the past, it said, adding that Khongjom War was one such battle where a number of our forefathers laid down their lives for the sake of Manipur.
The students association also paid homage to the unsung heroes of the Khongjom War whose name we don't find mentioned in history textbooks or any other source for that matters.
They were no less a hero than the ones we remembered by and we pay the same respect to them as to the others.
