"Prior to the war, the British interfered into, the internal affairs of Manipur' to colpnise the land.
However, brave forefathers of the land challenged the mighty British and beheaded five British officers including political agent inside Kangla," he recounted.
"Such incident never happened anywhere in India and the British declared war against Manipur on March 31, 1891 .
Forefathers ofthe land also prepared for the war with the thought that it is better to live independently at least for one day than to live under subjugation.
This was the message forefathers of the land left for future generation and it is responsibility of the sons and daughters of the land to carry forward this message," Joychandra stressed.
According to Joychandra, the Government of India fully understands that Manipur is a nation with courageous and patriotic people.
"As such, the Government of India has been suppressing the people of Manipur for a long time using different tactics with present day tactic being the war waged against the Meetei community by employing Kuki militants," he claimed.
