About the Book

The conflict between Manipur and the British Raj of 1891 has never been documented, and it is fitting that John and Saroj Parratt’s account and analysis of the event should appear in the centenary year of the event. It is an extraordinary narrative in which multiple British diplomatic and military blunders led to the decisive defeat of a force of crack Gurkha troops at the hands of the tiny state of Manipur, and to the public execution of five high-ranking British officers. Following the inevitable crushing of Manipur by the might of the Raj, the leading figure on the Manipuri side, the young and popular Crown Prince Koireng Tikendrajit, was arraigned before a military tribunal in a trial which violated a good many of the tenets of British justice, and condemned to be hanged. The Manipuri affair of 1891 symbolised a tragic struggle for national identity. It is a story of the complex tangle of the relationship between British power and an independent state, and of the personal tragedies of Koireng Tikendrajit, Political Officer Grimwood and his beautiful and resourceful wife. This book is based on detailed archival research in London, Delhi, Calcutta and Imphal, and on field research in Manipur. This gripping narrative is recounted here with great vividness and elegance.
