Why Khongjom Fort Thoubal Matters
Cultural Heritage
Erected during the prosperous reign of Rajarshi Bhagyachandra in the 18th century, Khongjom Fort initially served as a critical strategic outpost safeguarding the eastern frontiers of the Kangleipak kingdom. This period, marked by frequent territorial assertions and conflicts with neighbouring polities, necessitated robust defensive infrastructure. The fort's design, integrating natural contours with engineered ramparts, reflects the sophisticated military architectural understanding prevalent in Manipur during the pre-colonial era. Its primary function was to monitor and repel incursions, ensuring the security of the royal capital, Kangla, and the broader Manipuri heartland. This earlier incarnation underscores a legacy of indigenous strategic planning long before the colonial encounter. The fort's most poignant historical chapter unfolded on April 23, 1891, during the climactic Anglo-Manipuri War. Here, Manipuri forces, led by valiant commanders such as Major Paona Brajabashi and Chongtha Mia, made a desperate final stand against the technologically superior British army. Despite being armed primarily with traditional weapons like spears and muskets against British artillery and modern rifles, the Khongjom Lallup, a volunteer corps, fought with unparalleled ferocity. This decisive engagement, though resulting in the subjugation of Manipur, etched Khongjom into the annals as a symbol of unwavering indigenous resistance and profound sacrifice against imperial expansion.
