About the Book:
The unique geographical condition of Manipur was to a great
extent responsible for development of a unique culture and traditions in
Meeteis are quite isolated from the rest of the world. The Meeteis culture is a
separate culture by itself although it is confined to a pocket of humanity
small in number, and settled in a part of the globe surrounded on all sides by
hills and mountains. The present book to analyse the richest cultural heritage
of Meeteis are the product of various forces--- Native, Aryanism from the West
and the Mongoloid from the Eastern countries.
