        abstract = {This study examines Manipur's politically delicate and historically complicated history, emphasizing how colonial tactics and post-independence political choices contributed to the current unrest in the area. This study explores a long-standing and intricate implementation of Western goals in India, particularly through the northeastern state of Manipur, going far beyond the superficial story of Scheduled Tribe (ST) status demands or ethnic conflicts. The paper makes a strong case that outside forces have consistently shaped Manipur's sociopolitical landscape, frequently at the expense of indigenous cohesion and autonomy, starting with King Pamheiba's conversion in 1709 and continuing through the deliberate use of religion, ethnicity, and education by colonial rulers. Burmese invasions, the so-called "Seven Years Devastation," and the historical transition from Kangleipak to Manipur created the basis for vulnerability, which the British Empire took advantage of by using divide-and-rule strategies. Divisions were further cemented by the Meiteis, Nagas, and Kukis being strategically placed into rival ethnic groups and by the founding of missionary schools to spread Christianity. The article also reexamines the contentious 1949 admission of Manipur to the Indian Union, casting doubt on the validity and free will of the Instrument of Accession that Maharaja Bodhchandra Singh signed. This is regarded as a turning point that led to decades of political instability, insurgency, and loss of autonomy. The Meitei community's demand to be a Scheduled Tribe and the ensuing ethnic tensions—such as the recent clashes between the Meitei and Kuki—are examined in the present as continuations of a lengthy historical pattern of manipulation rather than as singular incidents and being denied the right to vote. The paper makes the claim that Manipur's current problems are the result of a complex colonial and postcolonial legacy by critically analyzing case studies, official records, and historical archives.},
