Manipur’s Merger with India | September 21, 1949 Documentary

Discover the real story behind Manipur’s merger with India on September 21, 1949 — a turning point that reshaped the region’s history. This documentary dives deep into the Manipur Merger Agreement, the role of Maharaja Bodhachandra Singh, and the political complexities surrounding what many call a forced annexation.

Learn how the merger led to the dissolution of Manipur’s elected assembly, the lasting political and cultural implications, and how historical decisions continue to influence Manipur’s identity and struggle for recognition.
