The
publication of Dr. Chandramani Singh’s “The
Boundaries of Manipur” is in consonance with the aims
and objects of the Historical Division, Pan Manipuri
Youth League, as it marks a new and significant addition
to the works on the History of Manipur.
The
author has rightly devoted a chapter of his book to the
wrongful occupation of the Kabaw Valley (7000 square
miles in area), a district of Manipur, by Burma. The
maintenance of the territorial integrity of India and
the vital consideration of her defence also demand the
adoption of prompt and proper measures by the Government
of India for the restoration of this territory to
Manipur.
So
far as the Historical Division is concerned, it will
always consider it a part of its duty if it can in any
ay inspire the compilation and publication of scholarly
and scientific treatises like the present one of Dr.
Chandramani Singh.
