Eastern Manipur-Burma

Remote Location Near Manipur-Burma Border. approx. Lat. N° 25.09, E° 94.36 Approximately 1500 meters above the sea level (5000+ ft.) The Eastern Manipur region which Borders with Burma (Myanmar) has a lush evergreen Hilly terrain. The Hills aren't the same as the ones seen in Himalayan states such as Himachal or Uttrakhand but rather smaller and a mix of Undulating topography, Larger Hills at the periphery and a Huge expanse of plain Valleys of alluvial tracts possibly shaped by flooding of the region in the past. This region is Inhabited by Tangkhul tribe a Sub division in the great Naga or (Mao) tribe. The Mao language is classified as one of the Angami-Pochuri languages which is sub categorized as an independent dialect taking it's origins from the Tibeto-Burman languages, Which along with other evidences paints a gradual migration from Burma (Myanmar) into present Day North-East India. The Battle of Imphal during World war II very rarely if ever credit the imperative role of these Naga tribes who helped allied forces by pushing back the Japanese, which is one of the reasons these tribes afterwards were granted a special status (Article 371 A ) which allows them to bear arms along with several other rights to protect their territory. Tangkhul is one of 3 main tribes in manipur out of Meitei (Hindu) kuki and tangkhul who are mostly converted christians by the missionaries under the british colonial rule. Tangkhul people are the ones doing the mass production around the ukhrul district that borders with burma and a few kuki tribes as well however this region is dominated by tangkhul tribe while kuki tribes are more concentrated towards churachandpur, sikul and metei people living mostly in and around the capital imphal which is also strongly suggest a social and economic status amonst the tribes. Manipur in General has a tropical to Subtropical climate for most of the year except the winter months when the rainfall finally takes a break after an Avg. 2000+ mm preci
