: It might be worth mentioning a kingdom which was known by various exonyms such as Meckley, Moglai, Kathe etc before British intervention to a 700 sq miles kingdom as propagated by some scholars with vested interest. I am not only using work of British author, but that of Burmese historian. Imphal valley is surrounded in all sides by Manipur hills ( present day 90 % area of Manipur), it would not be wise to assume a kingdom would expand upto Myanmar during Khagemba, Pamheiba reign etc<ref>{{Cite book |last=Cocks |first=Samuel William |url=https://books.google.co.in/books/about/A_Short_History_of_Burma.html?id=LIBNAAAAYAAJ&redir_esc=y |title=A Short History of Burma |date=1919 |publisher=Macmillan and Company, limited|p=59 |language=en}}</ref> leaving out the area of 90% of the land in between the two valley, unless the king and its troop can fly.

::The situation at the moment is that you have deleted well-sourced content from the article, claiming it to be "wrong information", and have nothing but [[WP:OR]] to offer in return. There is no authentic information about the extent of the traditional "Manipur kingdom". Only speculations, that generally assume that it was the same as what the British eventually decided and implemented. Bhattacharjee (2003) only talks about the "neighbouring hills" of the valley. He doesn't make any claims regarding the extent of the kingdom.
::Kamei's book was published by an international academic publisher, who found it to be worthy of publication. The pages I have referred you to, pp. 72-74, are a review of the existing work and views, including those of Meitei scholars. If you think he misrepresented the views of the original scholars, you are welcome to dig up the original sources and show where he has done so. Speculations on your part are not welcome here. -- [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 13:02, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
