4. History of Manipur
Manipur became a princely state under British rule in 1891, the last of
the independent states to be incorporated into British India. During
the Second World War, Manipur was the scene of battles between
Japanese and Allied forces. The Japanese were beaten back before
the Alliescould enter Imphal. This proved to be one of the turning
points of the War.
After the war, the Manipur Constitution Act, 1947, established a
democratic form of government with the Maharaja as the
Executive Head and an elected legislature. In 1949, Maharaja
Budhachandra was summoned to Shillong, capital of the Indian
province of Meghalaya where he signed a Treaty of Accession
merging the kingdom into India. Thereafter the legislative
assembly was dissolved and Manipur became part of the Republic
of India in October, 1949.[1] It was made a union territory in
1956[2] and a full-fledged state in 1972.[3] Mohammed Alimuddin
became the first Chief Minister in 1972 of the State of Manipur. Last king of Manipur
