On September 21, 1949, Manipur, a region in northeastern India, was officially merged with the Indian Union. This merger marked an important moment in the history of Manipur, as it transitioned from a princely state under the British colonial system to become part of the newly independent nation of India. The merger was the result of negotiations between representatives of the Manipur State and the Indian government.
Manipur had been a princely state with its own monarchy and governance before this merger. After the merger, it became a union territory within India and later achieved full statehood on January 21, 1972.
The integration of princely states like Manipur into the newly independent India was a complex and significant process that played a crucial role in shaping the political and administrative map of the country after gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
