Anglo Manipuri War - 1891 During the year 1891 taking the advantage of the quarrels among the princes of Manipur, the Britishers have tried to lay their hand in the matter of administration in Manipur. On a complain laid by Maharajah Surchandra the British planned to capture prince Tikendrajit (brother of Maharajah Kullachandra) the then Senapati of Manipur by force killing a great number of civilians. The effort was a great failure and in retaliation five British officers including the Chief Commissioner of Assam. J.W. Quinton were executed. The British Queen declared war on Manipur. Thus a great war, in which hundreds and thousands of Manipuris fought and sacrificed their lives for the protection of their motherland. The British had defeated Manipur. Lew |
