"Archaeological excavations in Manipur"

1.O. Kumar Singh who carried out archaeological excavations in Manipur is of

the opinion that the finds resemble those of South East Asia and China.

2.On the basic of language, G. A. Grierson assigns the origin of the Naga to Tibeto-Burmans who came in the second wave of migration from the north-western area of the Hwangho River.

(Grierson, 1967, p. 6).

3.J.N.Chowdhury believes that all evidence points to a westward migration of people from the direction of Burma and South East Asia generally to North Eastern India and Assam.

4.Fitz Gerald comments, Chinese influence,

Chinese culture, and Chinese power have always moved southwards since the first age and continued throughout the centuries until modern times.

5.Moving from China nearer to the North Eastern states of India, we find in the 5th century A.D. the Tibeto-Burman speakers had established their kingdom Pyu in Central Burma with their capital at Old Prome on the Irrawaddy.

6.S. A. Ansari is of the view that the Mongoloid reached North-East India following two routes.One passed through Tibet and the other through the Yunan Province of China. 7.Those from the Tibet side came across the

Himalayas and settled in Himachal Pradesh, Brahmaputra Valley of Assam, Nagaland, Northern-Western Burma and almost the northern half of Manipur (Ansari, 1991, p. 27). 8.Naorem Sanajaoba opines that a second

migration of a large scale from China took place in the 8th century A.D. Yunan witnessed tribal turbulence.

9.Tai Ko lo feng’s invasions of Burma and occupation of the fertile land of the upper Irrawaddy valley in 757-763 A.D. further accelerated the population push in the direction of weaker resistance like Manipur. It is quite probable that the ethnic strife which tore apart China and part of the South East Asian countries might have compelled the ancestors of the ethnos of Manipur, to migrate to a safer place (Sanajaoba, 1995, p. 9).

10.Moirangthem Chandrashing and elder of the Kashung clan of Kabomi concur with this view.

11.Ranjit Kanti Das stated that the Maring (a Naga tribe of Manipur) migrated to Manipur to escape the wrath and torture of the

Burmese, and to seek protection from the King of Manipur (Shimray, 1995, p. 20).
