520			_aThis paper intends to trace conflicts in Manipur that were prevalent during the pre-colonial (1759-1826) and colonial period (1891-1947). The numerous conflicts in Manipur where the people directed their grievances or hostility against a ‘common enemy’, also eventually manifested itself into violence and enmity amongst tribes and communities. In the beginning, the conflict was between the people of Manipur and its neighbouring state, Burma (Myanmar) which resulted in bringing the kingdom of Manipur under the Burmese rule for seven years (1819-1825) which is known in Manipur’s history as, ‘Seven Years Devastation’.The aftermath of this war with the court of Ava (Myanmar) was followed by even more uprisings and revolts against the colonial power. After the defeat of the Manipuris in the Anglo-Manipur war of 1891, an administrative system known as the ‘Native Rule’ started and the administration of Manipur was controlled through a British representative. The seeds of non-cooperation being sown between tribes;the beginning of hill-valley divide;along with other factors, the past conflicts provide us ‘background knowledge’ for understanding complex contemporary ethnic relations in Manipur. - Reproduced
